No legal move enforcement, however i've been convinced that this is a necessary feature and will include it in the vb 4 version of this product (and provide a backport to this version)

Thanks. We will try the next release and comment :D

EDITORIAL COMMENT BELOW:

OBTW, we are not going to upgrade to vB 4.0.

We have not found the recent Jelsoft upgrades to add much value, so please make sure your next major release also works with the older versions like 3.7 and 3.8, please. Thanks. We will not upgrade to 4.0 anytime soon, unless there is a "killer app" in the release, and we have not found any of the releases over the past few years to have any "killer app" and they simply cause us a lot of work with little to no benefits :(

Speaking of YUI and jQuery, please do not hard code your static content like Javascript and images into your mod. (Not that you have... I don't recall).

In other words, please make your mod "CDN Friendly" (Content Delivery Network Friendly), like YUI. We serve our JS and images from a CDN.

Some coders hard code the paths to these scripts and images into their PHP code, which makes it hard to serve the static content via a CDN. Our CDN currently serves around 110 GB per week;

Code:

Last Week Data Trans: 110.33 GB 

Last Week Total Hits: 21,451,665 

Last Week Hits/sec: 35

We have used both Amazon CloudFront and SimpleCDN Mirror Bucket. Because of the features of SimpleCDN, we ported from CF to SimpleCDN, FYI.

The idea is to move the mod to a more MVC design approach where it'll be possible to load/unload the modules required for the features. Some or all of the improvments will then get backported into this mod.

As for vb4, I myself was 50/50 on upgrading, but having seen a small snippet of the code in darrens blog, feel as a developer it'll be worth upgrading.

Currently, the image paths are controlled by settings however teh javascript is hardcoded into the template. This is something that I intend to change, however for the time being its easy enough to copy the none dynamic parts (eg the function defs) to a separate file and include it in the page if you need to.

PS: It does not work to argue with our users when they don't like something. They are smart enough to know what they like and don't like. Most board-jockeys learn early that listening to their members/users is the key to success.

As long as you're not giving into the whim of every user who doesn't anything all of the time. With 80k users, the vocal majority aren't necessarily larger then the group that's doing just fine.

When you do put in the "forced rules" option, if it's at all feasible, would you provide an option to turn enforcement off? Thanks.

Wow! That's a huge leap in thinking to go from "listening to users" to "giving into the whim of every user" LOL.

Carnage has already stated (repeatedly), it will be an option.

I haven't been reading this thread up until this most recent update. So I wouldn't have caught any repeated statements.

It's a fine line that can very easily be crossed. Users can want a lot of things, that doesn't instantaneously mean it's a good idea. The best ideas in history have always been the ones that nobody ever new they wanted.

When I try to post a move on the game in my chess forum, I get this message:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

Anyone know what is causing that and how I can fix it? Thanks.
