1. EuForum Suggestion
Hello again,
It would be nice to have a 'review' page come up so that you
can check your post before it's sent. Quite a few web sites
have this now, and also include a way to correct a post
even after it's been sent ('edit post').
I think that would help to round out the EuForum very nicely.
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

Sounds great for the cases before sending.
but once it has been sent. There are those
of us that are signed up VIA email.
A changed post seems.
editied/altered/modified/inaccurate/corrupted
What is said is said. wether it be intentional or not.
It would leave some with a greater power of removal
of their contributions just because they decide
they don't want to support Euphoria anymore.
What they have contributed freely and openly at a
given time should remain free and open. This does
not mean that they should be required to maintain
and provide access to said data. But if someone
else is willing to keep and provide access to said
data it shouldn't be so easily stricten from existance
based on one persons attitudal whim.
I'll not name names of those that have done such
things already. But trust me. They are definately
out there. I can think of 2 without flinching. I'm
still in contact with both of them. But that doesn't
mean I condone their explicit removal of supporting
information that was given free of will during one
of their happier times.
Another thing to state. It really stinks when one
updates a lib and it never makes it to the contributions.
Now, don't ask me why it hasn't made it. All I know
is that I made and update.. And I am one of the original
creators of said code. It isn't just an update. But also
a bug fix. The buggy version persists and the update
isn't even known of by any other than me. That is
horrible as well.

Hi unkmar,
You're right unkmar, sometimes people delete messages and
that throws off the whole flow of the thread. That means
allowing a change would have to have a time limit, or as you
said, dont allow this.
I'd still like to see the review page however.
Im sorry to hear your update didnt make it to the
Eu archive, but i bet something went wrong and maybe
you should contact Rob, or simply try resending it again?
Hope you have better luck in the future with
your updates.

If you submit something and it doesn't appear within
about 24 hours, and you don't hear anything from RDS
about it, then please submit it again. Sometimes the
file upload will fail. Other times the e-mail
that the system sends to notify us will not come through
for some reason (spam filtering, system down, whatever).
Over 90% of the time things run smoothly.
We never quietly reject or ignore any contribution.
If we don't like it (very rare), we'll tell you.

Well, I still don't see the program I uploaded about a month ago
that lets you hack into any bank's computer system and download
wads of cash to your own account, privately and anonymously. If
they ever catch you, which is highly unlikely due to the extremely
complicated MD5 path determination algorithm I developed from
scratch one night, then all you have to say is, "Hmmmm. How'd that
get there?"
I found some bugs in it, though, so maybe it's good it didn't
make it. Like, in one case, I tried to download $20,000 to my
account, but it accidentally downloaded $200,000. I guess it
was that dang Pentium bug.
Anyway, I'll try again later after I add some more AI components.
