Hi, I just tried to register for the wine forum, and noticed several really annoying things about the process: 1. The "Register" link is kind of hard to find. Normally it is just next to the "Forgot password" link. 2. No SSL. 3. You emailed me my password! Argh! This is a terrible idea for obvious reasons, and also implies: 4. Passwords aren't stored hashed. Seriously.

Hi, I plan to setup an forum for my friend and his friends shortly. But before I setup, I would like to know what are the popular open source forum software/packages to look at.. Please advise. Thanks. --Robinson ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

One unfortunate side affect is you also cannot edit the title. For example, I wanted to mark a question i posted, as solved... > Edited posts weren't sent to the list, which caused confusion. maybe there can be a warning added to the editing page, that says edits will not propogate to the mailing list... what is the real advantage of a mailing list over phpbb anyways? I can't figure

In the thread "[Wine] New to Wine...and already in trouble..." there was a spam post by kizi that says it was "Sent from the Wine - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com". Can people really send things to our list/forum from other sites/forums? It also seems odd that the reply directs a person to catch up on the thread by linking to Nabble instead of the Wine forum. It

I am sure this has been asked before, but why not use Google newsgroup or at least some forum BBS software instead of this cumbersome mailing list process? -- Costas Menico Meezon Software Corp 201-224-8111 costas@meezon.com --

It has been suggested that the wine-users list is now too busy, and needs to be split into two: one for experienced users, and one for beginners. However, this might leave the beginners adrift without any experienced people to help them. So I don't think we should do it unless at least a handful of experienced users are willing to join the new group and lend a hand. I'm willing, but I

We have launched a web forum front end to this mailing list. I wanted to notify the subscribers of this list to that fact. http://forum.winehq.org If you prefer, you can now use this website to browse and post to the list. Your posts will still be mailed out to the list, and posts to the list will appear in the forum. You can continue to use the mailing list as you always have if you prefer

Hi all, I can see huge traffic here over 400 post in 4 days. My proposal is to create asterisk newsgrup proposal or phpBB forum what do think about it ? BR, Corvin btw. I'm admin of phpBB Forum (slackware forum - polish language), nearly 900 users. I think if someone will prepare it good it can be great project. (but I have 7 person team).

Hi my name is Eddy I'm working with a samba serveur and 20 pc (windows xp). I would like to install a forum on intranet.

I would like to knock up a phpbb forum with a rails application. I wanted to do this as I want to use ActiveRecord to crawl through the user database in the rails app. Is there a way to do this - on the same domain name and server... Or does it depend how the server is setup? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey! That's a good news! You should always update the anti-spam software to lessen or most importantly to prevent spammers. About the mailing list, splitting is the right way.

Hi Guys, So creating a forums application seems like something that rails can handle easily and well, and whatever implementation that came to fruition would be head and shoulders above existing products like vBulliten and phpBB. Even the existing rails forums are using php-based forum products! An insult if you ask me. So my question -- is there any current development of a rails-based

I'd like to know exactly what it is that people find so convenient about forums. I'd also like to know why the wine list archives can't

Again i point out the benefite of a forum in this perticular manner. It has become apparent that there is someone on this list serve taking email addresses and sending spam (to its individuals and not directly to the list) because i created this email addess specifically for this list serve It is not listed online anywhere or registered on any webpages. But i started getting spam in it just

Hello, I have noted below problems that we can take care of, and those that aren't our problem, never were, never will be, impossible to be our problem, (you get the picture), because they are PEBKAC errors :) For all of those that don't know: PEBKAC = Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.

Hi CentOS lovers, i have already sent this email to [www-devel] but still no answer. What i propose to the comunnity is the creation of a full featured forum. Mailing lists are fine, but one losses a lot of information, how-to's, advices, and so on. I currently am a network administrator / programmer /web programmer in europe and i point the lack of centralized site with information as
