Great. I only ask as I would be interested to have a look at the forums (as well as learn ASP/PHP). I have a friend from back in school who has broadband access and a Linux box that he uses for Web Hosting and mail. So I thought I could set this up on his box and have a look. Still no job and my computer is pre-Pentium II (last job provided everything so never spent to get my own) so no chance to do ASP.
Looked over your web page/site last night, a good read and a great site. Just wondering if you have the site hosted or if you have your own *nix box connected to the net to host all your stuff on?
Happy for you to reply direct via email if you wish to save bringing up old threads from CP.

Hi Jon,
How far are you planning on taking this? I'm currently using w-agora for the forums on my site (see sig), which is very good in a lot of ways, but nothing beats the CP forums in that pages don't need to be reloaded to view messages.

I plan to go all the way with these boards. I maintain three sites, and I intend to put the forums on all three, so I'm going to put a lot of work into these boards. I'm going to add the DHTML view, smilies, membership capabilities, and anything else I (or anyone!) might need.

Sounds great. w-agora has very good back end admin section and that enables a lot of control over the look/feel/capabilities of the forums without you having to muck with any of the PHP code. Have a look at www.w-agora.net. Are you planning on setting up a way to keep folks like me informed of your progress - a forum for example?

I hadn't planned on it, but since there is interest, then I definitely will. Unfortunately, development will be a little slower over the next 3 months because I'm finishing up at the uni, but I'm going to work on it whenever I can (probably a couple hours/week).
Most likely, I will create a forum at the existing site, http://www.sagara.org/forum/.

The page is actually posting back from the server when you click on the message link, they are just including #xxSomeNumberxx in the anchor tag so the user sees the message in the page instead of the top of the page when it is reloaded.
But you are still absolutely correct when you say:

Aha. I was under the impression that the text for the message was already there because it comes up so quickly. I assume this is DHTML.

I think you (Neville) are correct about the DHTML view. I haven't actually looked into it yet, but it seems that the best thing to do is get all the messages with one query, then show/hide them based on the selected message.

One big problem that you run into is Netscape which I havn't found a working method to hide items with their browser, otherwise know as "The Hell of the Web". For further reading is suggest:
netscape....Where do I begin...?

I'm not going to worry about Netscape. If those users want to torture themselves by using that clunky piece of crap (though in fairness, I haven't used it since 6.1, it may be better now), then they can endure a little more pain by using the static view.
if (ie & DHTML)
// Nice DHTML view
else
// Sucky static view
If someone comes up with a solution, then I'm all for it.

I do apoligize, Neville, you are correct, it is loading all the content into one page. I'm not sure, but I do have a feeling that Netscape isn't hiding layers on us though, so any Netscape users may be actually posting back. I maybe wrong again though. Oh well, it didn't hurt anyone. Thanks.

That is correct - the page does that to change the ad banners.

John,
Are you going to add the [Modify] [Delete] option as we see on CP?

Yes, as soon as I integrate the membership feature.

New version available. Searching doesn't work, nor does post deletion. This is definitely an Alpha release.

I don't think its for Job advertisments.
Collaboration / Testing
Lets say,
1. You want or need someone to test something for you.
2. You wamt or need someone or a group to help you develop a project.
3. Variations on the two reasons above. 
My 2 cents.

Hi again..
I'm looking for some developers who are just generally interested in anything new to informally review our product from a development perspective. Our software is aimed at the home/building automation market but it's really more like a development tool than anything else (since it has it's own built in server, code editor with auto-complete etc, totally dynamic object model with multiple inheritance, i/o completion based tcp & serial interface, VB scripting host, script debugger, web server, media management etc). In fact it's pretty much only the precanned schema that we ship with it that focuses the product on home automation.
We don't market it to developers even though it could be used for all kinds of development purposes - in fact I have a hunch it'd be a pretty good OOP teaching tool for instance.
I'd be very interested to see what a classical developer might make of it especially as myself and my colleagues are a little too close to the code to objectively review it from this perspective. Some basic knowledge of VB Script might be helpful but not essential.
So let me know if you'd care to look at the thing.
cheers,
-chris

Hi Chris,
Is there a Web site with more info, screen shots etc. where one can get a better feel for what this does etc.?
BTW There is no doubt in my mind that the Home Automation area is going to be big. I'd love to be able to hook up the disparate systems I have here at home. Pool heater/pumps/lights, Garden sprinklers, Burglar Alarm, Phone System, Home Theater etc.

Hi,
I'm looking for a couple of beta testers to try out some leak detection software I've been working on, primarily so I can gauge interest in me developing it further. It works quite differently to everything else that is out there. Detects leaks related to the following heaps... BSTR,Global, Local, CRT. Also detects leaks for File and Event handles.
This software is pretty raw (It has a command line user interface) but works well enough. For best results you need symbols (and preferably source) to the program your tracking the leaks for. It doesn't care if you are using retail or debug builds though.
Requirements:
Some C/C++ code - preferably leaky 
Familiarity with typical reasons for leaks
A sense of daring
Let me know if your interested.
cheers,
-chris
