Will do
Sorry again for your loss, that must be so painful. Be strong!

I'm trying to be strong for everyone, it's rough.

 

[Elvira]

Nothing much. You?

Hey @Aaron, how goes everything?

Conditionals is one thing that would be nice to have in MyBB, their "template engine" is so much more primitive (although it was similarly accessible and easy to mess with at least.) MyBB really was very much inspired by VB3 in a lot of ways, and VB3's influence went far beyond just MyBB, I see evidence of its inspiration across a variety of different forum platforms that have come since. It seems like a bit of a shame that vBulletin went through two separate ground-up rewrites since, and ultimately ended up with VB5 which was arguably a lot worse than the products it was designed to replace.

It truly is a shame that vBulletin lost all direction and has plummeted in quality since the vB3 days. They truly were the innovators before Internet Brands bought them. Sadly neither vB4 not 5 we're full rewrites and both still contain code from vB3 that's nearly 15 years old! They really are struggling to even keep up at this point. They lost their best developers and with that went any semblance of what vB was.

Some of the newer software that the development world has come up with has created a lot more bloat and a lot more boilerplate work that needs to be done to get up and running. Sometimes simpler software is nice because it's easy to tinker with, which means a much smaller learning curve to get started. That's how I ended up learning web design and PHP, and I owe a lot of that to older software platforms that were easy to customize.

Yes, absolutely agreed! Tinkering, learning, tweaking and so on. So important and you learn so much!

Honesty is always the best way forward. Even if you have to admit to a mistake and work to make amends, you will do better in the long run than making up some kind of excuse. Minor mistakes happen, it's a part of life!

Thank you! I was being honest to him and thankfully he was being so nice about it

 

[PGen98]

That's wonderful, I'm glad it worked out for the best

Hey Ken, happy Friday! I'm doing great (I think) I'm just glad that it's Friday. I'm listening to music, and enjoying it very much

Nice, but my week is the worst by far by way of Damar Hamlin in the hospital and an ex-member of my forum threatened me. Any weekend plans?

 

[MrDawn]

Here's to a great Friday!

Good afternoon all.
