Activation/License/Language Help / Re: Can´t get license key so i quit this damn page

« Last post by mouser on October 28, 2005, 07:08 AM »

Ben, I apologize.

you can see from this thread:
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=1344.0

that you weren't alone in being confused and frustrated.
we upgraded servers yesterday, and the transition has been a little bit rocky.  you can imagine that the site is big enough that it's a little hard to check every page.

for most of yesterday it seems the non-member license key download page was not generating keys for non-members - so you probably visited that page and felt like you were losing your mind.

you should now be able to visit the license key page

i agree that wasted time is worth as much as money and i'm sorry it was so frustrating.

please send me an email (you and anyone who had similar troubles and who signed up at the forum yesterday ), for a non-expiring license key that never needs renewal. [[email protected]].


and jibz - shame on you 
you are normally so nice, i think you ran out of your coffee today.

Activation/License/Language Help / Re: I can not download License Key Process Tamer

« Last post by mouser on October 28, 2005, 06:22 AM »

don't forget all of the programs on this site are FREEWARE (or donationware or debatablenameware).

people who don't donate or who aren't charter members can download individual keys for individual programs, which last for 6 months before they have to come back and download another key.

so basically if you aren't a charter/horonoary member, the programs can be used forever without limitations or nags, but you have to come back to the site to renew your licenses every 6 months (and you have to generate a diffferent license key for each program.

also, the newest programs may initially be released only to members and take a couple weeks/months before they come out of their initial member-only=preview stage (see unicode text-to-image).

it should be fixed now - thank you for letting us know about the error.


for those who are curious the problem was with the script parsing the arguments passed in the url (after the ?);
the old php interpreter was permitting the parsing of these arguments too permisively - the new php installation required a minor fix to make it work.

i think i need to investigate spellcheck - i remember seeing some note in smf about some servers needing some special setting to enable it or something..

update: yes, i need to install pspell - i'm working on it.

Official Announcements / Re: SERVER IS BEING MOVED TONIGHT !! - EVERYONE READ IN!

« Last post by mouser on October 27, 2005, 10:40 AM »

two notes:

people might still experience episodes of your browser getting to the old site instead of the new one in the next 24 hours or so; nothing's wrong it's just the nameservers propagating the new address of the server to the entire internet.

i'm using the actual ip# in the urls of the new site for now, just will the nameservers propagate; by tomorrow everything will be back to the old donationcoder.com urls we all know and love.

yep, i don't know if anyone ever reads them, but i try to talk about this behind-the-scenes stuff in my blog entries whenever there is something to talk about, and i'll definitely talk about the move.

so far it's been pretty smooth, but this has been a pretty big move for us so there is plenty to talk about.

« Last post by mouser on October 27, 2005, 09:54 AM »

this is the new server - you might notice some strangeness as the address of the new server propagates through the various "nameservers" of the internet; it can sometimes take 24-48 hours for the new server address to be accepted by everyone's computer.

after that it should be smooth sailing

it's possible this person has just discovered the site right on this day when we are moving servers and interpreted it as meaning something fishy is going on...

if so, let me assure you that never since the good old days of "mission imposssible" would such an elaborate scam be designed to steal a a couple dollars worth of donations

Living Room / Re: RSS question...

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2005, 10:41 PM »

i've been doing a lot of modifying of the smf forum scripts, so i can probably do this, can you explain a little more what you'd like; since i don't use the RSS feeds i'm not sure what they currently look like.

btw.
some requests may be discussed on simplemachines.org forum and if anyone ever has a request that's been discussed there it would save me some time to start with a pointer to it.

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2005, 05:51 PM »

The domain name changes are going to be activated tonight to change to our new dedicated server.   

The site may act a little strange until then.

I will add something to then top left of homepage and top right (news box) of forum on the new server so you can know if you are on the new server.

I may close the forum for a bit while the changes are made to avoid posts on the old board.

Find And Run Robot / Re: access Google desktop search from FaRR?

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2005, 01:56 PM »

i've been considering ways to let FARR interface with google/msn/yahoo desktop indices..

a plugin interface for FARR is planned that will support such plugins, and i think that's that best and most general approach for this.. i hope that when we get nearer to actually implementing this plugin (probably not for a couple of months) that we can return to this discussion and figure out what would be the nicest way to do this.

yes, a very good idea and a planned feature - will be added soon.

also you will be able to drag and drop screenshots/images into your clipart directories to make it easy to add clipart to your library.
