Chuck, I was able to reproduce a crash on startup exactly as you saw it. If you have configured Windows to start the app MAXIMIZED or MINIMIZED or anything else that will cause a form.resize event to occur before the form.load event occurs the crash happens.

It is actually an easy fix, but impossible for me to say why, with any authority, your OS is resizing the form before it loads.

Next release will have your fix in it.

As for your strange control spacing and alignments your screenshot shows still suggest something else is manipulating the form. Try setting Windows Visual Effect to BEST PERFORMANCE which remove all AERO and or other advanced UI presentation layer trickery.

thx

OK I have found the cause of the UI display problem...I have my text size display set to "medium" (125%) where normal is 100%. I temporarily changed it back to default and the UI displayed correctly.

You are going to have to deal with this. I am old and cannot comfortably read the display at the normal setting. No other programs I have ever used exhibit this behavior.

Ok, I'll study the problem and figure out how to resolve it.
THANKS!!!

I think Scott has this fixed.

How do I get MISFIT to send email to my AOL email address? (I don't know what all this SMTP mumbo-jumbo is).

swl551 · 2013-02-05, 01:37

Version 2.4.1
1. Added ability to fetch DCTF work from GPU72
2. standardized naming convention of the various files written to web_logs
3. Fixed unhandled exception bug if form.resize event fired before classes were initialized in form.load.
4. Fixed form to correctly adjust distance between grid.bottom and statuspanel.top when OS display is set to 125%. Scaling beyond 125% is not addressed since the form won't even fit on my monitor at greater than 125%

The problem is that in order to send mail, one needs an SMTP server to do it. In your case, when you log into your account, you're using AOL's SMTP servers whenever you hit the "send" button.

The configuration that MISFIT asks for should be exactly the same as what Outlook Express or Thunderbird might ask for. So Google "AOL Outlook setup" or something similar and that should help get you started.

Rats. Why can't it just be "Enter email address".

Because if I did that the LaurV would have a reason to be paranoid about MISFIT's inner workings.

If you cannot get it to work with AOL (not tested by me).. It works fine with Gmail and Hotmail so setting up a MISFIT_CHUCK@GMAIL.COM just for MISFIT to send email to your AOL account is totally reasonable.

No I don't want another email account. When I try to set up AOL it says "The specified string is not in the form of an email address" when I send the test message, but I don't know which field it is talking about. Surely someone must know how to configure this....

The server is supposed to be smtp.aol.com and the port is 587
