An example?

They implemented this function in a cervellotic way that's completely different from all others forum platform (vBullettin, phpbb, IPB and others that now I don't remember)...why? To show they're good programmers? Or are they looking for a job at OCSA? What's OCSA? Office for Complicating Simple Affair! (<- It wouldn't be offensive...I'm just jocking )

I tried to explain that for me that's a bad idea and I obtained just sarcastic answer from stupid users that refuse a constructive dialogue, and no more answers and helps about my problems in using CBB by developers!

Sorry for lenght!


Although the topic was nothing to do with CBB but "I'm really really unhappy in reading" such a comment on CBB!

1 The change for quote button has been made since CBB 2.30 for a very long time, not just recently.

2 The change was made not solely for speed. I DO wish you have read and understood my reply to your comment.

3 Even for the "1k" story for speed, I do wish you have read and understood my reply.

4 "I obtained just sarcastic answer from stupid users that refuse a constructive dialogue. " Do you think this an appropriate comment? As I replied (again!), I said we can not make a change in sudden: the change was made long time ago upon users' request, we won't change back just because of your request; the change, even if it will happen, must be made on users' preference. I DO wish you have read and understood this.

6 "no more answers and helps about my problems in using CBB by developers!" I DO wish you have read and understood my and others replies to you in that news, as well as helps for your another question about CBB's "stupid" HP/MP/Exp stuff.

I'm sure everyone who's complaining here is more than capable of re-writing the core much better than the core developers?


Your answer seems like a defense of something that you know it can't be defended and denote the absolute incapacity of stuff and developers to appreciate as constructive a critic....but I have knew it for lots of time

I'm really really happy and sotisfied in reading a similar thread!

First of all I join to this request adding that it's the only reason I dont' upgrade my site from 2.0.13.2 to 2.2

I'd like to notice that I have been against this feature since the presentation of XOOPS 2.2RC in the far past July when I tried to explain in all the ways that it's an absolutely problematic feature and advanteges, if exists, are very less than problem it can generate, but among 216 comments (most of them like "thank","great","nice work"...when now everybody know that release was one of the worse in XOOPS story!!!) my opinion was alone and I had some answers quite unpleasant from developers too!!!!

I'm happy that XOOPS users now opened their eyes on this problem and we're discussing about...maybe too much late but better than never!

I agree with gtop00 and other people that think that developers and programmers, despite their works is hard, good and to be appreciate, are farest and farest from users audience, their suggestions and, above all, in developement they are loosing a fondamentals point of wiev: XOOPS is not a script that have to reach a supreme perfection but a CMS that have to be used with seplicity from users before than webmasters and coders, and, if they want to continue to give their competence in this project, they should accomplish with users request too, even if their proposal go in a different direction.


Unfortunately I have no specific competence but I try to be useful for community in 2 ways: translating modules for Italian community (for example CBB 3.0 is already ready) and expressing my opinion here, even if is againt all

An example?
