SE Future...

[phark]

I learned about Opera and bought the registered version back when they were at 4.0... I loved it!  It was fast, could emulate (pretty well) the other browsers and didn't have to many bugs.

When 5.0 came out, it was okay, but had more bugs and it seemed that they were selling out to advertisers.  I tried 6.0 and deleted it the same day, I think.  

I did try Mozilla a month ago or so... it was okay, about as fast as IE, but I really didn't see any benefits of it at that time.  Who knows, I probably will try it again when it gets a little older.

Netscape, I did install that not to long ago to test out some webpages, then deleted it.  I guess my biggest problem with them now is the fact that AOL ownes them, and I despise AOL.  Everything AOL touchs becomes bloated with advertisments (look at ICQ these days).  

My biggest problem with IE is the way it loads Messanger all the time.  Such as this web site...  I do *NOT* want Messanger starting up everytime I hit a web page that calls it.  I use Trillian... great program.  It supports ICQ, MSN, AIM and Yahoo messanger all in one program (It uses about 10MB of RAM) vs. 40MB that running those other four programs take running individually.  

The other problem I have with IE is the fact that it is owned my MS and is the most popular browser, thus, more hackers are concentrating on finding security holes in this browser than any other.    Other than that, its a stable browser.

phark!

well.. i checked out the new netscape and it really still isnt near the level of ie6  

i think its a little too little a little too late ... bye bye netscape. time to die

Amen!  Can I get an Amen brothers!  

To bad AOL had to destroy that organization.

Let's see ....

Jeff, thanks for your answer (how many time will I say this ??)
So, we are really close, wooww !!


For the Netscape and IE issue ... I really stopped using Netscape when I realized it was not that much compatible with Win ....

A lot of probs were there and IE just ran smooth ... even if early versions were buggy too and after launched they just became slower and slower while browsing the net ....

Now IE 6 rocks ... I know ... it can be hard for those that want to stand out ... to use this browser ... but it's good.... you can always put some other skins ...


Jeff you really worked for Nortel back when you were 18/19/20 ?? You are a genius !!


hheheh, ok, will 1.3 come out sooner if I continue saying nice things

well you can select to not install the messenger thingie, personally I use ICQ and nothing else, actually Im using gnomeIcu which works beautifully

I guess that this just shows that everybody on this board uses winblowz, fair enough I just try not to, Im very happy with Linux, and by the end of this month gnome2, Suse 8.0, KDE3.0 etc. gets released, oh yeah btw. Maya 4.5 and Shake 2.5 is just around the corner too, both apps running smoothly on Linux (actually Shake is no longer available for wblowz    )

Btw. Maya and Shake are the apps I use for a living, that is when Im not haning around on this board

Hardly  I worked with remote access users and some programming systems

I, like the rest of you have been waiting for a long time for 1.3.0 ... but I don't think it's our place to complain for waiting... heck, they're doing this FOR FREE!  

So, give them a break... it's Easter for Christ's sake!

My board has a whole bunch of bugs (my doing) and I can wait (barely =)...

now regarding the browsers... I gave up on Netscape when AOL took over (too much extra baggage), kinda like what IE does with Messenger and all the other stuff ... Opera / Mosaic, never tried... may do so though...

I also use Trillian (although it seems to be dysfunctional... ICQ and MSN both work better on their own, but I just don't want to turn on so many programs (even with 512 DDR RAM it still isn't enough, Winblows, anyway)....

I think I've touched up on everything =)... eagerly awaiting 1.3.0

The easiest way is actually to rename the msmgs.exe file to something else.  But I prefer not to do that, yet than again, I do not want it forced on me everytime I log onto a YaBB site.  That is the reason I never installed the MSN mod onto my SP1 site.  I think it is really intrusive.

Well I have been going for over 3 months with any IM service due to bugs but stll I await anxiously!

Hoping I dont have to go backwards and re-install SP1.

I love SE, But damn theres tons of new mods for sp1.

SP1 has been out for Yonks, plus SE comes with lots of pre installed mods and you dont have to worry about inter compatability.

CR if you really wish to take a step backwards then good luck but this attitude of I want it all I want it now and I want it for free is damm selfish.

Jeff  Joseph and the others have REAL LIVES too, remember this is a FREE (read YOU DONT PAY A DAMM THING) proggy.

So just get a cuppa have some patience and help the community and thus the software GROW.

It may be free but just look at how long this "just a few more bugs" and "it is packaged and ready to go for a release tomorrow" thing has been going on.

I agree with you that it is free and so forth but this has gone on for months.

DONT GIVE US FALSE HOPE PLEASE!

I reckon this thread should have never been started until about 3 days until the final planned release. Because look whats happening now, people are running out of patience, and rightly so.

Edit: If this sort of thing carries on, YaBB SE does not have a future. First rule: The customer is always right and 2) Do not play around with customers as far as "it may be out tomorrow" type thing.

[kurgan]

whats the big deal?

just install 1.1 it runs really well, sure there might be some goodies in 1.3 but 1.1 works just fine, and when its released you can just upgrade..

Who the **** do you think you are?

Er... everyone else here is patient, knowing that YaBB SE will be released soon and will be a much better release than previous versions... there's no "playing around" involved. And how can you say YaBB SE has no future? You seriously need to take a hike.
