Me again. Still using DF and still loving it. (The new "move window to next monitor" button is ... excellent!)

One problem, though: I have a laptop with an external monitor attached. I have chosen a different image for each monitor. Every time I turn on the computer (or restart it), both images are displayed on both screens. To correct it, I simply have to open DF to the Desktop Wallpaper config page and click "OK". But that's annoying, of course.

Is this happening to anyone else?

(BTW, on a different note: the OpenID function for this Support Forum doesn't work. And the search mechanism is WEAK.

Grade For Support Forum's Registration Process: F
Grade For Support Forum, in general (so far): D

My 0.02 ... )

And what do you mean the support forum is bad in general? is that from the search? I would like to think me and the others do a good job of quickly answering questions...

a. Response Times are Off-The-Charts Good. Almost unbelievable.
b. This forum software is not the most user-friendly. I'm a software developer like you guys, and I've spent enough time dealing with user issues to know that the UI needs some work.

A. I try, I try.

B. I personally never use the forum search, as well... I don't need it. So thank you for reporting any issues with it, and I will just restate Jon's question, what can be done?

O yea, before we all forget, was your original problem fixed with the extra options?

I have always felt the forum UI needed an overhaul, but someone else is much better suited to listing down issues.

The problem is "fixed" -- in the end, the images I've chosen for each monitor *do* show up on each monitor. (BUT, when I first boot, the same image appears on both monitors; then a few seconds later, the image on the secondary monitor changes to the one I chose. Weird.)

My confusion over the forum UI started with the fact that I was put into a "forum" -- I was expecting to find a support PAGE, with options like an FAQ, and a "Contact Us" page and things like that. So, that's on me.

Then, when I did land in the Forum, I was faced with Unread Posts and New Replies and News and ... it was a bit much. My first reaction was: WTF?! What IS all this ... stuff?

Then, I had to think: do I have to register to search and / or submit a question? How do I register? (you already have my note about THAT item!) While it shouldn't be problematic to have to "think", it was ... distracting. I came to the site to (hopefully) solve a problem, and was presented with more questions. Distracting.

So, all of the pieces of the forum probably work quite well. But, it isn't exactly intuitive how / what to do on first visit.

Better?

Spoke Too Soon Department: Apparently, I hadn't done a complete restart when I thought the problem was fixed -- just come back from Hibernation. When I restarted my laptop, both images are appearing on both screens again. When I open the Desktop Wallpaper page and click OK, all is well. Ideas?

All good -- the pictures are restoring on startup as expected. Have a great week!
