phpbb who?  :>)

hehehe!!  ROTFLOL

Did I say I love my Maclies?  :>)

Hey Gizzmo,

Do some research on some good Code Generators.  I have tried many, but Codemaker 0.4 and CodeGenie come to mind.  I use them all the time to build up utilitarian apps all the time that I use for our website.  Codemaker is nice because it separates the codebase from the design, and builds the style sheets for you, as well as the code.

FYI; what most of these Generators do is pull data from an existing database.  So, in this case, your schema already needs to be built in advance.  In addition to what Frank as already mentioned, take care in how you want your sql schemas to be set up and work.  While sitting down and sorting out exactly what you want your app to do, understanding and getting your schema right is just as important as the design itself.

Codemaker is pretty cool.  You point it to the database you want to build your app from, and then fill in the blanks, telling it what kind of fields you want each table to be.  When you hit the generate button, wha'la! - Instant app, and it places all this in a "out" directory for you.  Again, it won't build a high powered app for you, but at least would get you started, even if buidling up smaller chunks of your app, and then put them all together as one.

Just a thought.  :>)

Hey Paul,

yes, this did the trick!  thanks!

I also email you directly.  Please let me know if that is a good address to correspond.  I sent you two, both addressing two completely different issues.

Thanks so much

Hi Folks,

Great Job Rickard!  Also, I need to shower praises on Paul too.  :>)

My install went without a hitch, however if I had something to fuss about for an early beta release, I would say the text is too small for my old eyes to read it.  Actually, it's really *too* small to really see anything.

Internet Exploder 5.1 on Mac OS 9

The same is not so bad for IE on OSX.  Text is somewhat larger.  Under Firefox, the text size looks ok.

[Note: For those of you who are using OSX, please don't tell me to 'update'.  I already have three machines running OSX now.  :>)]

On the other hand, I do feel this should be remedied in subsequent updates to PunBb, only because there will be a lot of folks who are still running OS 9 - and therefore using IE 5.1 as their browser.  I would be willing to give up encreased point size in subsequent browers to accommodate this.

I recognize users could simply change the point size after they install, however this is a large departure from earlier versions of PunBB, so in that case this would be hard to sell new users.

Otherwise, I am tickled to death.  This is *very* kewl - not overlooking all the other details, the new plugin feature is worth the price of admission. :>)

Just my two cents worth.  :>)  Kudos!!

Sitting on the dunce seat [in back] :>)

drooool

These things can *definitely* increase your giggle factor. :>)

That could be a good reason.  Chances are, the Mac's at school weren't very great Macs to begin with, aside from the fact they choke them down - preventing students to do much. [other than protocol]

Really? What model Mac?

Ahh ... there ya go!  The Macintosh OS is very easy to understand and use.  Don't discount, or take one's word at "not enough software is available for Macs" - which is pure hogwash and garbage.  There are tons of *very* kewl software apps available for the Mac; and that was when Macs were running OS 9.  Today, the latest OS is OSX.

OSX is a totally different animal, based on a Unix foundation running the Mack Kernal.  There has been much discussion about the Development Tools that come with the Mac [or when you purchase the OS software separately or buy a Mac].  I won't go into what is good or bad about software updates, etc, only to say Xcode Rocks.  Applescript Studio allows you to build complete apps using Xcode, repleat with fabulous GUI's and it's free.  Windows can't even come close to this, at least not currently.

In summation, please don't discount Mac's based on your 'school' experience.  Find a good bud who uses a Mac and he/she will not only show you how it's a killer OS/machine - but why.  :>)

Just my two cents, but I feel that guest should *never* be allowed to send email unless they register.

Personally, I *really* like the internal email system punbb provides, and if left up to me, I would hide/mask all the other options in my install so the only way to send email is through the system, thus, not exposing any email addresses at all, unless of course the user sends email, which then would expose it.  I recognize there may be problems for some folks to do it this way, but to me that would 'fix' the spam harvesting issues altogether.

In regard to the spam harvestors and profiles - what they are doing is grabing the profile page, linking to that, then using it to spam back so they can harvest.  The way around this is to place a robots.txt file in the root where pun is, so the robots can't index it.

hehe ...I thot that would wring a reply.  :>)

In taste, I did suface with "Everything Free for a Nominal Fee" <wink>

In all seriousness ... if you included the price of any system, plus the OS, plus other development tools of the same caliber, you would spend a lot of $$ to accomplish the same.  Xcode just rocks.  You can even use Applescript to build complete apps too.

btw #2: Did I say Apple has the best development tools around?

Not only that, they are FREE - they come with each Mac you purchase, or software update you purchase.

I know, I know, everything is free for a nominal fee ... but when you consider Apple throwing in the dev tools for free ... that is worth something these days when you consider serious programming.
