Title: New home for phpDVDProfiler
Post by: DJ Doena on August 28, 2013, 10:09:18 AM
Hi guys,

just so you know, I'm planning on adding a few new forums for the support of phpDVDProfiler in the next weeks.

Their original home is here: http://dvdaholic.me.uk/forums/index.php

The problem is that Fredlooks is not the admin of that site. A few weeks ago mediadogg from the Invelos forums tried to register there. Since he had problems getting past the security questions I also registered a second test account there. We finally managed to give the right answer but the accounts still need be be approved by the admin. And he seems to have gone AWOL. I don't know if the admin is on a prolonged vacation and is about to return shortly or if he just lost interest.

Anyway, as I said, I intend to add a couple of support forums in a new section of this board. :)

Andy (ajm) seems to have lost interest quite a while back. While he obviously hasn't shut down the site, he also seems to barely visit (if at all, I haven't checked) and also obviously is to doing his admits ration duties. You should not expect him to return.

I hope he is well, whatever he is doing now.


Have you talked to Fred about this? If he doesn't have one, I might be able to look up an old e-mail address for Andy, so you guys could at least let him know that things are moving on.

EDIT:
Now I have looked. He has not logged in since December 2012. His phpDVDprofiler shows the latest watched event in January 2013.

Yeah, I did not build a new phpDVDProfiler forum without consulting Fred first. ;)

The problem seems to be that ajm doesn't approve new registrations which stops mediadogg from downloading the software (only registered users see the files).

Only after posting did I see that Fred is moderator in this section, at which point I fully understood. In fact, I had accessed all threads from the front page, so I hadn't noticed yet that I was indeed in a new section...

Like I said, Andy was even absent for the last nine months, so obviously also no admin duties in that time.

Is it normal, that the posts in these new forums do not appear in the "unread posts since last visit" list?

Now it should. Thanks for the hint
