Application launcher

Last month

Dear Users! We are happy to inform you about a new handy feature implemented in our siClient program. Basically, it is a tiny semi-transparent  icon, which can be placed anywhere on the screen. Once you click on this icon, it will present you with a neat list of your most frequently used applications, whence you can launch them at any moment. The list's design can be changed from siClient's "General Settings", and you can hide the icon (in case you should need to clear the whole screen area) by right-clicking on siClient's tray icon and unchecking the "Show floating icon" box. Go on, grab the latest version of siClient here and have your programs ready at your fingertips!

Make friends!

Last month

Dear Users, You can now befriend any user on our site who has helped you out with some issues, who writes amusing comments or just seems interesting to you. Just enter that person's profile and click "Add as a friend" - to be always aware of his/her presence and activities. If you prefer to be selective about your friends and who knows them, just go to the "Settings" tab of your profile and check "Ask me before adding new friends" and "Don't show my friends to anyone" boxes found at the bottom of the "Privacy settings" area.

Aliases

Last month

Dear Users! You have probably stumbled across different instances of a same program on our site, maybe even more than once. This happens because a program may be named differently based on its version, user's location, preinstalled software and many other aspects. You can now report these wrong instances (also known as "aliases") - be it a non-english title, a misspelling, or a title with excessive numbers and special symbols like © or ™ - and thus contribute to the uniformity and tidiness of the database. All you need to do when you see a false title on our list is press the "Report a wrong program title" link, found on that program's page next to the "Suggest a correction" option.

Private messages

Last month

Dear Users! If you ever feel like contacting somebody particular, but do not wish to expose your e-mail address to that user, feel free to use our new "Personal message" feature. Just enter the desired user's profile and click "Send private message" to communicate with him or her instantly and privately! Note that you need to confirm your e-mail address to be able to use this feature: proceed to your own profile and check if you still have a confirmation reminder in the "Login settings" area of your "Settings" tab.

Dealing with lists of programs

2 months ago

Dear Users! If you happened to use siClient on different computers, you probably noticed how your profile accumulated more and more separate lists of programs - one per each PC, or rather per each installment of siClient. And you probably got confused about which list related to this or that particular PC. We are happy to inform you, that you can now give descriptive names to those lists (e.g. 'My notebook' or 'Home PC'), or even delete the lists that are no longer used. Just enter your profile's "Installed software" tab and start customizing your lists!

Awards

2 months ago

Dear Users! You can now know a good title from an even better one just by giving a quick glance at each program's "Awards" section, under the appropriate tab. Go ahead, and check out the winner in every possible category, be it the most downloaded racing game, or the most popular office suite. Awards from other sites are included too, so you will always know a safe program when you see one.

Experience recalculating

3 months ago

Dear Users, We are sorry to inform you but we had to recalculate your experience and change the quantity of experience points for each action taking into consideration the latest events. Many users decided to “hit the counter” by frantically performing the easiest actions and earning thus a great experience. We considered this to be unfair regarding the rest of our users staying with us for a long time already, helping out each other with different problems and making their contribution to our site. If you think your experience has been recalculated incorrectly report it as a bug, please, and we will correct it.
