Stardock Forums
Making it impossible to pick anything at the top of the games dropdown, for one, and difficult to change options unless I click on the edge of the button closest to the edge of the application.
Running XP SP2 with .NET framework 3.0SP2.
Open Internet Explorer -> Help -> About
The reason I ask is that I'm having similar issues with Impulse in general with Phase 4, and I was attributing it to the fact that I merely have Internet Explorer 6.0 installed. Why haven't I upgraded? It doesn't yet inconvenience me enough.
I'm able to select games from the list, however it does appear behind the main interface. I also have the same issue with the main menu button found on the top right.
My system is WinXP-64Bit with Internet Explorer 7.
Any reason why we can't attach files on these forums??
I have the same problem after the update. Did not have this before the update, but may still be unrelated to said update.
For screenshots illustrating bugs, I'd suggest using one of the many free image hosting services available and linking the image in a comment/post. You can also embed images in a post that are hosted elsewhere.
Thanks, I saw the image option yet was wondering why is there no option for attaching files on these forums?
What's preventing Stardock from having forums where gamers can provide attachments?
(It's just a feature I find very useful on other gaming forums)
Hosting the files becomes a liability issue so we would have to moderate the attached files. The liability due to a virus distributed compared to an image someone finds offensive is quite vast.

I'm no longer experiencing the issue, I'm guessing one of the updates for Ready to Play resolved the issue for me.
I've created a topic in the Forum Issues section which addresses liability concerns, basically it comes down to researching HOW the other gaming forums are doing it successfully:
Not sure if it's the same issue, but the menu elements get stuck on the top layer of display when RTP has a brain explosion. I'm trying to add someone from a chat, and it fails due to timeout, but while it's trying the drop-down menu stays visible.
Hi,
Thank you for posting the screenshots. We will look into this. Strange indeed.

I just updated readtoplay to the latest version and this bug is fixed for me 
Edit: Hm, no. After changing status (and beeing unable to change it again) the bug is again there.
I have the same issue. And I have self-referent pictures.
A recent patch fixed this problem for me.
This is an interesting issue. It appears to be a Z-Order issue, but we are using WPF which handles the Z-Order for the programmer. Looks like it may be a Microsoft WPF bug on Windows XP.
What video driver are you using?

This issue came back for me with the latest version 0.98[b].230.

Also when I try to launch impulse from the update option in ready to play it gives me an Unhandled Exception.
