Hmm... good to see some objectivity

If you've designed your application properly then you shouldn't necessarily have to rewrite many things.

The solved mod has been updated and installed again. Many thanks to wildteen88 for updating it

That's weird. You should report it as a bug to the SMF team here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=137.0

You could try something like this to create a color scheme.

@xylex: That's nonsense. If you've learned something autodidactically then it means, according to the above dictionary definition, that you've learned it without formal instruction/education[1]. Therefore, if you have not had a person whose role to you was a teacher (or something that resembles a teacher) in a specific subject then you are an autodidact. It doesn't mean that just because you've learned something by observing how other people did it then you're not an autodidact. Nor does it mean that you cannot draw on other people's research or information given by other people as long as it did not happen in a formal educational environment. If a person on a forum for instance told you that the PCRE extension is better than POSSIX regex in PHP because the former is faster, then it doesn't suddenly mean you haven't learned PHP by yourself. I'd say it's being able to take bits and pieces from all sorts of places and use those collectively to form your entire skill set that makes you an autodidact. That's opposed to going to school where they will teach you the things you need throughout a confined course (could for instance be called "Object Oriented Programming and Design" or "Introduction to Distributed Systems") or more general classes which could for instance be an English class whose goal is to teach you the English language. [1] "Formal education consists of systematic instruction, teaching and training by professional teachers. This consists of the application of pedagogy and the development of curricula." (source)

No... a dictionary definition of "self-taught" is "taught to oneself or by oneself to be (as indicated) without the aid of a formal education" or "having knowledge or skills acquired by one's own efforts without formal instruction". Thus if you did not have a teacher then you're self-taught. I learn by trail and error, and by reading books and articles. That makes me self-taught because I've not learned it through formal education and because I have not received formal instruction. Plenty of other people do that as well.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE comment_date_gmt > NOW() - INTERVAL 2 WEEK; Is better. No need for DATE_SUB(). MySQL can handle the arithmetic itself.

You can probably just remove that part.

http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/library/Zend/Translate/Adapter/Gettext.php

Ah yeah. gettext() is very useful. It even has its own shortcut. _() What a weird name for a shortcut. Not really. When you create the mo files you'll have to search through the source files to find where the strings to be translated are. So you look for anything within a function/method called _(). I use Zend's gettext implementation though, not the one built into PHP.

I'm an autodidact as well. I want to study computer science though - all the way to PhD.

Not creepy, but crappy. I'm talking implementation-wise. The code sucked and so did the database structure it used. Sure it was useful. Now you should be able to view the all the members in the different groups by clicking on the items in the legend in the online list at the bottom of the home page. E.g. admins or mods.

I use gettext.

The staff page was a mod. A rather crappy one I might add.

Must be a bug...

Signature size decreased, looks like [code], [code] size increased, [quote] style changed back to how it was before.

1) We've just performed a major upgrade. Did it occur to you that we might be busy doing other stuff than tweaking random CSS attributes? 2) Somebody else already said it. 3) Your browser has a zoom function. Use it until we get the CSS changed.

Until we get the mod updated to SMF 2 you cannot use this feature.

foobar Hmm... perhaps. I don't know. It seems there are a lot of font changes. I'll work at getting the stylesheets (including the header) updated.

hmm, lets add something else to your calculation : 179132 * 6.45$/per month = 1,155,401.4$ per month. they have said websites not accounts. lets say each person hosts average 3 websites, then : 1,155,401.4$ per month / 3 = 385,133.8$ per month. unless I'm wrong, but that's some money which you can give people more than YB. How does that take things like power bills, staff payrolls, equipment redundancy, etc. into consideration? You don't just hit the power switch of a server and then it'll run indefinitely without costs.

I find most of the projects on such sites rather uninteresting. Mostly it's "mod my Drupal/Joomla/oscommerce" projects.

Probably. If they did that then they'd need 87 PB (seeing as they say they host 179132 accounts) which is quite a lot.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion. It says that if you pay for three months at a time then you'll pay 49 DKK/month. 49 DKK = 9 USD so that gives 27 USD for three months. Also, did you read what their pages said? They said it was possible to provide that because they expect that people are not using it. That sounds pretty ridiculous to me. You should always expect that people use what they pay for... That means you shouldn't sell the same thing twice (which they imply they do). It's like when travel agencies double book plane tickets because they expect a certain portion of the customers cancel. When all of the customers then actually show up at airport check-in they're screwed because they've been overselling.

Considering you do not have root access I'm not impressed. Having that beats all their "features".
