More frequent updates would maybe be nice, but spending what little time he has on writing posts updating everyone of progress, rather than actually making progress, probably isn't the best idea.

I couldn't agree with you more, at the place where i work in sweden we have 2 days a week which are dedicated to answering phonecalls, and most of those phonecalls are made cause people are wondering why we haven't had time to start working with their case yet.

The markup is essentially finished, in fact it was finished a couple of weeks ago. I just haven't found time finish the stylesheet and do my final checking before committing. If I don't find time to finish it this week I will commit the markup next weekend and just tweak it after its committed.

So if one is planning on making his/her own custom style then we can start working on that once you have made your commit? or vill the tweaks break a custom style?

in any case, good news!

well how about making an extension that will reduce the postcount by 1 when the delete-post link is pressed? this way the deleted posts are not counted while at the same time archived posts are still counted since they haven't been deleted by manually pressing the delete-post link.

does this make any sence to you guys?

first off the only favicon topic i know of here on the fluxbb forums is the topic about creating a favicon for THIS site.

and then about making a whole template for a website it's kind of lame to just pop in on a forum like this one and put out a question like that.
since you seem to be running a wow guild i'm sure you have some tech savvy geeks in the guild who could create a template that would be much more personal than anything a stranger would make for you. and if you got money to pay for creating the site then you might as well get a professional webdeveloper to do it for you, which in any case would be better than asking like this on a forum.

now with that said i still don't think it is wrong to ask here, but you might get better results from following the advice above. there might be someone willing to help out a random guy like you, but by asking here the chances you will either get a crappy template whipped up in a few minutes or a template that doesn't really fit with your guild are pretty high.

anyway, good luck...

orca is a complete trash, i tried it my self, man it looked soo promising after nice display of Ajax but when you go inside, man. no profiles, no banning, no admin area, no moderating, no moving topics posts, no display of all the forums in one page, you need to open categories etc, no nothing. completely Dead, no updates since ages.

because of that forum i lost more then 2000 good posts and topics.

christ - glad i didn't use it then
hard to believe the orca forum is open source when it lacks so many features and basic functions a forum should have
my biggest problem was that a user couldn't set their own password or retrieve lost passwords

well, welcome to fluxbb, if that is all you looked for to begin with and don't mind waiting for the css to be finished then i think you'll be happy with 1.3, it has many cool features you'll like i think. besides, once beta3 is out we will have a lot of people working on themes, extensions and translations so give it a few months and you'll have pretty much everything you need. hopefully!

thats the chinese letter for "china" right? exactly why would fluxbb want to use that as its symbol?

don't get me wrong, i like it too, although it's not suitable for the purpose...

Yes, you are right. And I'm sure you are an old China hand. ~~ wink

I don't really know much about the chinese language, but Mahjong is a nice game. wink

EDIT: btw, I meant playing Mahjong the real way with 4 people around a table against each other, not the singleplayer solitaire-like videogame.

Find me interfaces in PHP4, and sure. I can try doing it another way, but I doubt it'll be that easy to do.

If you write the code for PHP5, I can write a PHP4 compatible version. tongue
Interfaces don't exist in PHP4, but you can fake it. You just need to have an interface class for PHP5 and a fake interface class (a class with the proper methods defined but that simply calls die) for PHP4. Obviously not the same as a real interface, but it should be close enough to allow the code to run on PHP4.

thats smart!  (no pun intended)   smile

this one is very nice in my opinion, it goes well with the current fluxbb theme and would be easy to convert into different colors for new themes being made later.

it also got a very clean look which goes well with how fluxbb is built.

Well, having good laws protection the individual and the citizen against abuse by corporations and governments, it's always a good thing. No need to expatriate yourself, your users or your servers for that.

Yes, an extension to purge old non used personal data would be a good thing. But it's not something for the core, since every jurisdiction would have a different set of laws, uses, habits, etc.

agreed

Well, I'd still like to know what relevance benm's logos have to FluxBB, apart from the huge X which can be using to identify 50% of the internet these days.

only 50%? I would say over 95%, since more than 90% of the internet consists of pr0n and tripleX websites .

so what if a french admin got his server in south africa?

at least in sweden the law can only be applied if the server is located in sweden, so if i had my server anywhere else i could upload almost anything i would like.

back on topic, i think a delete request extension as paul suggested would be very useful sometimes. specialy if there is an alert message for admins saying "you have (insert number here) new account removal requests". and a panel where the admin only need to accept or deny the request along with a checkbox where he can choose to delete all posts along with the user.
