Hello, I've never received the validation email for my account 'numero12'.
I've tried with different emails but no luck.
Can you help ?

Chill out on the ads. Two ads per page is plenty. I think you're driving visitors away which in the long term will result in the death of your site. Try to keep the content the focus. I think you'd do well to nix the top banner ad on every page. Understanding that this will cost you something, I think it's worth it. You're compromising your design which is sad because IUT is a pretty neat idea.

Cheers, Ed

Hi!
OpenID authentication has stopped working for me (my provider is liquidID.net).
After succesfully using this method for a while, now after logging in i'm asked to connect an IUT account to the openID account, and after that all links lead to an error page. the only solution is logging out, which makes the site be up again ;)

anyone knows what's going on?

thanks!

"MacTeX" is poorly handled by AppFresh and needs some special treatment due to its specific nature.
http://osx.iusethis.com/app/mactex

MacTeX is an installer that :
- installs a "TeX distribution", ie a set of files (bins and others) in the /usr/local/texlive/ directory. (MacTeX additionally installs some freeware apps which are otherwise individually listed as apps in iusethis, so this works ok and hasn't to be dealt with in the problem I am submitting.)

Each version of MacTeX installs a given version of the TeX distribution : eg. MacTeX-2008.mpkg installs the "TeXlive 2008 distribution". So you can't find a "MacTeX.app" with plist file to check the version.

Since AppFresh cannot find such a dir, AppFresh lists "MacTeX" as "In your profile, but not installed on this Mac" and... downloads again the 1.4 GB mpkg, even though MacTeX 2008 is already installed !

Checking new releases of MacTeX by "I use this" is just as important as checking new releases of a usual app. And MacTeX is a unique install in the TeX world, which deserves being advertised in iusethis.

One solution might come from the fact that MacTeX offers a canal through which the system can check whether a TeX distribution has been installed or not. This canal for instance is visualized by the TeXDistPrefPane.
