Only if they drink green Kool-Aid. That's the bad stuff.
You can strip the wax off the linoleum with the red stuff. That's what we did in the navy.

My point is that you seem to think that a change or continual upgrade of the script is going to break for you. That isn't the case. I do have vBulletin running on a remote server because I have a virtual host for a few sites I run.
I also have PHP v5 and the latest MySQL running on it too. If any upgrades or changes I made resulting in it breaking your platform It wouldn't worry me because you would be one in a few thousand and as a result of little concern. Most people can run a browser at least capable of doing basic stuff like this. Designers, scriptors and site builders are not going to be interested in testing on browsers or platforms that are that deprecated and unsupported.
Nope and no one would support such a browser. I do most of my stuff with CSS now and that's the way things are moving. Every browser still supports both and will continue to for the foreseeable future. What your saying is a bit
like saying I wish the new ACDC album was available on 78rpm because my hi-fi can't handle cd's.
That would depend entirely on what browser you machine can run. If you want to run a lot of video or streaming content that is dependant on what media software your machine can run and what codecs you have on you machine. Non of it would be down to which forum software these guys deceide to use. If they do opt to use a client side streaming bb's then your fecked. So far no such software exists.
The BBC site is my home page. Iplayer is not taking over completely until after digital switch over is complete in 2012. They have a negotiated agreement with realnetworks that runs up to and past 2010. Much of the streaming radio and catchup on the site as well as video reports are still dependant on real player. There are workarounds and I use them.
The BBC site is the bench mark that others follow your going to have to do one of two things. Live with it or move on up.
I'm well aware of this. I think you are still misunderstanding what I'm asking in my original post but I've done the best I can to explain to you so theres not a lot more I can say about that.
And a good one to bring up as the planned format change had slipped out of view without reaction. With that I'm thinking more of the potential effect of the format change itself on membership retention rather than individual browser issues, though I sympathize.Well it seemed like a straightforward kind of a question.
Too bad that the thread turned into a pissing match and competition for the last word - especially since the arguments about technical issues will have no bearing on the outcome....hostility.

Thanks for the good post here XLR!
Yes I'm preety embarresed about my part in it actually.
Yesterday I was really fighting feeling quite down and for some reason felt some kind of need to explain things all the time.
This evening I'm in a great mood but I had just got in from hours of dental surgery and was shot up on well, whatever it is that they shoot you up on.
It gives me the shakes and sends me a bit funny and its unpleasant and confusing.
It was probably good because I immediately came in and put an end to the thread as it was, which was good as it needed doing but I realise that I've been a bit harsh and cranky in a couple of places so apologies to anyone who caught some of that.
Apologies also for the trolling comments. It wasn't that you were asking what my computer was (mac g3, os9, Mozilla as it happens, but I don't want to talk about it), but it was unneccesary to call it trolling.
If anyone wishes to continue the thread on the more general aspects of the change from Vbulletin then that would be cool. I'd love it if the thread could take on a more positive and useful direction, although I personally wnt to step away from it for now as I was just hoping for some more details from our French friends.
Sorry if I've made anyone feel growly.
love

You shouldn't be. You have nothing to apologize for.Yes I'm preety embarresed about my part in it actually.
Anybody who was growly would have been so anyway. You were just the target of the moment, sorry to say.Sorry if I've made anyone feel growly.
I sense that that's not said in sarcasm. And that confuses me as HR is generally a sarcastic place. Yet it's a good thing to see all the same.love
