As we all know, SQL has the “negative” aspect that it is possible to read records that are not yet commited (with some transaction type you can avoid this, but this is an other discussion). With the native DB, this is not possible.
Why do I put double quotes around negative? Well, for testing it is a quite interesting feature. Why?

A week ago, we (my wife and me) decided to buy a new desktop. What was to be just buying and re-installing turned out to be quite an adventure (… well not really, but it sounds good …)
First thing I noticed is that even the lowest priced computers are quite powerful! Maybe it looks to me like that because I am used to see server hardware and portables. It costs €233, has 2 GB of memory, dual core Intel 64bit (!) CPU (don’t remember the speed, but for performance this is generally not so imported). For the rest, it has a 160GB SATA drive and a SATA DVD. No floppy! An integrated ethernet card. I lost count of the USB-ports and various other ports on it. But no parallel port for the printer (I still use one that ONLY has a parallel port! Well, ok, I can accept that. After all, we decided to get rid of it anyway when the cartridge will be empty [a new cartridge probably costs more then the printer anyway]). An (Italian) Vista was pre-installed on the desktop.

Here are all the messages that have been send to you. If it happens your PM-box is full, you need to delete some PM’s to make place. This can also be done automatically by a setting (Private messages=>Rules, folders & settings=>Folder options [see later for more info]).

This function is REALLY underused by the forum-members!
What (and when or why) is reporting a post/topic?
).Filed under: Mibuso | Make a Comment »
Someone has responded to your topic and you want to give more information or ask some extra information on the topic.
So, go to the topic and then click the “postreply” button (not the newtopic! This will create a completely new topic).
For the rest, this is less- or more the same as for creating a new topic. Also here it is possible to attach pictures.
After the reply-part, there is the attachment part and after that there is the complete history of the topic.

This has completely changed! The RSS-MOD we found has a lot of possibilities.
Actually, it has so many options I had some problems too. After studying them, I advised Luc to remove some of them and to make some options standard.
First thing: It makes a difference if you are logged in or not when opening this page! If you are logged in, you can also see the protected forums (like the 2 protected Romanian forums). Of course ONLY if your user account has access to it!
Where to find the RSS-page? Well you can access it from anywhere (RSS Feed):

After you searched the forum and didn’t find your problem (and solution), you decided to write a post. But first you needed to create a login and do some setup.
After all that, finally you can make a new topic.
First problem: in which forum? Well read the forum-descriptions and it will be clear where to write it.
Second (and probably biggest problem): a good title!
Remember a good title describes your problem and gives other uses directly an idea what the topic is about.

This one is new and quite interesting. What are friends for? Well, in general you want to keep them close! How? I think it is easier to explain it with an example.
If for example you send a lot of PM’s to a certain person, in the new version you always needed to type in his/her name or search it in the list. If you define the person as a friend, you don’t need to do it anymore. You can just click on the add-button near the name and it will be added as the person to send a PM to (later more on PM’s). You also see if they are online or not. If the person wants his online status to be hidden, you won’t see him as online.

Until now, Luc did change some things in the forum software to simulate groups (Administrators, Moderators, MVP, Site Supporters).
Now this is integrated in the forum-software.
All users, once they confirmed the registration, are placed into “Registered users”. In some you can apply to join and if you meet the conditions, you are admitted. This is all done by the administrator.
You have this menu if you are leader of a group. For the moment only the administrator can do this.
