Hi, were you using IE9? There was a temporary problem which was promptly resolved so please do try again

Many thanks

Sorry about that gsthunder, the login problem is now fixed. It was IE9 only I think.

Text styles - worth the price alone.

Great upgrade!

What does "MX" stand for?

Media Exchange - something magix do - I think

Nope, IE8 and IE8 compatibility mode. I just tried it again and still going on. I click on the fields to enter the info and the text cursor is there for a blink of an eye then gone. You can not type any info in nor paste any in( e-mail field or password field ).

Looks like this enhancement to NavBar Editing was made though.

Didn't work in Firefox as of yesterday either...

I just tried to upgrade to V8 MX to be told the following: (translated via Google Translate from German)

Your access, we unfortunately had to temporarily close due to payment problems.
To clarify this issue, please contact customercare@magix.net

In the top corner was "Fehler - On Blacklist!"

Doesn't inspire confidence, think I'll stick with V7 Pro.

Or am I mistaken?

I'm with pbready ... trying to stay current with WD is starting to encroach on Adobe territory. While a very good program, tapping existing customers approximately fifty USD every time the program's updated is starting to get very, very old ... and very, very expensive. Many of the features being touted as new items should've been in the product to begin with. It feels like Xara is expecting long-time customers to underwrite the growth of their company, when someone who buys now is getting the same product for a hundred bucks that we now have paid multiples of that for. For those of us who've been with this program since the beginning, a much more affordable upgrade path should be in place, if only as reward for being there as long as we have. I can remember Xara touting the affordability of WD when it first came out. That disappears when you tap customers fifty bucks a year to upgrade a program that's been missing key, elemental features since its debut.
