    well, I didn't see that tweaks page

    But, maybe for less technical users an option would be easier

    (and also you have to log in to access the tweaks page)

    Yes, the wiki is just for registered forum users currently
    (I want to update the bridge to automatically recognize if a user is already logged in on the forum, but that'll take some time I don't have while preparing 1.6)

    Adding options for less technical users is a two-sided sword.
    How "important" is that option really? By adding too many options to the settings screen, less technical users might get overburdened just by their number. So the question would be if the additional comfort is worth the additional "confusion" (granted, "just one item", but there are some many "just one items") in general.
    So, to be honest, the next release will have a few old outdated settings removed even (toggling the look in terms of header vs. no header on each page for example, as well as the auto-download parameter that does no longer make sense now that the updater is purely external and dealt with otherwise).

    Scan times for beta1:

    Win XP Home, SP3 64-bit w/ an Athlon 64 Processor 3800+, 446MB of RAM):
    v.1.6.0.25 - 3'

    Compaq Presario, Win XP Pro SP3, 32-bit AMD Athlon Processor 1.3GHz, 1 GB RAM
    v.1.6.0.25 - 5'

    Scan times for beta2:

    Compaq Presario, Win XP Pro SP3, 32-bit AMD Athlon Processor 1.3GHz, 1 GB RAM - 7'09"

    Win XP Home, SP3 64-bit w/ an Athlon 64 Processor 3800+, 2G B of RAM - 4'20"

    So appparently, beta2 is slower than beta1 - I don't use hosts file checking on either - and remember, I quadrupled the RAM between the first and second beta runs on my wifes' computer.

    Are forum logins supposed to work for that page? because mine isn't.

    @Broken hope: I can access with my forum user to the wiki page. The page ask me for the user again, but I fill the fields and I access to this page.

    @PepiMK: Thanks for the information.
    This beta version is better than 1.5.2. It's faster, solve the "usage tracks" (the 1.5.2 version doesnt fix the "usage tracks" in my PC) and also solve my update problems with the proxy-cache.

    Thanks again

    Heh I just get "Login error: There is no user by the name "Broken Hope". Check your spelling." When I try to log into the wiki.

    I don't know why you don't access. Maybe there's a problem with the "space".
    But it's a supossition.

    I'm sorry.

    can you add the pause button when running a scan in 1.6.26 like in 1.6.25 ?

    Might be that spaces are not Wiki-compliant... I'll have to check if they can be auto-converted (for the login only of course) into underscores as Mediawiki usually has...

    @nas66: the pause button was not removed, it's still there, only if you've enabled "expert buttons on results page" or something like that in the settings
