Okay number one, I am lazy. I was not cross posting with the intention that my request would be processed with haste. But I thank you for taking the time to hear me out and combine my posts.
Let me tell you something about open software:
You talk to me like I have absolutely no clue how the open software world works,
this is your first mistake, I have been working on software for years now I know exactly what its like to have no time to make somethging you really enjoy
doing thanks to demands of your time from your responsibilities
I don't need you to go off and lecture ME about how it works. I know If I want it so bad I should go off and code it, I am not demanding you do this, If I felt that I could have done it myself then I would have done it.
But I explain to you now, I have very little working knowledge of the PHP language
I fully understand you don't know every little detail of my problem nor do you have the time to go and search out for it.
But what I am trying to say, is this moderator ISN'T an admin in ANY way
even in coppermine he does not have administrator abilities, his name
simply does not appear when he posts an image. yet an equal to him in the forum
does have her name appear. This is my problem short and sweet and I can't do anything about it and oh lordy how I tried.
Listen, I don't want to make any enemies here I just wanted some help...
No coder wants to hear people going on about the "faults" of their work
I love coppermine, thats why I chose it. Its not perfect but what is?
The reason I started that second thread about the problem is because
I saw the original thread as resolved. Being its "expected behaviour"
I made the second because I believe that it was a problem on its own.
sure its related but not exactly the same.
Now please, Id like to end this quarrel amicably with no more arguements
about the benefits and restrictions of open source, lets leave that to slashdot.
(Sorry that this post drags on and is oddly formatted.)
