So what was the sense of your posting in this context then?
The reason for the "Headshot Database" being off-site have nothing in common with the reasons that dav4is named for keeping his project off-site. ??? I do not understand your question. It seems so obvious to me... I summarize : dav4is : - I'll implement a new feature and put it outside invelos' site many users : - It will not work if you put it outside of invelos' site surfeur51 : - It can work : look at headshots databases that are outside the site and work correctly... The reasons for which features are or aren't off-site have strictly no importance... | | | | Images from movies |

Improving the program is one of my goals, of course.
The Abstracts has a narrower goal: an aid to all Feature Requests Forum users, which they -- and you -- are free to use, or not, at their whim. History tells me that you will have a narrow audience to go along with that narrow goal. Quote:
I will require a lot more convincing to put it on a Forum. The atmosphere is just too rowdy there.
And by convincing, I don't mean threats; I mean reasons why it would be better there. Why it would be more useful there. It would be better here because this is where most people come for DVDP Feature Requests. It would be more useful here because people, for whatever reason, prefer to have their information all in one place. The more clicks you need to get to it, the fewer people will bother. Quote:
Whether Ken decides to look at it or not is only a part of the issue. Now this doesn't make any sense to me. Ken is the only one who can impliment a Feature Request. If he won't visit your abstract list, what good is it? That is a serious question by the way, I am not trying to be patronizing. Quote:

Ah, you noticed that ?? 
That would not be the first time a useful file would not be hosted by Invelos. We share our headshots databases outside of this site, and it works perfectly... This is slightly misleading. While the actual file is hosted on another site...which makes sense as there is no way to include a file in a forum post...the Headshot Database thread is hosted here on the forums. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Not quite the same thing as there's a thread, on-site, which links are posted in whenever there's a new headshot collection people want to share.
This tool may also have a link in a specifical thread. I really think it's quite the same. | | | | Images from movies |

Yes, That is exactly what I said a page before... True, but I didn't read to the very last post before I responded...and, no, it is not the same. The headshot file can NOT be hosted here because it is a zip file. People who want that information will follow the link because they have no other choice. The abstract thread CAN be hosted here, dav4is has simply chosen not to do so. That is, of course, his decision to make but it is not the same situation. The norm for this site, and most sites I am aware of, is to have the reference threads 'stickied' in the forums they pertain to. There is a reason for that. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I like the concept, do not care for the "centered" design, though. I find it hard to read. Headings, get lost. Can you make the script parse topics to filter out those that are not actually a FR? - Support issues. - Newbie questions. - Website discussions. - Other crap! Can you create somekind of categories from the topics? E.g. - DVD Profiler - - [every window, function in DVDP] - My Profiler - Master Database |

I'm not sure what you mean by "centered design"? re headings: I can make them slightly larger. Would that help? Quote:

This might be do-able. I'll look into it. I'm also going to split out the CSS specifications as a separate file. That will make formatting revisions (such as the title, mentioned above), easier. | | | -R.

I'm not xyrano, but I assume he means that the text is centered inside each cell (as well as the paragraphs above the main table) instead of left aligned.

KM Hmm... The only text that is centered is the lines in green, reading "The original forum topics..." and the small ine below that tells the topic count and date. The text above that has very wide margins, but is left aligned within those margins. Everything else is also left aligned, within their table columns. Perhaps you have a browser problem?

Either try to make it operable in the INVELOS FORUMS or give it a rest already..... Why is it so important that it be in an INVELOS forum? It certainly couldn't be in its present form -- i.e. as an HTML file, with all the formatting. And, as I have said, the environment is just too rowdy for my taste. What is wrong with it where it is? Yes, a link from, say, the heading of the FR forum, would be a plus but, given that, why must it be hosted on INVELOS? | | | -R.
