Found a Bug?

[JDT]

When I open this thread, there is a warning at the top of the page which says:

Warning: unexpected error in date() in c:\inetpub\xtremedotnettalk.com\admin\functions.php on line 1628

[Volte]

That only seems to happen when the time zone is between -7 and -12 inclusive. Looks like perhaps the old infamous time bug

from the WWWThreads is back. :-\

[Thinker]

I messed around with the Title for the Visual Basic forum header

and turned it into a link back to http://www.visualbasicforum.com.

I realize the Title Visual Basic is a bit generic so it might be better

if it said something more specific.

 

Maybe Legacy VB?

[Volte]

How about Visual Basic 6 and under. :-\ It's not really legacy VB,

as it's not obsolete, and still widely used.

 

[edit]How about just 'Non .NET Related Languages', since the other forum

does cover more than just VB[/edit]

Guess what, Mr. "VB6 is pretty much dead to me". Legacy doesn't

mean obsolete. If it did, there is no way I would have stuck that

there.

[Volte]

Heh, OK, whatever. I have always heard the term legacy used to

describe old versions of drivers primarily, which are, pretty much,

obsolete in most respects. VB6 is not really an older version of

VB.NET, any more than QuickBASIC is an older version of Visual

Basic 6. I guess I just misunderstood the meaning of legacy. :-\

 

[edit]Alright, I understand the meaning now, and yes, VB6 is indeed

very much a Legacy program. Sorry. :-\[/edit]

[Thinker]

Well, MS is no longer selling VB6 (except in very specific cases),

but they plan on supporting it through 2008. Certifications for

VB6 aren't close to being retired, but MS is moving most of the

msdn VB6 and below stuff to archives. It is going to be used

extensively for many years to come, but will probably lose ground

to .Net each year. This is a pretty good description of what

legacy software is.

Woah... just tried to download FreakOZ's attachment from the Tutor's

Corner:

[edit]Alright, just tested posting a new one, and it worked. I looks

like maybe the old attachments weren't imported properly. The links

are there, but the files are not?[/edit]

A bit of nostalgia... there are 15 posts being displayed per page while stated as 20 in the CP (I think)... the thread says 2 pages, but I see 3.

[Thinker]

Yeah, already know about it. Either I will fix it when I get FTP

access, or Bob will. It is a minor change to a .htaccess file.

[Iceplug]

Not sure if it is wrong or not, but in the Interop forum description,

should it be "marshaling" or "marshalling"?

I consulted a dictionary and both of those spellings are acceptable. :)

[Volte]

I consulted a dictionary and could find neither word in there at all. :-\

Oh well, no big deal. Who am I to criticize spelling, anyway? :p

 

[edit]Happy now, robot?[/edit]

[AWS]

How true

[robot313]

Volte, do you realize you spelled criticize wrong? :D

[Volte]

Oh the irony! :p

[Iceplug]

Heh. BTW, the Forum Jump Logout doesn't work and I get a "No thread specified" page.

 

[edit]Oh, and there seems to be some extra (old) threads in the Announcements forum.[/edit]

[Thinker]

It won't work until the hack I did gets back into the code. It will

at some point.

[Derek Stone]

Oh, and there seems to be some extra (old) threads in the Announcements forum.

Thanks for pointing that out. All taken care of.

[divil]

Wasn't there a new version of this software coming out, or something? I recall someone (VolteFace?) getting excited about it once.

 

Anyway, perhaps that new version will rid us of the need for all these hacks.

[Iceplug]

BTW, I noticed that when I click on the .Net header forum (the one that takes you to the "subforum view" with the .Net categories i.e. Graphics, Window, language etc.), it has an option to post a new thread... where would this new thread go to or is it even supposed to be there?

 

Extreme .NET Forums > .NET
(This forum)

Also, the quick jump item for Legacy VB takes you to a thread browser page with no threads. It would be nice if it took you straight to the EVBF main index.

[Thinker]

That will probably take a serious hack. While I have high hopes

that vBulletin3 will do away with the need for many of these

hacks, it isn't likely we can go to it till the middle part of next year.

[Banjo]

Is it not out yet, or is it just a case of letting others find the bugs?

[Thinker]

I think it is alpha only. Need to go to the vBulletin site today so

I will check on what they are saying now.

[Thinker]

Just checked and it is now listed as vBulletin 3.0 Alpha 2

Still no beta release date listed.

You can see it at http://beta.vbulletin.com
