Hello every one, thought i would toss up a post and give a little update as to whats going on with the forum extension.
No, i have not forgot about the project 
Like said in other threads, i have a large project with my home; building an addition and doing it all by my lonesome - so that leaves me little time to do any thing else.
For the last few months, with the little free time i did/do have, ive been trying to "learn" linux (Ubuntu dist.). While doing this ive come too see that it will help out with the forum. While learning some simple scripting (mainly Perl) to automate tasks in Ubuntu, ive come to see that these tools will help updating the forum much, much easier and leave less room for error. The scripts which ive been writing will not effect you, just make my life a little easier, and for the most part they are done. While creating these scripts there will be a change to the language portion of the forum, that change will require a bit of work to the forum code and im starting that right now.
So... the forum is not forgotten and im preparing for the long furture of it, so please be patient 
Hopefully in a month or so there will be a new update with a couple fixes, a few more bugs, finished options along with a couple new features.
Thanks to all who have stuck around and welcome to all new users.

update
|
Over the last few days i started to work on SQLite support for the Forum extension (there have been acouple people asking abuot it and it also seams that SQLite is becoming more popular).
Once the SQLite is working, there will be a final Beta Release (a newsletter will be sent out to everyone) which will have a few more FIX's and finish off all non-working AdminCP options.

After getting SQLite support working (SQLite will be introduced in the next beta release), i desided to try and get PostgreSQL working, which is gonna take alittle work.
Because of short-sightedness on my part, alot of SQL queries through-out the forums code will have to be changed. This is something which i have started, but its gonna take awhile.
So... its gonna be a little while before the next beta will be released.

After hours of changes and trouble shooting, the forum will installing to the following databases, MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL.
There is still alot more work to do before the forum functions with PostgreSQL, working on that now.
