The scripts now support Dynamic mode for Netscape 6+, though they have only been tested with NS7.

Did it work for you then? I tried them but both of them merely replace the entire window's content rather than perform the actions there were supposed to.

That's what it did for me, too, but I want to eliminate that.

What is the aim of this development? For fun, open source, to be included in CodeProject? .. just out of interest!
I noticed that even if the author unchecks the e-mail on replies checkbox, the e-mail is still mandatory. I guess if this option is disabled, then e-mail should be optional and in this case the [Email to Author] should not be available for this message.
Also when composing the message, there is not URL and URL^.
There is also something that is not feeling right about the images, it is either that the server is slow, or CP has a trick to make it load faster. You may want to consider pre-loading the pictures using JavaScript or providing the width / height if they are not there.
Good work...

I'm just doing a straight port for the time being. Maybe in a future version I will worry about this.

What browser are you using? Those currently only show up for IE4+.

I checked, and the width/height were not specified for any of the smilies. Thanks for catching that. They load much faster now.

You didn't answer my question about the reason for the development?

Someday, but no time soon. Lots of work left to be done. Definitely NOT GPL, though.

Hello all,
I am requesting your help in testing my newest PHP version of the Code Project forums. You won't find some of the bells and whistles that you're used to (yet), but it's pretty much a 1-to-1 port of the ASP/ActiveX version offered on this site.
So, without further ado, please pound on the forum scripts and do your best to break them. If and when you do, please let me know how you did it. Currently, there is no censoring enabled, so please keep the language clean.
Also, I hesitate to even call this an Alpha release. Please don't expect much polish, but rather a "just-got-it-working" version.
Have fun!

This is in regard to my CountryListBox ASP.NET control article here on CP:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CountryListBox.asp[^]
The most intensive part of the search is performed by MaxMind's supplied CountryLookup class (which in turn accesses the GeoIP.dat file -- the IP database). Mind you, this could be ported to SQL Server and searched through SQL statements.
Anyway, I want to get some kind of test with regards to how efficient the file access is, what kinds of loads can be expected etc.
There are two disk I/O intensive operations:
1) Loading of the countries from a text file
2) Search of the GeoIP database
Is there any kind of behind-the-scenes file caching in Windows 2000/XP?
Anyway, I'm going to run some load tests on my machine (only XP Pro -- limited incoming connections I believe?) to see how it handles, but was wondering if anyone had any general strategies as to how to go about testing it? Things to watch out for etc.?
Thanks for your help

Sure, all versions of the OS maintain a disk cache. If the file isn't too big (like, under 1MB), you can map the whole file into memory at once and then do your searches. That lets the OS handle the entire I/O process, as opposed to reading the file into your own buffer a chunk at a time.

I am a few weeks away from releasing a new major release of my bttlxeForum software with (finally) full support for SQL Server amongst others (spell check anyone?), and am looking for as many kind people as possible who can test it for me by installing it themselves. Just follow the link at the bottom of this message and tell me which OS, version of IIS, which database type/s you could test, etc, and I’ll e-mail you the zip file in the next couple of days.
In summary the main enhancements to the current version (1.0.2) are:
- Full SQL Server compatibility out of the box.
- Support for most phpBB themes (it can use the style sheet and images, but not layout information), or of course you can supply your own template as before. Yes, this means no more ugly blue and pink by default!
- A handful of security fixes, some minor and some that I am ashamed even made it through testing on the last version.
- Admin scripts re-haul – visually and functionally.
- Automatic upgrading. The scripts can automatically detect if they are out of date and allow you to download the latest update with one click. Currently you will be given a zip file, but I’m toying with the idea of physically updating the scripts on the client’s server - good or bad idea? It would of course be prompted and explained first.
- Database upgrade script (Access and SQL Server) that will reformat the Forum table’s data to allow for any printable character to be used in the forum names, descriptions, etc. Allows you to keep using existing database.
- Optional spell checker component. Register the component on the server and set a variable and you will be able to spell check your messages before submitting them. Not currently registered on my web server.
If you will be able to install the software on a web server to test it (I highly recommend not using your company’s web server without permission if you want to retain your job), then click here [^] to fill out the simple form.
If you can’t install the scripts I still want to hear from you though – if you can think of features you’d like to see or can spot anything wrong with the user end of the scripts please tell me (e-mail or reply here please don't use the forums themselves till this version is released unless it affects the previous version).
No one gets money and no one gets xmas cards from me, but you’ll get plenty of good karma from helping me and the people out there using these scripts. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Thanks, David. I've never gotten your first several versions to work, but that's only because I'm too stupid to figure out what I need to modify in the config file to make it play with my system. One of these days I'll figure it out

Heya,
I've managed to add many new and interesting items to the CAMEL - CPU Identifier. These include PCI hardware detection, Dhrystone & Whetstone benchmarking and several other things...
The problem: I cannot think of any more! I would like people to suggest random ideas and perhaps something will be implemented. There is a prize for this: the authors of any ideas that are implemented into the code will be given a free copy of the final release version. YES! FREE!  If you want to see the latest version - check out:

You've already included just about everything that anyone might need - well done! - why not toss in a free horoscope reading to help a user to gauge his/her odds of success?
Seriously, I haven't yet installed your product, but I've been following its development as best I can. From what I can see, you've done a great job, and should enjoy a good measure of success with it. I'm curious though - what caused you to build such a product? Was there nothing available on the Web that could provide the information you wanted? Were you frustrated by the inadequacies of the tools provided by Microsoft? Or were you just curious to see what you could discover on your own?

I'm working on a COM-based CP web service reader, so that other folks not using .NET can have an easy way to get the data from the service. Even the VB guys. 
I also have updated the SearchBar to use the reader and display the latest articles and comments in the browser, as the first app to test the reader.
So if anyone is interested in helping test it out, download test build #1 (168K).
Installation instructions:
Unzip the ZIP file anywhere you like. If you already have the SearchBar, you can unzip to the SearchBar's directory.
Register the EXE by running CPWebSvcReader.exe /RegServer
Register the DLL by running regsvr32 CodeProjectToolbar.dll
In IE, click View|Toolbars|The Code Project SearchBar to activate the SearchBar.
In the SearchBar's Site Links menu, the top item is a TEST submenu (just so you don't forget this is a TEST ), with three items to view the latest Lounge topics, articles, and forum comments. Note that the first time you use one of those commands, it will be sloooooowww since the reader has to grab a lot of data from the service. Choosing one of those items will show the corresponding list in the browser.
Feel free to bang on it and try to break it. Known issues are:- Slow startup time.
- If you change your online state while the COM server is running, it will not adjust to the new state.
Please send any comments, suggestions, and bug reports to this address.
