In reply to: Post Save or Publish Times OutOk, try to comment out like 133 (starts with “add action …”) and see if that improves performance. That line tells the plugin to go through your post to find keywords on edit_post.

In reply to: Post Save or Publish Times OutThanks for your comment Lorelle (I am not a regular on WP forums anymore … no time). I will install WP 1.5 and try t replicate your problems, although at this time I don’t see how my plugin could be the culprit. If anyone has any ideas please share.

In reply to: Connect to MySQL using wp-config valuesNevermind, I was using an old pre-1.2 script. 1.2.1 uses constants in wp-config.

In reply to: 1.3a4 thoughsHehe, this is just my opinion and everyone is free to ignore it ??
It is still easy to overwrite edited files just as before. wp-sidebar etc. come with WordPress and there is nothing there to stop you from overwriting them, unless you change their names or move them elsewhere. I did this with 1.2 a few times (forgetting abt wp-comments.php a few times) and now there are even more files to keep track of.
I actually make more changes to my index.php and plugin files than to my css, which is left alone until the next overhaul and that doesn’t happen very often. There is no way to avoid editing the “common” files, that is unless you stick with WP default theme … so I don’t see your point about removing them. So sidebar/footer/index.php should def. be in the “common” list as it would be incredibly inconvenient to access them manually and especially since that is the new default structure. I can already see a lot of posts on “How do I change my sidebar/footer etc.?”
In any case, the current layout for “presentation/layout/themes” is counterintuitive in my opinion and I hope it’s changed before 1.3 is out … which is precisely why I am voicing my opinion now rather than bitching about it after 1.3 is released.
Themes are a nice addition for people that like that kind of thing, but there is a plugin that does that and it was never difficult to implement. But then again, I am not big on changing my theme very often … my site has been around for a year and I changed the theme four times, may be.
The upload button location issue is again counter intuitive since it is an integral part of the write/compose process (you can’t upload to wp-images etc. to modify you layout), so its sole purpose is to include images/media in posts … again, why is it elsewhere then. But I suppose you hear me on this, so I shouldn’t have to repeat myself.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Stats Plugin like pMachinePage rendered, no. of posts, no. of comments/trackbacks are easily achieved with existing WP plugins. The other are more specific to pMachine, such as no. of members logged in etc., but I am sure they can be done for WP as well … just don’t see the point.

In reply to: Why I Hate GmailRediff has been around for a while, but have horrible uptime stats and quite a few people block the domain because a little too much spam originates from there (this may have changed; I don’t know). Ah, I see they finally got a ToS … again 1Gb is not the holy grail.

In reply to: Why I Hate GmailGmail is working fine here. I did experience some downtime when Akamai went down … but that’s hardly Google’s fault and it was down only for a few hours. Plus, everyone should keep in mind that Gmail is still B-E-T-A … when 1.2 was in beta how many people were here complaining about things not working? I’ve had similar if not higher number of outages when using Hotmail/Y! … in fact when I went to check out the new and improved Y! (I have an a/c that I use exclusively for Y! messenger) it was completely screwed up. And the ads were still huge, animated and/or flash based. Further more, advertised services only available in the US, despite that fact that my profile states that I live in the mountains of Afghanistan.
It used to be fashionable to talk about getting a Gmail account, now the trend reversed and it is increasingly popular to b*tch about it and say that there are other 1Gb e-mail services out there (SpyMac, AventureMail (2Gb) etc.) … Have you tried those services? I suggest you sign up for SpyMac and try to use it … downtime, slow, bloated etc. 1Gb is really NOT what Gmail is actually about.
Since obtaining an account I consolidated all of my trivial e-mail on Gmail and even imported my back archives, so that I have a searchable database at hand anywhere with internet access. That already proved very useful. Business related e-mail is PGP encrypted and for really private stuff I use temporary totally anonymous accounts at Hushmail.
Hate it or love it, but Google stirred up the stagnating webmail market and forced some players to get of their ass. Somehow I doubt that Y! users would be enjoying their 100Mb mailboxes if it weren’t for Gmail (again they rushed this ‘upgrade’ and that showed). Hopefully, Hotmail and other services will follow suit.
A short collection of thoughs about Gmail’s features and what makes it different from other services without mentioning 1Gb even once.
Also, I am running a quick contest for anyone who does not have an account and would like one.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Why I Hate GmailOld and deleted e-mail has no value to Google. They want to display ads next to e-mails that is current and being read. What they are actually saying is that they cannot guarantee that you e-mail will be totally irreversibly immidiately deleted, because that is a very difficult thing to do. Think, even if you delete a file on your HD – you haven’t actually deleted it … the 0s and 1s are still on your HD until they are overwritten and can be easily retrieved in the mean time.
Further more, Hotmail/Y!/your ISP etc. scan your every e-mail … to see whether it’s spam or not. Spam filters look for keywords, like viagra etc. thats why spammers spell is as v1agra now, so it can get past stupid spam filters.
