The Pub / XenForo wins
« on February 28th, 2013, 07:39 PM »
Probably off-topic here, but imho still worth to mention:
http://gracelaw.com/NewsXF.html
In short words, XenForo has apparently won the battle. The case has been dismissed after the parties reached a confidential settlement. The public will most likely never learn about the details of the settlement, but the statement by gracelaw implies that Xf will remain an independent entity and IB has no further way to harm their business.
The case was dismissed with prejudice, basically meaning it's over. Once and forever.
These are bad days for IB/vB. First, they lost the Wikitravel case, then came the disaster with vB going "gold" (imho, it's not even iron in its current state :) ) and now this.

Archived fixes / Theme selector broken + more...
« on July 30th, 2012, 11:24 AM »
First, is the Wuthering sub-skin supposed to look like in the screenshot? The dark grey does look a bit off :)
But, I would simply change to another theme *if* the theme selector in the side bar would let me... Tried to switch to another theme and ended up with an empty page under the url http://wedge.org/?http://wedge.org/theme=1 or something more weird like http://wedge.org/?http://wedge.org/theme=1_c2tpbnM=
The empty page is probably a result of some error not displayed - maybe it's just in the log.
Side note: switching themes in the profile does seem to work.

You get the following when your new password is too short..Quote Nothing dramatic, just a visual anomaly, changing the password still works.
The following errors occurred when trying to save your profile:
Your password must be at least %1$d characters long..

Off-topic / To fork or not to fork - in other words: Hi :)
« on August 10th, 2011, 06:19 PM »
Short story: first of all, I'm here because Nao invited me to join.
Long story:
Many, many years ago, I was semi-active in the SMF community and released a theme for SMF 1.0 (yes, one point zero :) ) Later, I became occupied with other open source projects and basically stopped doing stuff for SMF, but my own forum was always running with SMF - many years with 1.0.x and I never bothered upgrading to 1.1, mainly because I had no time and 1.0 was working fine. When 2.0 became apparent, I decided to port the SMF AQUA theme I'd released years before for 1.0 but quickly lost interest after seeing all the bad things happening over at the SMF community. At this time, SMF's future didn't exactly look bright, so I stopped my work on the theme - nobody really wants to invest lots of time into a project threatened by extinction :)
About a year and a half later...
About 2 weeks ago, I started to play around with the 2.0 code base, realizing that it's now BSD licensed and there is no longer the risk of a dying project. Code is out, open sourced and this will never change, so it's safe to use it as a base.
I started with some work on the curve theme which I plan to rewrite completely, aiming for modern browsers (= HTML 5, jQuery, CSS3, IE8 minimum) adding a few Ajax features and a couple of relatively minor features.
Right now, I cannot exactly say which direction it will take. For the first part, it will stay closer to the SMF code base than Wedge, simply because I fear I don't have enough time for major changes in the core. Maybe later...
I plan to concentrate mostly on the end-user experience and adding a few (small) features of which I believe should be part of the core.
For the curios: Forum is here and it always runs on the current code, so it may change and break on a daily base and sometimes it may not even work at all. Since the forum is not very active (most of the old support boards for my other open source project(s) are now read only for quite some time and only there for reference), I can break it whenever I want :)
So yes, this is another project that qualifies as a SMF fork and it was only a couple of days ago, when I became aware of Wedge after Nao joined my site. We quickly figured that neither myself nor him knew about each other's project and I was a bit surprised for how long yours already exists.
