Apparently, they decided to add an additional column to the database table of the finished and out of testing forums after declaring them finished.

Should clear up in a bit once they fix the code on that page if not already.

no, no, svdl. it's finished.

You heard it right here.

From the representative of Bondware and renderosity, quotable and printable in external sources, including web hosting services and web design communities across the internet.

Perhaps, as a courtesy, we should help :)

mysql error: Column: 'status' in where clause is ambiguous, occured in query: "SELECT t.*, m1.username AS author, m2.username AS replier FROM forumpro_thread t INNER JOIN member m1 ON t.user_id=m1.userid LEFT OUTER JOIN member m2 ON t.last_post_user=m2.userid WHERE forum_id='12357' AND ( last_mod > '2006-02-26 10:33:07' OR last_post > '2006-02-26 10:33:07') AND type='thread' AND status != 'pending' AND status != 'deleted' ORDER BY last_post DESC, post_date DESC LIMIT 0,50;".

on a return to the forum after a reply.

happens. No biggie

Renderosity has not been using PHP. "EZ" pages are pages written in a custom language similar in style to HTML tags in that and , etc tags are contained within brackets, but are parsed on the server side. EZ was a custom language developed by Bondware before the days of Renderosity, but PHP has quickly surpassed its capabilities, so we are moving to that platform.

The forums have been deemed finished, just so you know. We are no longer in testing.

FYI: Don't talk about things you don't know about. If you wanted to know what EZ was, you should have asked a developer such as myself.

I sit corrected. Apparently in a post made several years ago by Tim, he misspoke, and many of the functions which use the ez extension storngly resemble php2 do so simply out of coincidence.

I apologize.

No longer in testing, and finished. So noted, filed, and archived for later use.

Quote - Let me chime in with some complaints.

What the hell are you using for the HTML editor? I don't see anything in Opera 8.53. There's nothing in the source about an arrow beside Body. N.O.T.H.I.N.G. Or you're breaking something with those layers in Javascript? (I don't know Javascript.)

And, basically, you're supporting two browsers: IE and Mozilla. Netscape has IE and Mozilla engines. I'm not switching to either of the above. Plus IE 6 is abysmally slow on the site.

courtesy of the evil twin...

Of the 9%? prolly about 4% (older versions and formats). The rest are specialty browsers for specific purpsoes (math, text only, etc).

incidentally, williamsn asked what browser you were using in the other thread.

Should prove interesting to see what they decide...

Quote - As I told ynsaen in the other thread, there are editors that work. So Renderosity can create one, too, if they don't want to use a ready-made solution. If they want to sell this forum, they better be ready to support everything.

And I'm on Windows Opera.

Everything?  All 567 known browsers, when the combined total of all but five is less than 9% of the total browsing population?

That's unreasonable.

yup.

A few, actually -- the one that caught my eye right away was the image function.

Seems that relative URLs are ok for the location of images posted through the editor in Mozilla based browsers, but complete URLs are not.  Which is so many people are having issues getting images into their postings from offsite using the editor.

heh.

All other terms of the LGPL license remain valid.

makes a heck of a difference....

I always try to look at the bright side, ya know :D

The only way to fix that, hon, is to change from a black background.

phpbb and vbulletin don't use this style of editor -- they use a custom implementation that essentially exists in order to allow for the functionality i as many browsers as possible.

And it simply is true.  Note that I said: "... that Renderosity can use for commercial purposes..".  That, all by itself, changes a lot of things.

I'm aware of the methodology.  As for lame, I disagree.  By doing so, they cover in excess of 90% of the effective population.  That's wise use of available resources. Perhaps Opera would gain more ground by changing their implentation...

Like I said -- wait for it, lol.  IE7 is going to pretty much require recoding almost every site. And doesn't Rosity just look so awesome in IE7?  I mean, wow -- who knew it could be so totally wrecked.

Wait for the results of the Eolas case to kick in, too.  No more "object" tags...

It'll hit this winter, specifically (with Vista), and if it doesn't, MS is gonna take a hit in the markets, so peeps are gonna be working their butts off to get out.

Just as a note to the awesome folks providing these style sheets:

Remember to take IE7 into account as you dev these, since the new version fixes all those old errors and adds a whole lotta new wrinkles (some of which will allow you to do some cool cSS3 stuff).

IE8 is projected for 18 months later, as well, and is supposedly going for full css3 & XHTML support.

Williamsn is correct -- the html editors out there that Renderosity can use for commercial purposes all essentially rely on built in capabilities of the browsers themselves, typically via javascript.

Opera, Safari, and most other browsers outside of the Mozilla/IE grouping simply have no ability to support these editors. Nor are they likely to.

Incidentally, wait until IE7, which already has several fixes for well known CSS/HTML issues that IE6- was buggy as all get out about. And adds support for more stuff, which, incidentally, will require changes to all the CSS pages already being used.

That's hitting the internet in full this fall (about, oh, 6 months from now). Right about the same time that use of the tag in any webpage gets ugly...
