DOS ain't dead

Blocek?s user interface is fucked up. In the 2nd check box on the main toolbar, the check box text ?Word Wrapping? cut off the text. Characters not found in the Font File are displayed in red boxes. It thinks that the software ?my little forum? does not want to encode the ampersand. Please upgrade the forum software to phpBB 3.

Hi deleted user,
I realise you are new to this community (24.07.2012). I have read all of your posts. I do understand your points. Please be aware of the following:

1) The BTTR site is owned/run by RR (Robert) - who freely hosts this forum out of the goodness of his heart. It costs time and money to host popular websites. Last year (2011) this forum almost closed but was saved at the last minute by the kindness/generosity of a few people, particularly RR who kindly decided to continue to invest his time (despite being a new father) into it.

> the ampersand. Please upgrade the forum software to phpBB 3.

2) This forum runs MLF (My Little Forum) which requires PHP 4.1 (MLF v1) or PHP 5 (MLF v2) i.e. later than PHP 3. As I understand it Unicode support in PHP "sort of" came about via various hacks in PHP 5.4 (not PHP 3) but fixing PHP's unicode support is certainly the main reason mentioned for the delay of PHP 6.

Regardless downgrading to PHP3 isn't going to fix anything. For whatever reasons MLF doesn't support Unicode. As RR has already told you: I'll stick with "mlf", because I've already tried all the other forum software in the past. Most only supply a board view, which I don't like. In otherwords RR's made the decision to stick with MLF which considering it is his site which he is running for free I think your agree he's entitled to do.

3) The majority of software developers/website owners appreciate constructive feedback. However things that people do for free they do because because they choose to do so, they do NOT have to do anything for anyone if they don't want.

phpBB 3 supports Unicode. But my little forum is unable to use Unicode. Blocek?s Font Files (LATIN214.CH, LATIN216.CH, LATIN218.CH) are fucked up; see the slash, not the middle dot in the number zero. Please update Blocek. Anyway, the ?Word Wrapping? check box cut off the text.

Invision Power Board supports Unicode. Blocek has only Brazilian Portuguese keyboard. Please include keyboards for Castilian Spanish, European Portuguese and Latin American Spanish.

I have released new versions of my text editor Bloček (slight update, only bugfixes, new in version 1.36b) and unicode font editor Ka?már (nive new features, look at web).

I have no time now to write more, just look the webpage: http://www.laaca-mirror.ic.cz

DOS-u-akbar!

Please update Blocek to have Hungarian and German localizations.

MLF is unable to handle Unicode...
