QBASIC.COM gone?

Yes, but that is their problem. I guess having an open chat forum would create problems. We had people using proxy servers to create problems at N54.

Also you might want to join the Top 50 list at QbasicStation Mark. Jack is doing the list himself. All you have to do is add some code to your main page.

Good job,

Ted

I think the login system is based on cookies and sessions, so you should stay logged in as long as you haven't cleared out your browser's cookies. I think some cookies have a ttl (time to live) too, but I'm not sure how long Wordpress' are. Sorry.

As for clicking the Chat thing to login, I could change the chat link to http://www.qbasic.com/chat/flashchat.php and then you'd go straight to the chat room if you're already logged in. The only problem would be people who are not logged in, or don't have an account.

How long can you be logged in for? It would be nice to see your status, although I only see an option to Logout or Admin there, so I assumed I was still logged in.

Now, when I log in to chat, I see a Login button and a place to Login with a password. Since I am already logged on, I can just click Login and not fill in the Login information. That might confuse some chatters. Better if it just said "Chat" instead of Login if you are logged in.

I moved the "meta" section right below "about". Is that prominent enough or did you have something else in mind?

Point taken. I should change where the register and login links are found.

Not perfect

2008-12-04T12:24:30-05:00

I had trouble finding the Login and Register links. Doesn't tell you your login status and actually how long can you be logged in?

I think the links should be in the top bar. I joined yesterday. Chat worked ok though I was by myself there.

I have an idea for you to ponder Mark. Could you set up a QB programming chat area on the new server site?

Our chat area at N54 now requires membership in R group and does not work well. Often chat is lost in the conversations there so you have to retype them. If you want to try, we can get Pete to link back to it.

I can install FlashChat right now. It's a quite powerful chat system. Give me a day to set it up and see if it's integrable with Wordpress.

This chatroom has been shared between QB sites for over ten years:

http://www.petesqbsite.com/sections/qbchat/qbchat.shtml

Maybe use that one with an upgraded chat client?

Is there anyone else who'd like to write editorials for QBasic.com?

You do not need me now because QBasic.com is now number two on Google for QBasic. I could never work with an editor but you have done well, thanks.

Well it's not a "moderator" type thing. It's a "contributor". Blogs are like newspapers, except smaller. Normally blogs have one editor-in-chief (myself) and multiple writers contributing articles (that have to be reviewed before being published to the front page). I get emails when there's articles to review.

I have not registered on the new site yet, I was frightened you might make me super moderator again lol. Thinking it over, my suggestion was not a good one as I can be a bit contentios at times.
