Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 8, 2019 Hi, that's not normally empty. Is your firewall blocking the software from getting the welcome screen images?

Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 8, 2019 Fair point, not sure. Are you using the Microsoft store release or the Affinity store version?

Its the Affinity store version I think - how would I know ? I actually won this from competition in a magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 8, 2019 Competition winners would be given it directly from Serif. Have you seen images in there before updating to 1.7.0? If this doesn't get resolved here, I will investigate this on Monday when I am back in the office.

Yeah I think I had a link and downloaded it from Serif To be honest when I first installed it there was images there but later I disabled that screen so not sure how long its been blank Thanks for your help - its not important and the update seems excellent so far just a sucker for freebies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 8, 2019 Ok, I don't remember if this feed is optional, but I will bear that in mind. In fact if you're still using 1.6.5 that would explain an empty feed. Have you updated to 1.7.0?
