      Couldn't they have just said: "I like your site, who did the template? can you give me their name so I can buy one too?"

      Well, they /did/ say "I love your site", and "can you..." is /almost/ "please", so I wouldn't be too harsh on them. Since it's a purchased theme, you just say, "I like it too. I purchased it from ____, so I can't give it away, but you can purchase it too." If you had developed it yourself, you could say, "Thanks, but I put a lot of effort into this and am not giving it away. I am willing to sell you a copy for $__." If they come back wi...

      Just down the road from me: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/25/bearsville-new-york-bears_n_1701097.html (N.B. Bearsville is named for German peddler Christian Baehr, who opened a general store.) So yeah, bears get shot (at) here too. It's those city-bred idiots who leave their garbage cans out all night, which attracts bears, and then complain that they're in mortal danger.

      it is downright criminal to want to kill a mother bear!! what happens to the cubs then?

      It's the people that should learn how to deal and live with animals! we humans are completely ruining this planet!!

  4. @Harald and mods..I swear I never saw a July MOTM nomination thread, so I couldn't post a nomination :( did I just miss it or wasn't there a thread at all?

  10. @Harald: just a quick question, looking at the Core Team list I notice that quite a few members haven't been active for nearly 3 years....why not thinking about nominating new members in their place? just a thought.

  12. Chat room babble: Other day userX insisted upon sending me his code, which needed fixing. I said I'm NO coder, won't be able to help you....userX still insisted, I said OK send it over, but I surely WON'T be able to help you. Never received his code, so much the better, have enough problems with MY own code, seeing as I'm NO coder.

      @ken...granted, I'm no coder, but as far as I know there's no way in 2.3.x to install a DB without having created a blank one first server side...unless someone coded up a way to do that that I don't know about...perhaps Harald could shed some light?...so basically what you posted is correct.

  24. Thanks for the great addon first of all. Everything works well and as described in your instructions. I have a question which is probably a stupid one but anyway: I was trying to call the errors folder from the browser to check that it would be blocked and was expecting a 403 Access Forbidden error, instead I got a 500 internal server error. Is that normal?
