How Do I Reply to a Post?

The Software Bisque Community Forums allow you to carry on public conversations by posting questions, reading responses, and replying to responses on the forum using a web browser.

Your Software Bisque account can also be configured to automatically send private e-mail messages to you when someone responds to forum posts.  These automated private e-mails are sent from the Software Bisque Forums Administrator e-mail account (phonetically, the email address is ForumAdmin at bisque dot com) and appear in your e-mail reading software (for example, in Microsoft Outlook’s Inbox).

If you receive an automated private e-mail from the Software Bisque Forum Administrator but want to respond publicly to the Software Bisque Forums, a very common mistake is to use your e-mail software to reply to the private e-mail, instead of posting a public response to the forum from your web browser.

To Reply (Publicly):

1. Launch a web brower. Go to www.bisque.com/
2. Find your post on the appropriate support forum.
3. On the Forum page, click the Reply link on the post to which you wish to reply, then type your response (Figure 13).
4. When finished, click the Post graphic.

Your post now appears on the forum, rather than being sent as a private email.

Software Downloads

The most common software questions about downloading software are answered below.

How can I download my software?

After you purchase software from the Software Bisque Store, click My account > My Downloads to download the software’s full installer and update. 

If no update is listed, it means the latest full installer is the latest software release.

Why does my account not show downloads?

First, click My account > My orders to verify that you have successfully purchased software from the Software Bisque Store.

If your account shows you have ordered software, but My account > My downloads shows that no downloads are available, your annual software subscription is most likely expired and must be reactivated to gain access software downloads and updates. 

To do so, click My account > My Subscriptions, then click the View button next to your subscription to view its status. Click the Reactivate or Resubscribe button to renew the annual subscription.
