Hi!

I've been sitting on a great domain (XoopsTraining.com) in the XOOPS niche for the past three years. I had some awesome plans for it but other things got in the way, so I'm selling up.

I've been a member here since 2002 and I have always thought the basic concept behind XOOPS is brilliant! I'm thrilled to see the 2.3.x version, it's awesome!

I'm also a perpetual lurker and haven't made many posts during the years.. I recently broke the 100 posts on another forum where I'm really active... High Score! Oh, well.

I think the domain is great and I really would like to see it ending up somewhere within the core XOOPS community.

I hope it's ok that I'm announcing it here, otherwise please move or remove this post.

I'm not going to insult you with a sales pitch, but here are the basics of the auction:
The domain is XoopsTraining.com.
I'm also giving the winner a business plan for the domain and a seo plan to get it ranked in Google for Xoops.

I'm a online marketing and seo consultant in "real" life and I sell similar seo plans to local business for min $500.

But I'm starting the auction at $1, with no reserve.

Whatever it sells for, it sells for :O

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know about it, seeing you'd appreciate it's value more than most. Let me know if you've got any questions about it. Cheers!

Hi there!

I'm putting up a couple of sites that hopefully will get a lot of visitors. In order to make the site more friendly on my cpu-usage i want to enable caching.

I know that you can have longer times between cache updates on pages/modules that get new content less frequently and really shouldn't have caching enabled on, for example, the forum.

Is there a good reason why the caching couldn't be dynamic? By that i mean let the caching be permanent, i.e. cache once, no updates. And then update the cache when new content is added.

That way its only updated when needed and it would perhaps work with the forums as well? Perhaps the forums threads could be cached separately and updated when there's a new post.

Can this be enabled easily? Hmm.. otherwise this thread perhaps should be placed in the Feature Requests forum. Mods, feel free to move it there if its more suitable.

But what do you think about my idea of dynamic caching? Is it doable? Easy? Hard? i don't know so im asking you..

Amazon Simple Storage Service is mainly for massive backup and file storage. Its not usable as webhosting at all.

This sounds great! I have a question though.

Is the code that marks topics as read or unread still based on cookies?

If it is, how about changeing it so it saves the read/unread info in the db per user? That way it works like phpbb and the messages are shown read or unead correctly even when you use lots of different computers to look at the forum.

Things needed in NewBB Core (in my opinion ):

In order of inportance:

1. New posts since last visit should be saved in the database per user instead of using cookies. With cookies it gets screwed up if you clean out your cookies or log in from another computer.

2. Group management for private forums.

3. Better moderation as mentioned erlier in this thread.

4. (While a bit of topic) Tying notification to the PM's.

Thank you!
