Update on Registerfly
You've probably heard about the Registerfly debacle. The end is in site. All domains are now being transferred to GoDaddy. (More on this in a moment). For now, if you go to https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/transfers/welcome_registerfly.asp?ci=9188 You can get your new GoDaddy account details emailed to you. All you need to have is your domain name which was held by registerfly. Godaddy have set up one account per registered email address, from what I can see, so if you have lots of domains at Registerfly, you might need to check that the first account you create at GoDaddy does actually contain all the domain names you are expecting it to have.

URGENT: Does Stay On Focus or The File Tagger have a virus?
Symantec/Norton anti-virus (AV) software has just yesterday flagged the FileTagger 2.0 (which is being tested by some beta-testers at the moment) and Stay On Focus as having the MSN.Flooder virus. Don't panic. This is a "false positive", which means that the AV software has incorrectly identified these files as having a virus. This happens because the AV software looks for certain "signatures" in files, and one of those signatures is found in my software. And many other pieces of perfectly legitimate and safe software. It's a false alarm, and as I was drafting this update, Symantec have actually already resolved it. Boy that was quick! So, first, I'll tell you how to fix it, then I'll give you some background, as it's possible this type ...

Time to move this site elsewhere. I can't have my helpdesk system being unreliable. I'm moving it to another host I've used before, so I know they're pretty good. But it will mean some disruption to the site probably. So my apologies if things don't go so well...

Subscriber-only Offers
I've just added a form (in the right-hand side of the page now) for a blog notification list. By subscribing to this list (managed by the reputable GetResponse.com), you'll receive a quick email notification each time I post something to the blog. Not very exciting is it? :-) Oh, alright then, I'll also throw in some special offers on my products from time to time, and some private email-subscriber-only content. How's that for a great deal? And if you're an affiliate: the subscription form ties into the affiliate program as well!

Disappearing icons in Stay On Focus! - Update
As mentioned in the comments on the last post, I've responded to people who raised a support ticket for the vanishing icons, sending them the URL to download the new version. I'd like to give them a couple of days to come back to me on the results, then I'll release to the wider user base.
