You should bring back the blue line on the very top. I liked it. I still don't like your background though. Try to see colourlovers.com for some color schemes.

In order to make it easy you'd probably have to work on the install script to make the user able to enter various values in there instead of having to edit files. That doesn't make any sense. Why waste your time deliberately write it poorly first and then make it better? Why not just make it better from the start?

The background is really annoying to look at. It actually sort of hurts the eyes. I'm not too fond of that green color either. It's too bright in my opinion. I'd probably also make the sidebar text smaller and give it a slightly larger leading. Otherwise it looks okay. Oh yeah finally, if you don't like the picture then take another one or don't put the existing up in the first place...

Seeing as you've decided to use short tags that means it'll not run on many systems. Short tags is disabled by default on PHP5+. Seeing as I couldn't run it (I didn't bother to turn short tags on) I've decided to comment on your code. To be honest, it's really bad. All your pages are essentially one big mess of conditionals (if this do that, otherwise to this, but if something is like this you should do that instead). Just look at your index.php, it's one giant mess of code. The HTML is all mixed up with the PHP code as well. I'm wondering how you are going to implement those "templates" that your directory structure suggests will come at a later point. As it is right now that will be completely impossible. You use deprecated superglobals like $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS. Your way of doing error handling is also horrible. Simply calling die() is not error handling. It gets even worse when you start actually printing verbose information to the screen regarding the errors. That is really bad as it will potentially aid attackers in compromising the application (see the tutorial PHP Security). Then there are things like $postselect3. Do you have a constant called post? No, so don't use a constant called that. Yes, it works and I know you don't care about such stuff as long as it works (which you've previously stated), but if you set the error reporting to E_ALL then you'll see it actually results in an E_NOTICE. You need to use quotation marks around strings. I'm sorry to say it but the code is absolutely horrendous. It's poorly designed, you use deprecated stuff, you have errors, you use short tags, you have security flaws, it doesn't scale, and it will be incredibly difficult to maintain. I'd say it's back to the drawing board... Oh yeah, you should code it to be W3C compliant from the start. It'll be a pain in the ass to have to go back and make it all compliant. Especially considering how your code is structured.

I thought Flash files were vector. If that's true then it'll be ∞*∞.

LinuxForum is owned by The Web Freaks like PHP Freaks is. It will likely be brought up again eventually. As of right now it's being redirected to here instead.

It's hosted at Yahoo so we cannot do anything it if it is missing. I've never experienced that though.

And only if expose_php is set to On.

Neither does this server and I can guarantee you we are running PHP

Works for me.

There are loads of way to compress it and you can compress it at different levels. Higher compression means smaller size but more overhead when compressing and extracting. Lower compression is the opposite obviously. The Windows right-click thing doesn't give you many options but a full-fledged archiving program (my favorite is 7-Zip which supports many formats and is open source) does.

Aren't you the person who is supposed to be making the comparison based on e.g. what features they provide?

Yeah me too, only it didn't work so I got through to a human representative. She spoke Swedish though, it was pretty difficult to understand. It was a long time ago.

Who would call in to say an illegally retrieved key doesn't work anyway?

You upload it within document root and give people a link to the file?

Lol... try to tell Tom that bandwidth is no issue these days... Besides, the point of cloud computing is that the client does not need a lot of resources thus making everything cheaper. Saying that your monster computer can easily play WoW doesn't apply here because there would be no client computer in a cloud environment with those specs. And yes, technology has advanced, but system requirements are increasing as well. I once tried to max out Crysis on my laptop and well, let's just say I discovered a hidden slow-motion feature. Just because you have a really good computer and a really fast internet connection then it doesn't mean everybody else has or can even afford it. I, for instance, have a 1024/256 kbps connection. Far from enough for streaming HD anything. Some people have even slower connections and cannot get anything faster.

I'm not saying cloud computing is bad. I'm just saying I'd rather prefer to have my own workstation instead of just a terminal. Another example, how would you do computer games? You wouldn't have enough resources to do that.

How can I be sure that a third-party won't suddenly lose my file? If the files stay with me then I have total control over them.

The new indicator indicated whether you have not read it. It's possible for ten other people to have read something which you haven't.

The "new" indicator means that you've read it and there has been no new posts since you read the thread. When you've created a thread you've obviously read it so the "new" indicator won't be there.

I don't trust people enough that I'll rely completely on third-parties to watch over my data. I'd like to store it myself, thank you very much

PHP-Fusion CMS can go into PHP Applications (note the "etc." in the board description). Lighttpd can go into Other Web Server Software (note that lighttpd is actually mentioned in the board description). As CV said, if there is not enough traffic for a specific topic then it'll not get it's own forum.
