    Just a recommendation... state your OS !

    FIRST... Love the program, no matter what it may do or don't.
    Would like to suggest or recommend to users, especially those whom post problems... to specifically state or document with such, what OS they are using, along with computer type/model. Reason being: each computer has it's own quirks and limitations, especially those which are proprietary to themselves (brand & configurations). And Second.. The OS does sometimes make a difference in how some programs will work or function, especially when running along side other software which may utilize memory or functions of the same. I've found that often little quirks or differences arise when using Irfanview on XP as compared to using on Win 8.1
    Stating such with the problem may assist the programmers/owner to adjust or fix problems annotated.
    Best Regards!

    People are supposed to add such details to their User Profile.

      @Bhikkhu: the problem is, that the displayed profile data is always updated, so if you look at a problem reported in 2012 a verion may be display which haven't exist at this date.
      So the DUKE is right, if someone state a problem it is still helpful to state OS version, Service Pack, Irfan View version etc.

        If someone asked a question in 2012, and someone posts a reply to it now, it's a bit late to give an answer.

        Usually they are asking the same or a related question, then their profile will use their current version, not the OP's.

        In nearly all cases, the user's profile will show what they are using when they ask a question. Of course, if they have used a different PC then it would be helpful to add their OS and IV version.

        Updating your profile once every six months when a new version comes is simple. I am not going to make this a sticky thread to remind people to post their OS and IV version number. There is no need to. They should add that information to their profile as it says in the sticky thread:
