As one of the many people who have paid for Aeva, it wouldn't overly bother me if you made 2.0 "pro" free at this juncture. I know full well what has happened to stop further Aeva/SMF development and support. It may just get you more shouty-types who fail to notice that there's no support at this time though.

Well, a suggestion that may make things worse rather than better, but... A new poll, with one representative from each of the most recent "family"s of designs (three or four should be easy enough given your output Nao), and then use the result as a jump-off point for further refinement. (And... /me runs away and hides :ph34r:)

Plugins / Re: I just had a sad thought.
« on January 16th, 2012, 06:33 PM »
I think I'm getting the hang of writing hideously sarcastic FAQ entries now...
Q. How do I parse add-ons to facilitate installs?
A. You don't. This isn't SMF and you don't have to fight against add-ons to install them. The Plugin Manager takes care of all that back end file editing poop you had to deal with in SMF.
Q: But what happens if I want to do a manual install?
A: You'll never need to do a manual install. We've spent a lot of time (and blood, sweat and a few tears) making sure that you never have to dirty your hands editing the core to get add-ons installed. Rejoice!
Q: But...
A: Look, if you're so desperate to manually install, download the plugin to your computer, unpack the zip, upload it to a new folder inside Plugins/ and just visit the plugin page, but come on, you *really* don't need to install add-ons by hand any more. It's the 21st century, let the machines look after themselves.
Q: But what about theme edits on my custom themes?
A: The plugin manager can't make custom theme edits, so no parsing required.
Q: But what about edits that conflict?
A: The plugin manager can't make file edits, so no parsing required.
Q: But isn't that a bit limited?
A: Well, yes, but it's the lesser of two evils. You can either have a system that's infinitely flexible and by result, infinitely fragile (SMF), or something with a few rules and regulations that's stable (Wedge). You can't have it both ways.

FAQ entry:-

A. You don't.
Feel free to edit that down if it's a bit too wordy for you... ^_^

Off-topic / Re: Boycott GoDaddy
« on January 13th, 2012, 06:27 PM »
Have never used GoDaddy (nor would I, I have had a Dyn account for I don't know how long, and they get all my personal registrations) but I support all efforts to stop SOPA/PIPA in the US, and here in the EU, I think PECR needs to die a death.

Plugins / Re: Plugin copyrights in the footer
« on January 13th, 2012, 11:09 AM »
Agree entirely (and with your footnote). Have a credits/legal/whateveryouwanttocallit page that contains all that [crap] and keep the footer as clean (and brief) as can be.

Off-topic / Apache rewrite assistance
« on January 6th, 2012, 03:52 PM »
Any Apache rewrite gurus out there willing to offer a (for you) easy bit of assistance?
Situation is this, I have a VPS which has a couple of listening V hosts and IP addresses (for argument's sake; host.domain.com and domain.com, which go to 1.2.3.4 and 2.3.4.5 respectively), and a mailman install (on 1.2.3.4) which for no reason I can fathom has it's webpage URLs all set to domain.com (not where mailman is). I've checked all the mailman conf files and they rightly have the correct webpage host of host.domain.com set, so lord knows why it's started handing out domain.com URLs (and yes, I'm going to get my VPS support folks to explain that one to me if they can), but in the mean time we've got mail stacking up in mailman for moderation that we can't do anything with. Quickest solution I can think of (given it all goes via Apache) is to set up a rewrite to trap this and fix it on the fly; unfortunately, I don't know rewrite all that well.
So, can someone help out with a rewrite set that will spot "domain.com/mailman/*" and rewrite it to "host.domain.com/mailman/*"?

Off-topic / Re: I couldn't sleep
« on December 13th, 2011, 10:59 AM »I'm probably a shade younger than you by the sounds of things but it's what I learned to program on too; it wouldn't be until 1990 that we were able to afford something more powerful than a Spectrum... then I discovered the joys of Amigas.

Ah, the Speccy... Machine I learned to program on (ooh! That gives away my age...). Didn't really like the rubber keyboard on them, and still dislike short-throw keyboards to this day. Can honestly say I looped JetPac though :eheh:

Yup. Folders (albums) all owned by www-data and 0755 (as per you and Nao's advice to others on Noisen) while the uploads were owned by nobody, hence b0rkage. Changed Apache back to www-data (in httpd.conf) and restarted and everything is hunkey dorey again.
