Jérémie,

I've always hosted my own sites but my bandwidth couldn't keep up when my sites got popular. I went the shared hosting route at first and was very disappointed, then I went with a VPS and have been very happy.

Maybe what the future holds for Open Source projects is to go the dedicated server route, with enough of us on the server, the cost would not be that high. This way we can control our environment, we can install what we need and we're not at the mercy of some sysadmin that's overloaded.

From the beginning Textdrive was billed as the place for programming projects to make their home and be catered to. Don't worry, said Dean, we know what you're looking for, we're here to cuddle you in our servers.

So what the hell happened, anyone got a clue to the change of direction from the Textdrive crew? Is it time to start looking for alternatives for hosting Open Source projects where the host gives a sh*t?

Affiliate links anyone? http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=12452

Free Realty: http://freerealty.rwcinc.net/ - it's the only one I've heard about.

It lets you list your properties but you'd need something like QuickBooks to handle the money end of it.

Thunderbird updated to 1.5.0.8 today for me also.

Now those Firefox users that didn't download 2.0, will end up getting the 2.0 update message soon.

Hi Andrew,

I spent 10 years in the Tampa area, Brandon to be exact.

As for what to do, 1.2.14 is your best bet, it's solid code. When 1.3 comes out, it would just be a matter of bringing over your design to it. The styles are changing in 1.3, but I don't see it being that hard to move over to it.

Now if you start making mods to the underlying code, then it will be harder to move to 1.3.

At present rather I'm desperate to find a working solution and am looking into taking the present 1.3-dev and forking it.

At present, 1.3-dev is not finished or in a state that would be worth forking.

Wait till 1.3 is released, determine if you can accomplish what you desire between what's in the core and what's released as official extensions. I'll bet you that you'll be pleasantly surprised.

As for PunBB being ugly, I find it elegantly spartan wink

We made a Nucleus CMS to PunBB bridge plugin that does some of the things you'd like to do.

Have a look at the plugin and you can use some of the code for your own purposes.

I've tried "Check for upgrades..." in FF1.5, but still nothing.

I don't think 1.5.0.7 upgrades to 2.0, there's a new upgrade mechanism that's making it's way into 1.5.0.8.

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=476975

It's better to download the new 2.0, remove 1.5.0.7 and then install 2.0.

I hated Netscape and FireFox and looks and reminds me too much of Netscape.

I've always used Netscape, maybe it didn't have the slickest interface but it worked well for it's time.

From the beginning the mail client acted like a mail client should. I always knew what email client a person was using when I would see them quoting me under their reply or the lines went on forever. Outlook was the worst thing to hit the net, bad quoting, no line wraps and html mail.

The browser, well it had it's issues but I liked that all my settings were in one place and I could easily back them up to a zip drive and carry my settings from work to home and back. I even have a Netscape t-shirt I wear proudly, it's a bit worn by now.

If IE7 were the only game in town I'd be using Netscape 4.x wink

The project has recently released 'Suhosin' 0.9.6, the first stable release of their new Advanced PHP protection software, which punBB users who have the ability to modify their Apache/PHP setup might like to check out.

Does anyone use this and can relate their experiences?
