... It's not really holding my interest to be honest. Yes, I own several Commodore computers, but I also own a PalmOS computer and a nice Acura car for that matter, but I don't really care about their histories either. ... I can agree that it is not very easy reading. The book is packed with people...

The manual suggests the speed-up is 25%, but I and someone else (Christian, Bacon, Zeela?) did empiric testing before, and in reality I think I could only measure 15-20% speed-up, maybe depending on how scattered across different sectors the file is. ... Yes, I did some testing but I don't remember...

Hmmm, when thinking more about what I wrote in my previous post, maybe it is enough to copy the files in the new installation to a new directory but DON'T run the installation script. Instead, just copy config.php from the directory with the old installation to the new one. It might perhaps work.

I'm not sure. I just tried to search for information about this but I didn't find any. I found a support article saying how two different forums can share the same database by having different prefixes for the fields in the database but that is not what you want. You want both forums to access the s...

Which phpbb version are you using? I'm using the latest version (2.0.17). It's a good idea to always try to use the latest version to avoid security problems.

For Firefox I can recommend the NoScript plug-in. By default it blocks all JavaScripts and it can optionally also block Java applets, Macromedia Flash animations and other plug-ins. You whitelist the sites where you want JavaScript to be enabled. Doing that is easy. When you go to a web page, you ca...

I have never got 64HDD to work under Windows at all, only under pure MS-DOS. However, Windows has a built-in support for long file names and it's possible that it's incompatible with what 64HDD requires.

I have now removed the offending post I made at my forum (which Boray quoted). It was not seriously meant. It was meant as a joke but unfortunately I'm not good at making jokes :( . They often turn out the wrong way.

Thanks!!! I will join when I find something I want to comment... (If I find something I want to comment ;) ).... I think Jeff was a little drastic in removing all the links.... /Anders He did :shock: ? Yes, I read that he said that he would not promote it anymore. Then I thought: "That's ok. H...

I've changed now so that the forum section with nude girls is only accessible to people who have asked for access to it (guests do not see that section and registered users see that it exists but can't enter it unless they ask to get access to it). I hope that this pleases the people here who though...

... In reality, the c-64 is nothing but a vic-20 "lux". And the vic-20 is actually faster than the c64. Look at this comparance (in Swedish): http://user.tninet.se/~pug510w/datormuseum/vicspeed.html ... /Anders That's interesting. You wrote the following for the C64 on the comparison page...

Anders, yes I didn't comply to what I wrote when I continued to discuss my forum here :oops: and you are probably right about that this is a good place to discuss my forum. I was just worried that maybe the administrator of this forum would not be so happy about discussions regarding a forum that ca...

I think Denial is great and I have no interest joining another Commodore forum. There are only so may hours in each day! :wink: That's my 2 cents worth. Yes, this does indeed seem like a great forum. I'm just sorry that I never owned a VIC-20 :( . It would have been fun. I never knew anybody who ha...

I just removed the thread that you said could possibly be categorized as child pornography. I'm pretty convinced that it wasn't but the suspiscion is enough for me to remove it. Child pornography is NEVER under any circumstances allowed. Edit: I can also add that I think it is not appropriate to con...
