Just because you’re brother and sister doesn’t mean you wear the same clothes.
You have a totally valid point, and I think once the development process is mostly *over* that making things pretty will be addressed, but right now I think the consensus is that making it all pretty is wasted effort because of how quickly each platform changes.
It would be nice if the /forum/ could be totally removed
…and to be given the option to be changed to be the name of the forum you are viewing when viewing a topic, similar to WordPress…
I don’t even know how to respond anymore, because really there is no way to defend myself while I’m in someone elses house. I can only speculate what Sam’s duties with Automattic are, because it’s none of my business. I can only assume from what I’ve read (where it’s been hinted at) that Sam is the sole developer behind bbPress, because again it’s none of my business who’s working on it really.
Suffice it to say that I think it’s really sad that my above response was met with such hostility and defensiveness, especially from someone holding the responsibility of moderation, considering there never really was any offense that I see dignified that kind of response. I really didn’t mean any harm or attitude; I even mentioned that I knew I was risking sounding a little off tone, but I think the question is probably a semi valid one, and I can’t speak for anyone else but myself when I ask…
I’m neither complaining, nor banging away. I’ve filed trac tickets and proposed solutions where I felt I qualified enough to supply one. I’ve written my own plugins and modified existing ones to work for specific situations. If what you think is that I’m pressuring or pestering anyone for anything, than I think that there’s a misunderstanding from the get go. I’m not saying it isn’t on my end, but what I will say is that I feel I’ve done my best to be friendly, contribute, and understand how the bbPress family is trying to run business here. I ask that you try to realize that to the new comer, some of what you all have come to know as common knowledge may not be for others, and that maybe… Just maybe, there are better ways to moderate a forum and still get your point across… Again, maybe it’s just me, but moderators typically wear many hats, sometimes one of which is the bouncer at the front door, protecting the crowd. I don’t see this forum as having a particularly riotous clientel, so I can’t say that much muscle is really even necessary…
Okay I’m rambling now…
My point being, that if Sam’s only job is to work on bbPress for Automattic, and he hasn’t been around or made any updates or changes, then I’d like to apply for his job.
You know, it’s responses like that, that really tend to make sour what is otherwise the sweet enthusiasm of enjoying being part of a growing project. I mean no disrespect to anyone on this forum; developers, moderators, etc… But quite honestly it’s that type of holier than thou attitude that is going to upset your core audience…
- I’m here because I want to be.
- I’m here because I can be.
- I’m here on my own schedule, just like Sam.
- If that’s really how you feel, then the reasons I’m here shouldn’t matter.
- This isn’t rushing, this is a valid question; “What is it you say you do here?”
- You shouldn’t talk to people like they are children.
- Thanks for the… er… warning I guess, Tom Smykowski.
You know, at the risk of sounding like a snot, I’ve actually had a similar thought. The only thing stopping me from saying the same thing is that I have no idea what else it is that Sam does.
@ganzua: I predict that you are integrated with WordPress, and that your jQuery isn’t being loaded correctly.
I will prove this theory by asking for you to add a topic to your favorites on your forum, and report back and let me know if it works.
This is how phpBB already works.
I think its a good idea though.
I think I may try to tackle this plugin when I have more time, because I find myself wanting it more and more.
I guess I come from the old school, where a webpage is basically just a snazzy interface for a database, so the interface should allow for any kind of manipulation of the database that you’d need, and only stop you from doing something silly.
The title of this post made me chuckle, so I had to chime in.
If worse really comes to worse, I am willing to assist on a more personal level. I can’t ethically advertise myself or my services here, but if you can google your way into contacting me outside of bbPress.org, I’d do my best to help you.
…And Joomla, blech…
Check your wp-config.php file, and search for “$table_prefix”
I’ve got $5 that says you accidentally typed “ltvwff” next to it.
I think the best bet would be to block the inappropriate ones.
