Don't know if you can connect via a UK proxy?

You could try here http://www.xroxy.com...proxy-country-GB.htm

Be careful... Many people would say DC is supporting illegal activities..

Still, it's a great show! Thanks for letting me know there's a new series

This can be very easy to do, but i need to know if the filenames don't change.
The one you want to download mantains the file name?

(This program can be constantly checking if the page has been updated, and only download when there's a new version of the program, because there's a "release date" there )

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I love this program (as almost all of my friends do). But it isn't available here, and "ilegally" downloading it from the internet is a bit of a hasle.
This is fantastic news!

Just a minor warning:
@qrade: i think there's something in the top of the image you submited. the small black-to-white gradient at the top is not the same in the banner as in the expander. I don't think i explained this well, please look at the top of the banner on the testpage: https://www.donation...er/qrade1/index.html

That means that a user would put the [blog] tag on his post, but it might not get blogged?
I think i still don't get the idea...
Ok, this was non-sense, i misread it all. I think now i understand the idea, please proceed with the brain-storming

If your using Opera,chances are it's not working cause google services and Opera don't get along very well.

eheh... As always, i missunderstood stuff.
I thought you had mentioned that the forum would make a blog entry from a post. I mean, every post that had the [blog] tag would be copied to the blog.
I mean, each blog entry would also be a post on the forum.
I completelly misunderstood the idea :S

I also like the idea carol presented in her last post, having the (read more) button that would disappear and show the whole post (on the blog)

Find And Run Robot / Re: farr v2 planning - use cases and action idea

« Last post by jgpaiva on May 21, 2006, 09:27 AM »

yes, i understand that, but why can't farr think of an alias just as if it was a file?
the alias would appear there, and if it was the first result, the user would only press [enter]

The last thing you mentioned, mouser, i still don't understand the problem about having farr searching for files and actions at the same time..

I like the [blog][/blog] tag idea. The blogger could make a post on the same thread, with that tag, where he would quote the other post.
Another advantage about this is that the same thread that had the blogged post will also have the blog entry, which makes the comments for both the post and blog entry be at the same place (which i consider fulcral, to avoid having the same information in 2 different places), and also because it'll be easier to see the blog entry when browsing the forum, because it'd be like a regular post.

I also think what you mentioned, mouser, is important, cutting long posts should be done, to avoid having big blog entries.

Another good thing about the [blog] tag is that (i think) it would make it easier to add new bloggers, because it wouldn't imply having to modify posts.

Ok, i was thinking... If we pick a post from the forum, and blog it, wouldn't it appear out of context? How could this be solved?
I think that when something was blogged, that something should have an additional comment from the blogger. Or is there a better solution? (or am i missing the point, here? )

Find And Run Robot / Re: farr v2 planning - use cases and action idea

« Last post by jgpaiva on May 21, 2006, 06:31 AM »

@jukla: I see where you're heading to with space as modifier. It really is faster if you use only one modifier.
IMO though, this should be added as an option and not by default. Only because it still forces you to have another modifier if you'd like to have more than one action on the same file, or the action specified after the file.
I find the idea of using caps letters in the actions interesting, let's hear come more opinions on that.

As for action-finding help, i think that there should be a second result box, maybe dividing the already existent search box, or appearing in the other direction. I mean, if farr was configured to have a drop-down results list, the actions would come on a "appear-up" list.
Another important point is that you can never be looking for both a file and an action (because of the modifier key), so, i guess the simplest solution would be to just have the same results list used as "possible actions" list.

This is my style of games, but it's an interesting demo, the way this games plays with portals and gravity notions are strange. I like the part where the character gets reduced, and walks on that sort of moon.
Definitelly, a very weird game!

Ok, now i can comment on the images: THOSE LOOK GOOD!
EhEh... Very nice, i like the idea! I already tried finding something similar, because it's hard to make good looking posts only with bbcode. As for images, why not mantaining the system we have right now? The [ Invalid Attachment ] is easy to use, and allows for (almost) exact placement of images.

Strange - I use the inline thumbnails - I'll change them to standard pics ... have a look now.

Nope.. Still not working. I have some strange privilegies in this section, i can view the posts, but i can't search, see images, or even use the quote button.. It's a bit weird.

@mouser: Ok.. Now i get the idea. This sure looks interesting! That means that the thread-opening posts at the mini-reviews section would be limited in look, so that it fits the review pattern, or with smarty there's no need for that?

That means, mouser that when someone made a post, that post would be processed, sent to smarty, which would generate a static page from it and store it, right?
BTW, the test forum page, as it is right now, is a dynamic page, right? (i mean because it has those toolbars that can disappear, or be collapsed)

I'm still catching up on this thread, i'm just posting to report i can't see the images Carol posted..
I think it might be related to permissions (because when i click them, i get the "you are not allowed here" error).

I'm just checking in as i've been using taskbarex since my last post, and i'm quite happy with it!
Even though i don't have much need for such app, this one works just perfectly, and is much better than any of the ones mentioned in this thread! (not that the other ones aren't good, but taskbarEX, really is quite a good peice of code )
This one has my seal of approval
