      Really sucks that notepad mix politics and software development.
      A software is not a medium to push your political agenda/opinion.

        The ones who cry about ads are just that - crybabies.
        Plugin manager was awesome. Right now we have useless and ugly plugin admin. Pathetic!

          Notepad++ is a free application and its owners are free to do whatever they want.
          If they want to do ads they can and should do so to cover their expenses since its users are poor and ungrateful folks who can’t even donate adequately.

          If Notepad++ authors want to express their political views, they have full rights to do so as well and it’s a good and brave thing to do.

          If you don’t get involved in politics, you are responsible for the consequences of your inaction.

            Plugin manager was awesome.

            Right. There is no doubt that the old plugin manager was awesome.

            Right now we have useless and ugly plugin admin. Pathetic!

            It is true that, right now plugin admin is ugly and pathetic. But it is not useless. Day by day it is becoming better and over the period of time, it will also be awesome.

            So instead of saying ugly and pathetic in one go, reporting concerns or suggestions if any will be very helpful for the community.

              @AgelessDick Maybe they have the right to be politically engaged,
              But this does not mean they have to express it, when programming Notepad++

                I’m a single male developer, so I was really excited by the last item on this page: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/contribute/

                Nowhere to be found in the shops…

                      now that @John-Landheer apparently just signed up to ask for this, it’s probably reason enough to start a petition:

                      let’s vote to bring back the notepad++ thong !!! 😂😂😂

                          I just want to say “F*CK to Notepad++” for its complex macros and shortcut/ menu defining methods.

                              … i’m still uncertain, whether you meant what you said and posted it at the wrong place, or you were trying to be sarcastic and deliberately posted it in here …
                              let’s hope for the first option ;-)

                                This is the stupidest conversation I’ve ever seen. Why this topic???

                                  Why this topic???

                                  i think because some people need to complain about something (anything) from time to time.
                                  i personally also prefer it to be separated from real user requests, and almost everyone seems to respect that so far, and choose this dedicated space to speak freely.

                                  it probably doesn’t always mean, that they want to complain about notepad++ itself, but some might be tempted to use this platform as a kind of valve for their current emotions.

                                    I second @andrecool-68 .

                                    The pointless category ever.
                                    Let’s at least call it “The Chat Room” where anyone can say anything without really trying/hoping to really change anything.

                                    Stopping the production of Notepad++ thongs is what I actually call “Notepad++ boycotting”

                                      my conspiracy theory is, that production of the notepad++ thongs was stopped to save marriages.
                                      i can imagine how many wifes must have filed for a divorce, after seeing their husbands wearing that thong … and now that i wrote that, i sincerely hope that i will get that picture out of my head again 😂😂😂

                                        Oh yes, and in addition to the LW leaning, I just found one more reason - I took the time to write out a clear question regarding my CSS file not updating, and I mentioned that Windows told me to contact my coding app for an answer (ie, Notepad++). And I get a response saying that there was nothing Notepad related in my posting, so it’s off topic. Awesome. So maybe you have to actually WRITE the word Notepad? That is one crazy lizard.

                                          Perhaps in the other thread I should have pointed you to this: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15958/faq-desk-you-ve-asked-your-question-in-the-wrong-place

                                          But in my defense, I couldn’t because I just now noticed it in the FAQ section.

                                          The reason your question was off-topic was because you were “baking cookies”.
