SE Future...

[Krip730]

Woah... chill man!  

There's no joking involved, the developers simply want the new version to be as bug-free as possible... the longer you wait, the better the end-product will be. If you think that's a joke, then **** off to Y1G. I think you'll find they follow the same system too, quality releases and not rushed rubbish.

let him go... the moement his site gets more then 1000 hiits a day to the board... he will come come crawling back from the depths of his web-hosts recycling bin... on his knees too may i add

This whole 1.3.0 release thing reminds me a bit about bands changing their style. You can't please everyone. If you release the YaBB board now with maybe a few bugs someone will soon come bitching that you released it too soon with bugs in it. Now if you don't release it just yet people still bitch about it. Same with bands, if they change their style people bitch that they sold out, if they don't change it people bitch that they don't evolve at all.

Wouldn't want to be a band member or a board developer in that situation

I don't know ...

You guys are certainly right ....
... but the problem is that a lot of people are waiting ... a lot of anxiousness is in the air ... and I guess it was not created by us, the users ....

It would be good not to disclose at all the development status ... and just release when you are ready and bug-free ....

But here the story is different ... this is a forum and a family ... they have been telling us they were almost ready for a long time now ....

I know it's better bug-free of course ... but the real thing is that anyone that develops software has to keep in mind the debugging time ...

When you say "ok, from this time on, no more new features, we'll debug" ... you can't stay a life on it ....

My guess is that more and more features have been added also in this very last period .... this just wanting the product to be better, just for us ( you are so nice, no pun intended !! ) but in the end .... more features, more bugs and more bugs, more time to take to take them out !!


Jeff .... my thought is ....  no more new features until those bugs are out ....

How can I add featured to a code that has even one or two bugs

You are and remain great though !!!!


 

PS - if the story of the features adding was wrong, please forgive me ....

hmmph...its going to be released tomorrow (April Fools) isn't it?   Im going to give up and install the proper orginal YaBB....they don't joke around..

Sorry to hear you're giving up on the team.  I wish you luck.  

I myself have been waiting for this also.  I have bought another domain and paid for another host to put SE on because I realize that with future growth, SP1 will not do.  Even with my small user base (135) and 1000 messages, I still noticed things were getting slower.  So I am planning for the future.  You don't go and buy a two-seat convertable when you wife is 8 months pregnant (unless you want to be single, haha), do you?  Let alone a convertable that has never been tested!

But you know what?  There is no reason to get hostle...  I'm not... no reason to!  The world is still spinning and the sun is going to come out tomorrow (joy  )!!!!!

So in closing, go if you must but always go smiling!!

phark!

Hehe we're NOT adding more features.  Our crack beta testing team just keeps finding little things here and there.  I was pretty sure we were going to release on Friday but something popped up.

So we're nearly there.  Then, this weekend is Easter.  Contrary to what some may think, we DO have families

[kurgan]

well having a family and actually spending time with them is two entirely different things    

ok lets see if this cry thing works..    mmmm?

Thanks Zippo.  BTW, how did you make that message scroll?  I don't feel like looking at the source to find it.

a 'marquee' IE-only tag..

to be honest I personally think that all non standard tags should be removed, as far as I know, 'glow' 'dropshadow' etc. are nonstandard tags. The results of these are only viewable in IE on winblowz.

Well, thats not to big of a deal... what other browsers are that popular?  I mean, I used to swear by Opera, before money became more important than a quality product.  I left Netscrape years ago (to many memory leaks).

Mar 27 - 11:54 PM ET According to the latest numbers released Wednesday by WebSideStory's StatMarket, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6.0 has captured a 30 percent market share just seven months after its release - sending Netscape's usage plummeting to an all-time low of 7 percent. Netscape had previously held 12 percent of the browser market for over a year. IE 6 is now the second most-used browser in the world, only sitting behind predecessor IE 5. "The fast adoption rate for IE 6 has been a definite threat to Netscape's usage share," said StatMarket vice president of marketing Geoff Johnston in a statement.

well Im a happy IRIX and Linux user, I also happen to use w2k when Im forced by morons thinking that word/excel documents can be opened by anyone anywhere, and thus emails it to me..
Im quite pleased with mozilla (and n6 for that matter) the only time I start ie, is when I have to validate if a webpage work on that piece of junk too... as for opera, yes it is nice and fast but its too buggy, doesnt comply to w3c standards which is a pain (btw. if you liked opera, then you shuld have a look at mozilla 0.99 it has tabbed browsing built-in I love it! middlemousebutton clicking on a link will open it up in the background in a tab)

Ive also used Konquror a few times, and galeon, both are pretty ok, but I stick with mozilla.

In fact I havent experienced any memory leaks with mozilla for a few releases so when it hits 1.0 it should be rock solid

[Jeff Lewis]

Heh I stopped using Netscape when I worked for Nortel when I was...hmm...I think I was 18 or 19 back then.  Maybe 20.

[kurgan]

you cant really compare the old 4.7x series with the new mozilla (and for your case I guess it must have been N2 ?)

the new Gecko layout engine if fast and is the only one that to my knowlegde complies to w3c standards.

You really should give it a chance if you havent tried it

you can ofcourse download it at http://www.mozilla.org/ even though its essentially beta code with debugging info inside it runs very fast,, and is extremely stable.

Oh yes btw. with netscape virus seems to be much less of a problem  

[Shoeb Omar]

well.. i checked out the new netscape and it really still isnt near the level of ie6  

i think its a little too little a little too late ... bye bye netscape. time to die
