I'm sorry if I have accused you wrongly, please accept my apology. You have to understand that it's not the first time we have a devel version that users can download, but that goes unsupported - in the past, we had a lot of issues with users asking for support, reporting errors and posting questions that just didn't make sense. It always took us a while (and some postings) to find out that they were using an unsupported version that still contained bugs. That's why we react harsh when users ask questions while using devel versions, and that's why we ask users to post support related questions on the proper support board. The description of the "General discussion" board (that is visible on the main forum page) says
General discussion for everything that's coppermine-related. Do NOT post support or feature requests here, they should go into the proper boards
, yet a lot of users post here: many of them do so because they use an unsupported coppermine version (e.g. a devel version or a port that hasn't been created by the coppermine dev team) and try to get help this way although we clearly say that those versions go unsupported; I hope you can understand that we feel those users are trying to trick us into supporting unsupported versions (they simply won't accept "no" as an answer).
If users post support-related questions on "general discussion", we try to move the thread to the proper support board: that's what I tried to do with your posting as well after posting an answer (short version)
although you posted on the wrong board. I tried to find out what version you're using by looking at your previous postings, and this is where I found your posting that showed you're using cpg1.4.x - I just drew the wrong conclusions by asuming you still used it and modified my posting accordingly.
After all, I thought a user who's post count showed 20+ postings should know his way around on the forum and would be posting on the proper board.
Again, I didn't mean to sound rude - this may be a language issue (English is not my first language as you probably have already found out), hope I could explain why my reaction was harsh. Maybe it's time I reconsidered spending hours each day doing free support on the coppermine page - it might be time I moved on...
