"The basement's flooded!" "But I thought I turned the faucet off..." "Well, you know what thought did."

Just a little aside on thought.

Just take time out to meditate man, just meditate for a few hours when things go wrong, and when you come back to planet earth all the worries are gone away, cool man every one gota mediate more often, just sit legs folded on top of the computer.

When the IDG Admin/Web Team try that . . . things like PF1 going down tend to happen ;-)

146018 2003-05-21 11:13:00 My 2 cents worth, get rid of whatever software you are using!!!!!!!!!!
I regularly visit a large number of sites with forums and this is by far the worst I use, it's slow, has limited functions and crashes like you wouldn't believe.

146019 2003-05-21 15:41:00 ditch the software.

All its proven is that its limited and likes to crash.

Not something id have residing on any hardware of mine.

146020 2003-05-22 01:40:00 The software is fine. There's just a few wee bugs in it, once they're ironed out which it sounds like they know what the problem is it will be fine. -=JM=- (16)

If you can provide some other software to host a message board on, Id love to see it.

IDG Dont just use some remote server either for it..

The great thing about PF1 is it doesnt just look and act like the rest of the message boards out there! I chance across a lot on my travels, and they're all the same and its BORING!

Im with JM :-)

146023 2003-05-22 02:40:00 There are plenty of Open Source forum software out there. I am familiar with at least two or three of the most popular ones which will run on Windows or Linix based servers.

Re the same look and feel of forums out there - changing the look and feel on the forum is not a problem if you take time to see some of the more sophisticated online game clans' forums. Some are outright work of art.

Take for example the forum run by ICONZ Games ( forums.iconz.co.nz ). I have an account there and when I choose the LCARS template for my personal preference I am presented with a Star Trek style console. That is by far my most favorite template.

The PCWorld forum is pretty buggy. I've lost count the number of times it had errors. I assume it is a commercial forum? I paid nothing for my Open Source forum, took less than one day to set up and never had a programmer error crash. Maybe a server crash once in a while, but the software is 100% dependable.
