I have a problem with Usenapp. All new postings are scattered through the list of other postings and I would like them displayed at the top of the screen. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thank you, petefj. -- The address shown on this posting is false. If you need to contact me then wirte to: peterATpfjamesDOTcoDOTuk

Not too sure what you mean, but I will say that Usenapp -- is definitely "a learning experience", which with no user guide and all. There are two windows which display threads. The upper window has the thread in one order (what is it?); the lower displays the thread in its left hand column (which _may_ be chronological). I use the lower, because simply pressing the space bar cycles through the responses in (what I take to be) chronoloical order; you have to select a response in that column to move the focus. If a response is longer than the depth of that lower window Usenapp shows you the rest of the response before it moves on to the next response: nifty, I thought, when I discovered this. Usenapp. for me, is a little bit like one of those great little adventure games we used to get in the days of System 9. J.

As a security-conscious Mac user, I would like a safe and intelligent
way to analyze macOS software (such as .app bundles and .dmg files)
without needing to install or run them. While I understand that ChatGPT
itself cannot execute software for safety reasons, it /could/ provide
enormous value by offering:
Passive static analysis of app bundles
Inspection of code-signing and notarisation status
Warnings about suspicious patterns (e.g., launch agents, silent
background activity, obfuscated components)
Interpretation of embedded strings, certificates, and potential
network behaviour
This would be especially helpful for proprietary tools where the
developer is unknown or not transparent. For instance, I have strong
doubts about a macOS tool called EtreCheck, which installs deeply into
the system and collects diagnostic data. Despite it being notarised by
Apple, the developer (who goes by a pseudonym) has ignored repeated
support inquiries. This lack of accountability — combined with
notarisation being no guarantee of ethics or privacy — highlights the
need for independent, AI-assisted evaluation tools.
Similarly,nobody has ever confirmed that Usenapp has been checked.
The developer is an unknown quantity with no on-line presence!
Ideally, ChatGPT could either integrate with services like VirusTotal or
guide users through safe inspection methods. Even helping users run
passive Terminal checks (e.g., codesign, spctl, strings) and
interpreting those results intelligently would be a great first step.
I believe many responsible users would appreciate the ability to assess
macOS apps more critically and safely — without blind trust or risk.

I raised legitimate concerns about an app that’s distributed outside the App Store, with no visible developer identity and no clear accountability. That’s not “paranoia” — it’s due diligence, especially for those of us who care about Mac security. If you disagree, you're welcome to present a reasoned counterpoint. But resorting to personal abuse and name-calling says far more about your approach than it does about mine. David B.

Listen, you flaming turd. One can't "defame" someone who is already infamous.

If this was the first time you had "raised legitmate concerns", you might have
a point. But you have been barking about this for 10 YEARS now. ALL of your
insane questions have been answered. Multiple times, by multiple people.
That you continue to ignore the answers and continue to bark about this is the
very definition of stalking, harassment, libel, and slander.

Nice try. But there is no such thing as "reasoning" with you. WHICH IS WHY YOU
ARE BANNED FROM EVERY MODERATED APPLE SUPPORT FORUM ON THE PLANET.
Not to mention that you have been banned multiple times. You keep on coming
back with a new name, making the same old allegations and continue to
stalk/harrass/libel/slander innocent people.
And YOU are doing your stalking, harassment, libel, and slander publicly.
You come in here and post links to 3/5/8 year old forum messages where you
"raised legitmate concerns" for the 100th time about EtreCheck and ask for
comments here. You BEG strangers to sign up to the forum in question and ask
questions on your behalf.
Does it EVER occur to you that MAYBE you are wrong? Does it EVER occur to you
that if you stopped stalking/harrassing/libeling/slandering innocent people
that you MIGHT be allowed back onto moderated Apple support forums? Because
they have no choice but to ban you. Otherwise they could be accused of the
stalking/harrassing/libeling/slandering of innocent people just by leaving
your posts visible and allowing you to CONTINUE to stalk/harrass/libel/slander
innocent people.

Tyrone,
Your post is a torrent of personal abuse, wild accusations, and
unsubstantiated claims. If you believe this sort of behaviour
constitutes "helping people," then I fear for the tone of discourse in
this group.
Let me clarify a few points:
Asking security-related questions is not stalking.
Raising concerns about a non-App-Store macOS app with no visible
developer ID and no reliable support mechanism is entirely legitimate.
Especially in an age where trust in software must be earned, not demanded.
Repetition does not equate to harassment.
If an app's developer continually avoids accountability, or
disappears without answering user concerns—especially after taking
payment—users will ask questions. Ten years of avoidance doesn't negate
the validity of those questions; it strengthens them.
Personal attacks are not a substitute for arguments.
Resorting to name-calling ("flaming turd," really?) and shouting
about supposed bans does not prove anything. In fact, it suggests you
have no substantive counterargument and are instead relying on invective
to silence dissent.
If you genuinely cared about "helping people," you'd engage
respectfully, share knowledge, and foster discussion—not shout down
those who dare to question. Ironically, your unhinged response does far
more to raise red flags about the app in question than anything I might
post.
Your abuse is noted.

I would hope so. I have the idiot and all that reply to him killfiled and only see some of his drivel when someone replies to one of the trollfeeders. Unfortunately some people just can´t resist to feed the troll :-(

Sort by date. Scroll right on the topics until you see the date. Then click on the "Date" at the top of the column. You can sort by any column. Sorting by date puts the newest at the top.

Also it seems you need to ensure that View -> Threads -> Ungrouped is selected before that works. Having done that it certainly works for me. Thanks :) -- Cheers, Alan

Thanks :) Sounds like that's the answer - by date + ungrouped (that's confudled me in the past with Usenapp and other newsreaders). Clicking the left square bracket + right pointing arrow on the left of the lower menu bar will also colapse that lower left hand window if you want a slightly cleaner look.
