  1. If the file is read-only, did you try changing the properties of the file to make it not read-only??

     

    Vista doesn't have a bug with editing files... sounds like a user problem.

  2. Could be several things:

     

    1) Newer hardware

    2) Better driver

    3) compatibility with the router

    4) general computer performance (believe it or not... if your computer is junked up and running a bunch of stuff, it can slow down load times and storage of downloaded files)

     

    There is no magic booster card that would do this.

  3. It depends.  I know a lot of people that break queries out like this:

     

    $query = "SELECT a,b,c
                  FROM tablexyz
                  WHERE x = y
                  ORDER BY w ASC";
    

     

    I put all that on one line unless the query is extremely complicated.  But good coding standards dictate that you typically break logical portions of code into separate lines for readability.

  4. It's just not feasible. Three immediate problems spring to mind:

     

    1.) Who's to decide who is added to this list? If you suggest the staff, then the problems are two fold - firstly, most of the staff here are busy and wouldn't want to have to add to their workload and ,second, they would have a tough time deciding anyway as they'd need to see a lot of evidence to prove that the person hadn't provided what they'd been paid for or hadn't paid etc. If you suggest that anyone could add to this list, then it would just get so messy. No doubt there'd be a fair few counter claims too.

     

    2.) So someone gets added to this list. What do they do after? They'll just create another account, indirectly creating more work for the mods.

     

    3.) The biggest problem of all. If there is a list of people not to trust then, by implication, phpfreaks would be seem to be providing some sort of guarantee for those not on the list. This wouldn't be acceptable.

     

    I have to agree with Ginger here.  The responsibility to deal with a client is purely on the part of the developer.  Things to think about when dealing with clients:

     

    1) Always demand a percentage up front (I always get 40%).

    2) Never deliver until full payment is made (requires a testing ground on your server).

    3) If you do deliver before final payment, make sure you have a way to shut down what you've delivered if final payment isn't made.

     

    The freelance board is at your own risk.  Sorry, but that's the only fair way I know to spin it.

  5. I just wanted to follow up on this thread.  I just started using this to generate some reports for a client and it is fantastic.  I agree that the styling interface could be simplified, but I'll take what I can get.  Very powerful and easy to setup and use.

  6. I tried turning that on once, but then it broke all the existing attachments and avatars so I had to turn it off again. I just checked the attachment directory and files do have plain text names. I guess SMF just isn't that good.

    My guess is that it might be leftovers from the IPB days.  I run several other boards and the files are all stored with a key as part of their name.

  7. I know for a fact that the attachments are stored with a pre-pended key, so I'm not even sure how you got that first error unless you hit submit twice without waiting for the page to respond.  I'm not sure how you got the second error either.  Again, I don't think either of these are SMF errors, or I more than likely would have seen them.
