SE Future...

[kurgan]

Im only nagging because I love you...  

sort of like your mother  

[Brad]

Are people as addicted to checking for 1.3 as I am  I check at least twice a day.  I'm so pathetic

[Michael]

Re: error reporting - why not just turn it off at run-time and add an admin center option to turn a "debug mode" on/off in order to diagnose any problems?

@Webby: Your sig says your board is 1.1 and you don't have a "beta tester" title, so You wouldn't have been the first one to start inadvertently talking about something you'd never used.

[Joseph Fung]

re. error reporting, we've added it to the code already.

[kurgan]

btw. where is the yabb server located? I can see its 6 hours offset from me here in Denmark...

I it in India or russia?

just curious

[Jeff Lewis]

It's in the USA.  

[kurgan]

ahh 'PM' I was thinking in 24hr context..

on the eastcoast then?

Believe what you want to believe.  It is up and running, but not accessible for regular users.  And there were some tiny problems I had to solve, so I am waiting for the "final" v1.3.0  

If you want, I can IM you the URL so you can check it yourself.  I find this really childish though.....

Why should I say one thing and mean another ?  Just ask Jeff if you don't want to believe me  

[Michael]

Uh, what the hell? I didn't say I didn't believe you, I was just telling you what had led me to question whether or not you were using 1.3.

[Webby]

Well, that might be the problem with misinterpreting your message I guess......my English is sometimes a little buggy......and it is 00:23 AM over here  

Anyway, I am playing with beta11 on my testboard

[PabUK]

And I am playing with beta 13. There is a HUGE difference.

(Not really :p )

[Michael]

Heh, np. Looking back on my message, I think even I could have misinterpreted myself. Sorry.

I haven't really gotten to play with SE, myself, I've just used it out of the box for a couple sites I'm running, because it's so beautifully easy to setup. I'll get to it sometime; I can't restrict all my fiddling to Perl YaBB!

[Andreas]

It's possible, that i get the newest beta version from YaBB 1.3.0 as a beta tester too?

By the way, what job do the beta testers. Only test the board on his servers, or anything else?

Andreas

[Webby]

Well, why not wait a few days ?

Do you really think they will give it to anyone a few days before the release   ?

[Joseph Fung]

Sorry Andreas, but it's too late to join the Beta Testing group.  They've got a hard job and they're doing a great job.

A Beta Test has to install the release candidate on their server or host's server, and test it both in normal usage, and to check on the status of existing bugs.

They also have to be able to describe to us in minute detail what they've done to create bugs (so we can track down the relevant code areas).  It also helps if they are familiar with the code, as they can make suggestions as to where the bug is, or often give us code to fix it.
