Windows 8 - no support for Plusnet Assist

Hi guys, I've just upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 & I realise that Plusnet Assist isn't supported. Any news on when it will be upgraded?

There's not at the moment I'm afraid, when/if we know we'll update you.

It was just a passing query. I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 yesterday & noticed that it wasn't supported. I used the icon on my taskbar as a short cut to my account. I won't bother to look for an "Ap" for a while either!

It'd be best just to create your own shortcut to your account and put it on the Desktop or in the Quick Launch toolbar if you've activated it

I don't know how to do that, I just keep it in my favourites.

To setup a shortcut on your desktop :
1. Right click anywhere on the desktop.
2. Choose NEW then SHORTCUT.
3. Input the web address you want into the "Type location of the item" box. (e.g. https://portal.plus.net/view_my_broadband_usage/index.php)
4. Click Next.
5. Type in the name you want to call the shortcut.
6. Click done.
Finished, you should now have a shortcut on your desktop.

Thanks mate, that's a cracker.
