And I know my site could do with some work too! ;-) I discovered your WUD site through a link from lunarsoft.net (yet another site that could do with some work!), and I love the idea, but until I found this page through a Google, I was very dubious about it's legitimacy. So, I thought I'd take the time to list a few improvements that you might want to consider: - You mention that you use the MSFN forum, and you link to them, but don't say what your name is, or link to your profile, or link to a MSFN search for WUD - You don't link to this (or any other) site that would start to give your program credibility and gravitas - Contact Us/Bug Reporting/Forum etc. - EULA - I assume the WMP11 refers to Windows Media Player, but I have no idea how this would work, and you don't give any clues - I'm sure there are lots of people who would be happy to collaborate with list-creation... however, it suprises me that this isn't an automatic process, or that the software doesn't just create its lists on-the-fly. Ironically, this page was the only thing that stopped me simply closing the site: I figured a malicious site would list more products, and auto-insert dates from the last week or two. All of these (or the lack, thereof), results in a very dodgy feel - I was expecting lots of malware warnings from my Google. I hope all this is useful - let me know if there's anything I can do to help out. Davii I’m not trying to teach my grandmother, so please forgive me if it sounds a bit like I am!

I discovered your WUD site through a link from lunarsoft.net (yet another site that could do with some work!), and I love the idea, but until I found this page through a Google, I was very dubious about it’s legitimacy. So, I thought I’d take the time to list a few improvements that you might want to consider:

- You mention that you use the MSFN forum, and you link to them, but don’t say what your name is, or link to your profile, or link to a MSFN search for WUD
- You don’t link to this (or any other) site that would start to give your program credibility and gravitas
- Contact Us/Bug Reporting/Forum etc.
- EULA
- I assume the WMP11 refers to Windows Media Player, but I have no idea how this would work, and you don’t give any clues
- I’m sure there are lots of people who would be happy to collaborate with list-creation… however, it suprises me that this isn’t an automatic process, or that the software doesn’t just create its lists on-the-fly. Ironically, this page was the only thing that stopped me simply closing the site: I figured a malicious site would list more products, and auto-insert dates from the last week or two.

All of these (or the lack, thereof), results in a very dodgy feel – I was expecting lots of malware warnings from my Google.

I hope all this is useful – let me know if there’s anything I can do to help out.
