ARGH! I did not like this past weekend's episode.
Actually, with the exception of a few lines and a few secenes, I have been disappointed in the entire 2nd half of the season.
I was so looking forward to Clara. I loved her in the Dalek episode... she was amazingly frenetic and interesting in the snowmen episode... and now she's blah... they haven't made this incarnation at all interesting, Even her tiff with the Tradis is only mildly entertaining...
ARGH ARGH ARGH BLECH!

It was somehting along the lines of "hang on..." as the Doctor cotinued to walk on through the market. But they never let her finish her objection.
I don't know if they retconned anything... he said that he had no family - but all the timelord were destroyed, so perhaps he was being completely honest while not telling the whole truth.
Maybe, with this reference as a hint, we'll finally find out what happened to the granddaughter between leaving Hartnell and the timewar...

personally, I thought the episode was meh....
my favorite line was "yes, I was here once with my grand daughter.." (mostly because of Clara's response - which never got expanded on, unfortunately.

AH! The one with all the LOST episodes. That explains it. I never watched much of the few espisodes that still exist for that doctor (I disliked Jamie and the doctor of that regeneration)
I have to say though, Matt Smith is growing on me as the doctor. I wasn't thrilled with him to start...

Finally got to watch the epsiode.... interesting.
I didn't like Clara in this episode as much, though.... She seemed...... less interesting (I guess that's the best way to describe it)
question:
I vaguely remember something called the great intelligence... but can not, for the life of me, pinpoint it.
Which doctor faced it before?

Hmmm... Its a stretch, comparing his mod to SMF... Mostly because the mod had no oversight, SMF does.
However, you d have some points...
As for Norv... You have it wrong, I understand everything that she has said. I just disagree with just about everything.

rotfl... that would have been me.
and yes.. people are stupid.
I treat smart, normal and stupid people the same way... :P
However, I don't think that anyone has been "treated like shit" by SMF
(yes, Arantor, I know, you have something to say about that, but there' no need to bring all that up - he's talking about "smf customers" so PPPBBBTTTTHHH :P)
I will also note: I believe that most of the team actually are Americans..

rotflmao...
it's really funny that you compare SMF to for-profit/corporations, since that is supposedly what drove Norv away.
However, this issue here with Lab's mod and the response to Arantor's analysis is not actually an SMF problem. It is a problem with a specific individual and his reaction to criticism. This is unrelated to any larger issues at or with SMF.
As for issues at SMF....
oracle - we all know that there is a problem - Arantor and some others have made statements about what they think the problem is. Some of them (not Arantor) have even made demands as to what they feel we MUST do. The fact is that some of the rest of us disagree about the specifics of the problem (not that there is a problem, but we disagree on the factors and potential resolution).
As for your comment about mailboxes, Arantor... (as I said: ..."public comments are the only place ***I*** have seen any discussion on this...." I can only react to what was done publicly. I have no idea which other team members may have jumped on your for your comments... but I thought they were fairly presented, myself. Then again, I'm the same, blunt, sort of guy.

well, Arantor... do what you must/will...
However, public comments are the only place I have seen any discussion on this... There is no discussions (that I am aware of_ on the team boards - so that thread (which I was not even really paying attention to until it got flagged) and this one is the only place I have seen any comments for or against your comments. So Colin, Lab and VBgamer felt that your comments were an attack... I don't think that anyone else did - and the PM and Server Admin for SMF both came out and said that.
You have to admit - you are a troublemaker (and you enjoy the role! :P) -- Which is not to say you did anything wrong, mind you... I think that you comments were objectively presented and should have been taken as such. But you have to admit that you KNEW exactly what the reaction was going to be when you posted it. :P
(please note the smileys above, this is not an attack or even a criticism, just a comment in my usual blunt and/or sarcastic tone)

It wasn't meant as tongue in cheek... I wasn't aware of Kays version...
There were a bunch of issues with Lab's free version that he passed off by saying "they are all fixed in the pro version" (so I don't want to use that as a starting point.
(and yes, if I do make my own or make improvements, I would always share them. I am not in favor of making paid mods)
that being said: Please note: Only one team member "closed ranks" with Lab that I could see. (Colin)
Runic and CoreISP seem to have stated the case very clearly without attacking either Labradoodle or Arantor
everyone else is pretty much staying out of it.

Actually, VBgamer has been a lot more laid back lately... He's made apologies to a lot of people (I think he did so for you and Nao as well Arantor, didn't he?). :)
As for the menu mod. Thanks for the review.
I m managing two sites now where the actual admins are clueless when it comes to coding and I was considering buying the mod to simplify MY life (and allow the admins to mess with the menu)
However, based on your review, I don't think I'll bother.
I think I'll just have to write my own with a moderately quick.dirty interface....
I mean, it;s not that hard...
rename the subs.php array - so the system stops using it
(hmmm.... can I stop the system from displaying the menu array and replace it using hooks?)
read the array and compare it against the database
add anything that doesn't already exist to the database list..
then read out the database list into the originally named menu array.
interface... fields for
Set menu order
set menu title
set menu link
open as new tab or same tab
icon for menu item
sub-menu?
conditionals for appearance
did I miss anything
As for your comments on SMF... I definitely agree that SMF devs need to be held to the HIGHEST standard for coding mods (and for coding SMF itself)
I didn't see your comment on SMF... and, if it was reported, the modertion was closed before I got to looking.
