ok Jafo, so how would victorshackapopolas (I know you wouldn't victorshackapopolas) go about sending him/her this crc or reading this crc for that matter? I'm just learning I guess

It may have been innocent, but it still seems odd to me that multiple people received this e-mail. If he was having technical problems, why not just re-download or post a request for help here or through normal support channels? Anywho...

Thats's exactly why I was asking this guy SHOULD NOT have had my email to begin with and no matter why he is asking for this info, why ask normal people unless you're up to something. I still believe he has a different agenda, why not go to tech support, or just redownload if the email is true.
Whatever the case these people need to follow the correct paths, and I want to know how he got a hold of my email (don't like it when I deliberatley hide it and still they find it who knows he could be a spammer as well). I hope someone a Stardock can answer these problems, I've emailed Frogboy and await his response when they get back from the weekend.
I am really shocked though at how many others have had this happen to them and am glad I posted my original comment, so now everyone knows somethings going on.
(and just to clarify they where asking for file size, name, the crc, and the date created all info they DO NOT need to download and if it is corrupted just redownload, but to ask for al this is TOO suspicious)

I just installed this app a few hours ago. I've set up some pretty neat features and I love the fly out menus. They rock. Just a couple of probs to report. Sometimes when I click on a fly out and start to scroll through docs, they disapear causing OB+ to crash. This has happened at least 3 times during various times today. Any ideas when some patches will be available? I know it's still in beta but I hate being charged 15 bucks for a product that keeps crashing....

Regarding getting unwanted emails. In your account settings you can set whether your email address shows up in your profile. It's OFF by default. But it may not have been off by default long long ago (when the site was first set up) so those of you who have been around a long time may want to check on that.
Just click on the "edit account" link at the top of the page. 
BTW, glad so many people like it. I'll try to do a video sometime next week to show off some of the cool things you can do with it.
I have THREE sets of tabs that are docked by my Start bar.

heyy ive seen this before. It looks like CoolTabs or Drag Thing. My first impression of OD Plus. I hope ODP will perform so much better than those two

Would be also nice, if OD+ would save settings. Lost half of my tabs after a normal reboot.

My wish pick would be to have a static tab set that would switch docks for you when ed.
I also have fly outs that don't function.

Anyone else notice that on the default layout, the normal bar still shows when the screensaver is on?

For anyone using just a tabbed dock and wants flyout menu's. A friend told me this trick on Stardock Central Chat channel.
Create a normal Untabbed Dock, Clear it of everything and set it to autohide.
And it's that simple, it seems like there is a dock there, but there isn't. And flyout menu's now work!

This program is exactly what the doctor ordered. I had liked the previous OD, but not enough to fully make use of it as it lacked certain features. Now combining an improved Tab Launchpad really completes the package.
Really helps to open up my small screen when able to say goodbye to the taskbar.
Thanks for the great work, and I'm sure more improvements and features are coming as mentioned.

Frogboy first off I think objectdock plus is awsome.... but I do have one suggestion.
When using the system tray feature if you could implement a way to change the icons in the system tray tab so that the icons in the tray look better that would be awsome...
So far that is the only thing that I can see from just using it for one day that may need to be tweaked other than that you did an great job, keep up the good work.... can't wait to see the updates for objectdock plus..

Problems I've had -
-> Text label settings go blank IF only one dock is used, more than one and the settings seem to save?
-> SysTray Icon customization doesn't work all the time... in fact I've only gotten the dialogue once.
-> Some aspects of the fly-out menus don't work, but mine seem to work better than other people i.e. I have functioning ones.
-> Receive a "memory could not be read" error if the mouse cursor is run over an empty dock (I have an empty, non-tabbed dock with a taskbar at the top of my screen which doesn't autohide, and I receive this error when the mouse touches where the dock should be if no items are in the taskbar).
And suggestions...
-> How about "Lock Dragging" for tabbed docks?
-> I want a flyout that has many SysStats configs in it, but if you add a SysStats docklet to a flyout menu there's no way of configuring it.
-> Zooming on tabbed docks? I know that's been mentioned before.
Apart from these few technical issues that can easliy (?) be resolved, it's a great app, a lot more resource stable than 1.00 and the tabs / multiple dock features are excellent, good job!!!

'crc' is Cyclic Redundancy Check....it's a method of data checking to determine whether the entire data string is downloaded/copied. If the crc is correct then the file is complete and not corrupted.
Also...it's not appropriate to post email addys without consent so it's been removed....
