In the rules is clearly stated that the default forum search engine lacks functionality. Therefore we link to Google, which does allow these kinds of keywords. The discussion threads are easily found, I didn't think I would need to link to it.plino wrote:To Sasquatch
You are clearly confusing me with some kid/troll.
I did search the forum *before* I registered. It was because I couldn't find an answer that I had to register and post.
(BTW the search engine does NOT accept 3.0.6 as a keyword)
Thank you for assuming I didn't search and for pointing me to the Forum Rules instead of the "Discussion topic of the 3.0.6 release"
Back to 3.0.4

Re: Feedback & comment to the Administrators and Moderators
just registered new account. i'm an OSX user, and your required field for host OS gives me only choices "OS X Leopard" and "OS X Other". since the current OS is now snow leopard, maybe a good idea to add that to the select list? :)

Re: Feedback & comment to the Administrators and Moderators
We had a similar discussion in our separate Moderators Team forum about that. Check the whole list, you won't see the latest Linux distribution listed either (no Ubuntu Jaunty, no Fedora 11, etc.). They added the 'Other' entry to kinda solve it.lydia413 wrote:just registered new account. i'm an OSX user, and your required field for host OS gives me only choices "OS X Leopard" and "OS X Other". since the current OS is now snow leopard, maybe a good idea to add that to the select list?

There are 10.3, 11.0 and 11.1 folders there. Check http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/ and see for yourself. It's possible you were looking at it while they were still populating that location.etam wrote:Bug:

Re: Feedback & comment to the Administrators and Moderators
Hi, I just registered and was searching the forums for a specific USB crash problem, but the term USB didn't produce any results, though the term does appears in posts. Is this too common a term or am I missing something?

The standard phpBB search ignores words with 3 characters or less. As vbox4me2 suggests (and as suggested in the FPG), google search is far betterrenniks wrote:... but the term USB didn't produce any results, though the term does appears in posts.

Re: Feedback & comment to the Administrators and Moderators
I discovered today that there's a limit of 128K on the size of any attachment to a forum message, though I haven't yet hit a limit on the number of attachments. Is there any possibility that the 128K per-file limit could be increased, perhaps replaced with a total space limit for all attachments together?
The 128K per file limit is irksome because it meant that I had to split a zip file into two parts, and I see that the download counts on the two parts is different, meaning some people are going to be somewhat confused (despite my drawing attention in two places that they needed to download both parts... sigh).

Re: Feedback & comment to the Administrators and Moderators
You're lucky you had only 3 attachments, as that's the limit. 3 x 128 K is not much. I understand why there is a limit, the hard drive of the OS running this board would fill up fast and render the forums unusable (not even a post can be made). Unfortunately, only admins can change these settings.

I quite understand why there's a limit too, but it's still a pain in this case!

Re: Feedback & comment to the Administrators and Moderators
Ideally we would have separate limits for the different groups and a larger one for volunteers, but the issue is that we want to keep the (ab)use of attachments to a minimum to control disk usage in the VM that runs the forum. The main use is for attaching screenshots and this limit is fine for this. We should have a separate repository for those who are developing user community programs, but still uploadable through an attachment-style interface, so we can authenticate such uploads. Let me think about this. It's something that we could add in our phpBB V3.0.6 upgrade which is coming soonish.mpack wrote:I discovered today that there's a limit of 128K on the size of any attachment to a forum message.
In the meantime there is nothing to stop you uploading the zip / msi files to your own website and including a URL link.
