Hmm, somethings not right with the threading. I see multiple copies of some messages, in the wrong order under http://forum.postgresql.org/index.php/t/4686/0/b7656cccda1983043b9833638 2752e10/ The email addresses need obsfucating as well if you can (and some have links like: mailto:{(!empty(scrappy) ? scrappy : '')} On the plus side, looks pretty good, and is nice and fast :-) Regards, Dave.

Ok, now for the grilling ;-) Is it supposed to be read only? I went to post a reply but was told I have to register, then went to try and register and registration was disabled, so I'm not sure what your plan is for that, but I am thinking the first patch should be that when an Administrator disables registration the register buttons don't come up. Possibly patch #2 should be that, if you want it to be read only, the post reply buttons could be turned off. I was also curious how often the messages are updated (they seemed pretty up to date) and how far back they go. Last thing of note, we probably want to make a more formal banner on the top and use the same css as the main site (better might be to just uses the alexy/beta site's theme) Robert Treat -- Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

One thing though - are the charactersets getting mangled? Take a look at message #11511, "[pgsql-benchmarks] Largest DATABASE". Not sure if that is from the email gateway or import from archive... Love the syndication feature. Man, that "Anonymous" sure is a busy poster ;-) -- Mitch

Man, that "Anonymous" sure is > a busy poster ;-) Yea, unfortunately, when importing the messages, they get marked as anonymous, unless you select to create accounts for all users, which I did not since it would send email with account details to everyone who has ever posted to the newsgroups. ...

No, the idea is to have it fully integrated with the mailing lists. This will require a bit of work however, since it would have to be set up, so that only subscribers to the list would be able to post to a forum. It's not trivial, but not that difficult either. > Possibly patch #2 should be that, if > you want it to be read only, the post reply buttons could be > turned off. Yea, I'd have to agree with that, however this is not the goal, and as such, I feel my time is better spent on getting it fully functional. I have emailed the author your suggestions for disabling the register button, and the post reply button. > I was also curious how often the messages are > updated (they seemed pretty up to date) and how far back they > go. There is a delay, but it is minimal. Currently, I receive them thru subscription to each list, so the delay is equal to the time it takes an email to get to my servers. Once fully integrated, they will go as far back as the archives. > Last thing of note, we probably want to make a more > formal banner on the top and use the same css as the main > site (better might be to just uses the alexy/beta site's theme) What banner? Adjusting it to match the beta scheme should be trivial, I'll have a look at that. ... John

It would be nice to have a readable link to a particular thread. The current message archives have something that is useable, but the link to a thread on this system is quite unreadable. Tom, I and many other people often refer to old threads for additional information. It would help our knowledge base immensely if that were easy to do. --elein On Fri, Oct 08, 2004 at 10:50:53PM +1000, John Hansen wrote: > The forum is now functional for testing. > > http://forum.postgresql.org/ > > Input appreciated. > > ...

This is the link to a specific thread in pgsql-general from the forum is: http://forum.postgresql.org/index.php/t/6572/0/6444bc090247b11dbe080878c258a4fb/ a more readable link might be something like the old archive style: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-10/msg0004_1.php or better yet, simpler than that. --elein On Sun, Oct 10, 2004 at 12:59:38PM +1000, John Hansen wrote: > > It would be nice to have a readable link to a particular thread. > > The current message archives have something that is useable, > > but the link to a thread on this system is quite unreadable. > > > > Tom, I and many other people often refer to old threads for > > additional information.

And now the URL has a connection refused message.
