1)The downloads between mods.postnuke.com postnuke.com themes.postnuke.com blocks.postnuke.com and sourceforge should somehow be synchronised... I had this problem a long time ago with phpnuke...
The modules, blocks,themes, core files exist not only here, but on various developer sites --- it's too damned chaotic and I'm sure many people are overlooking terriffic modules, themes, blocks, etc...
if mods.postnuke is supposed to be the central repository, reorganize the categories... They are obtuse at best... A good example of categories is hotscripts.com/PHP/
We should have more precision here -- it's getting hard to find anything on mods, themes, blocks, etc.... and then I have to go to some of the other developer sites, register.... come on guys....
All files should be warehoused on postnuke and it's canonicals... the file databases should be synchronised to assist he newbies and the busy webmaster... hone down the categories, make them relevant... we're pitching in the majors now....
mods.postnuke should in theory be similar to testnuke.com and be running working current copies of all current modules...
Once Mantis has been ported or sourcewell, then the module/theme/block designer would be setup for that module... he'd get his email notice of bug reports, he could fix them easier - - not all of us have time to go through sourceforge to read the bug reports, set up an account, use win-cvs - hell, a lot of these guys don't know or care what cvs is... the end product would be much better...
In short, I love the product, y'all are doing great.. but stop being such geeks - - many answers found on the site are geared towards technichal people --- not all users / members here are technical --- stop talking jargon and technical --- enough of you have done tech support before and should know better!!!!
We've got a great technical product -- now, let's work on making the experience of using and administering it more friendly...
AOL didn't win their millions of customers by being obtusely technical -- they went for the lowest common denominator...
and one final note.... have done fresh installs of both 7X version pn maintenence releases -- is it just me or do the http: referers no longer work?????? I have 4 sites, 3 upgrades, 1 fresh install and none of them log referers any more!!!!
ok, done ranting...
keep up the good work!
