@hcgtv: Wordpress is only used for the blog. The other sections are custom PHP. I was actually planning to use django for the entire site eventually if the site goes well, but I used PHP initially to get the site running and to have control over the backend myself.

Oh, I see - Wordpress is just really easy to get up and going - gotcha.

Hey, I wasn't knocking Wordpress, far be it from me to criticize another free and open software project. I just happen to use Textpattern, so when I see a web designer using a competitive product, the marketing voice in me asks why.

I downloaded Tripoli, I'll have a look at it.

I will of course credit flux if I continue to use it on the site! But probably in the global footer since I credit other components there (jquery, tripoli etc).

Hi David,

Parts of your site are powered by Wordpress also. Since you are a designer by trade, can I ask you why you chose Wordpress for the site? Don't want to sidetrack this thread but I just wonder sometimes.

Thanks.

For 1.4 it might be worthwhile to look at replacing our dblayer with a third party library, but not before then.

I've yet to see a dblayer from a third party that doesn't add a lot of bloat. There is an ADOdb lite, but even it weighs in at twice what FluxBB contains.

That is a good price, thanks.

Just incase you were going to get a server with them, the reviews on WHT pretty much explain why they are so cheap tongue

That was my next stop, the WHT forums to read the reviews.

On the search page, specifically doing a New posts search, my eyes have to pay attention to where I have to click when there are page numbers mixed in.

Legal? [New posts] by Scripter
Official Extensions [ 1 2 New posts] by Connor
Supporting FluxBB [ New posts ] by Connor

Not saying the new way is wrong, I guess I'm used to the old way, where New Posts was in it's own brackets. Any way to distinguish it from the page numbers?

Its full of PHP mixed with HTML mixed with SQL. There is no concept of tier separation, hell its not even object oriented.

Steve,

You have to remove the www. from the above linked URL, or else the board doesn't think you're signed on, even though as soon as you click an internal link, you're on.

It seems a little expensive, yup. For slightly less, I have a Celeron 220, 1Gb, 250Gb, 100Mb unmetered.

For a VPS, it's not expensive, compared to other VPS plans.

Where is that Celeron config?

I see that when a bug is fixed in SVN, this board reflects the change rather quickly.

How often is this board synced with SVN?

When does that happen, when I refresh the site or at a certain interval?

Is there a timeout when New posts fall off the screen, that is if you hang out here enough minutes?

Can we have a contest to come up with a new board description?

Didn't know where to post this, a bug or request, anyway.

Topic subject: doesn't appear in Preview post.

Place it in lieu of: This is how your post will appear once submitted. ?

With the speed of the messages coming in, and the new posts functionality, things are popping.

It would be nice to be able to toggle quick post on/off per user, cause I'd like it off now smile
