    PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files
    Brian GregoryB

    PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
    I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
    Discovered:
    a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
    b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.

    Convert archive is incorrect for some WinRAR 5 archives
    W

    WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
    In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
    If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.

      Hi PA,

      Not sure if this is what is meant to happen. But when I am on your site and click the Forums button then click the “My Account - Retrieve Codes” link on the left hand side it just refreshes the Forums page!

      However, all other links on the Skins, Download, Plugins, Support and Buy Now page all work and takes me direct to “My Account”.

              Also, just a quick reminder that the picture of PA on the 1st page of your old website is old.

              Hopefully you can update it easily to show the latest style in beta.
