I request u to give each member the capability to edit *his own messages * after it has been posted in the forum.

There once was the capability until someone who shall remain mentionless went back through all of the topics and made his posts contain nothing. Thus, everyone who logged in afterwards was greeted with a few 100 new messages.

Perhaps this could be reinstated due to the newish thread-locking abilities ... or perhaps only allow people to edit their own messages for a certain amount of time after posting ... 30mins? an hour? This would surely cull any abuse of the feature.

in that case add a message to the posts edited, so everyone can see a post was modified. otherwise it's a good idea :)

Or keep it unlocked until another post is made on the forum.

I've added the ability for non-moderators to edit their messages for a while after posting. It's currently set to 10 minutes in these forums. Admins can tweak it on a per-forum basis.

Gee thanks.

And, Sphinx, though u didnt mention who that was,I have a sneaky suspicion as to who that will be **giggle**

It's not exactly a big secret...

If gian edits anyone's messages again, just let me know, and he'll be fed to the wolves.

At this point I'd like to mention LOL!

I actually had a completely different person in mind....!!!!!

Oh come on... I haven't done that in so long and it was far too tempting for my mortal spine...

The wolves look hungry. :-O

"Oh come on... I haven't done that in so long and it was far too tempting for my mortal spine..."

You just deleted one of my posts in this thread, between

"It's not exactly a big secret... "

and

"If gian edits anyone's messages again, just let me know, and he'll be fed to the wolves."

Yup, I'm deleting any bickering.

You're deleting my ability to defend myself

I deleted gian's insult as well. Just drop it and we can all live in peace.

I'm stopped... I promise...

No. Dont stop. Go on. It is interesting....

And again. Plz have a look at the answer sections of the FAQ. It looks too congested. There is no line spacing between the answers from two different induviduals.

There is in Mozilla and IE. Get a new browser if it doesn't work for you. :P

Ogey. I just checked with Netscape, and things look fine.
Sorry dudes. Opera just aint displaying things properly.

The blue line on the left side of the screen runs through the boxes on the left in Konqueror 2.2...3.0 probably doesn't have this problem (I can't say for sure since Debian hasn't releaded KDE 3 packages yet)

Use a "real" browser. :) (Although, my support for Mozilla is quickly fading.)

"Sorry dudes. Opera just aint displaying things properly."

Please find me a page that Opera _does_ display correctly!

Hey! Konqueror is a real browser. It is much superior to Mozilla because it uses less RAM and has a lot better CSS support (Konqueror 3 supports all but 3 or 4 CSS2 elements and all of CSS1 [somewhere around there]). It's also really flexible (e.g. khtml doesn't know where a file is--it uses ioslaves and just reads files whether they be on the local fs, ftp, webdav, http, etc). Even with galeon, Konqueror renders faster for me. Plus KDE 3 compiled with GCC 3.1 is supposed to be _really_ fast (as on one or two second starts of Konqueror on a 600Mhz p3).

I still think that Konqueror is too much like IE in the "Hey, I'm a file browser and a web browser!" respect. The two just don't go together...
And unless you are really pushed for RAM, then the difference between Mozilla and Konqueror is not even recognisable.

I don't see why file browser and web browser don't mix. In fact, I think it's a credit to Microsoft that they made the adress bar a common feature. I mean, I often type a directory name into my IE address bar, it's just easy.

Yup, I'll have to agree with unknown_lamer and sphinX here.. Konqueror is a very nice browser indeed. I first heard about from a friend, and I thought "Oh great, another browser", but after trying it I had to admit that it's *the* best browser on Linux, atleast of the ones I've tried. :)

Konqueror is not a file manager or a web browser. It uses KParts to basically do anything. Prorotocls (e.g. file:// or http://) are handled using KIO. For a really interesting usage of Konqueror, go to audiocd://...if you have an audio cd in your /dev/cdrom device (you can change this using kcontrol) you will see a listing of all of its tracks (if you are on the net it will have looked up the CDDB info too). There are also wav, mp3, and ogg dirs that you can just drag and drop the file out of to have the audiocd ioslave rip, encode, and tag the files. The filenames can be customized in the audiocd ioslave's kcontrol panel. Think of Konqueror more as a generic program that can do anything as long as there is an ioslave or KPart for it (it can also read any files that KOffice can read, any images that the image library can read, any sound files that noatun can read, videos, etc).

unknown_lamer >> So, in an abstract way it's the same idea as Emacs, except Konqueror is more module-based and graphical, while Emacs is less graphical, but more powerful?

Sort of. Emacs is a Lisp machine whereas Konqueror is basically a flexible app that load plugins to do the real work. So basically Konqueror is just a well designed program (that shows what you can do with a well designed system like KDE/Qt).
