        … 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 ;-)

            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”.

                        I Hope offical home website do not use the flag represents the country

                        I think it is not friendly for people.

                        And i suggest to edit all Chinese -> Traditional Chinese(Taiwan).
                        Chinese Simplified -> Simplified Chinese(PRC).

                        like this:
                        Imgur

                        If you are free,i hope too the home website to add Simplified Chinese Introduction and use zh-cn or zh-tw to represents Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese in offical home website.

                        Thanks!

                              So this latest 7.7 version seems to be “Gay marriage support edition”.
                              I’m fine with the issue, but does it need to be advertised in the actual software? How about restricting it to just to website?
                              I think I’ll find some other text editor that doesn’t virtue signal into my face.

                                notepad++ is made by humans for humans, and not a corporate product.

                                if any author wishes to say what’s on his/her mind, it is very welcome that they do so, as it prevents notepad++ from becoming a sterile piece of software, where no-one can identify himself/herself anymore.

                                ps: if you feel agitated by the subtile rainbow chameleon at the “about notepad++” window, please don’t open it.

                                many thanks and best regards.

                                  I didn’t know identifying himself/herself/zieself was a thing with a piece of software, nor that it prevents it becoming sterile (dunno what that means really and what’s the value in it).
                                  But sure, author is totally free to use his/her/zir software as a soap box for political messaging.
                                  I like my tools to be non-political, so I’ll look elsewhere. PSPad seems pretty nice.

                                    Without meaning to offend anybody I second that.

                                    It seem to me that proclamation and propaganda in Notepad++ itself is something that contradicts with its “Advertisement free” policy.

                                      Personally, it doesn’t matter to me who belongs to “lgbt” … more important is the functionality and reliability of notepad ++

                                        Agreed. The author I guess is free to be a “supreme being” as far as his software goes, and define what is “advertising”, even if that definition is hypocritical.

                                          don’t panic.

                                          this is neither advertising, nor does it mean that any of us is gay, lesbian, nerdy, straight, or a vogon from another galaxy.
                                          it’s just a kudos for everyone that stands up against any kind of suppression.

                                            There are many sins of pleasing the body. Love is in thought.
                                            If you make the program free, then make it free, pure good. If you want to support your ideas as a program fee, then I’ll rather pay than support things that disgust me. The program fee becomes more expensive than the money option. Or rather completely incompatible with the ability to use. When you meet people you talk on topics that are interesting to everyone, the program helps and any person on the planet will say this, so leave it pure good. No need to add that you like to drink or smoke and impose your lifestyle. Do not you see that these are personal acts and they will not always be pleasant to others. It is better to boast that you donated money to children without parents.
