any site we do will use Access rather than mysql otherwise there are costs involved.
I also dont like PHP as its hacker friendly! and a few sites I have inherited from other companies which use php have been hacked.
as for ther search engine history, dont worry about this as its a speciality of mine and I know many tricks to keep old links and get the search engines to optimize new ones.

I might pm - but I thought mysql was open source free, php being hacker friendly - do you mean susceptible to code injection via query?
Search engine stuff - once Chelsea build up is over i will pm you _________________ Guy, Ellie, Topaz, Catja and in memory Barley

Hi Guy - this is a message board forum - conversations led by threads. The sort of thing i was talking about is a 'live' chat room where people talk to each other and answer instantaneously It would not take away the serious aspect of gathering information, but it might help people keep intouch after a rotten day at work and/or training - infact they can be a great laugh.
yep mysql is open source but most web hosts charge for setting up an SQL connection. I can set one up on the servers i use FOC but if the Db goes over 150mbytes then there is a charge. However the likelyhood of this happening is pretty slim.
I have been looking at e107 for the past couple of days and its at the top of my list of things to use as it does everything we'd need and more.

I think the chat room idea is great ( I certainly could have done with it today)
As far as the construction and maintenance of the website/forum is concerned, I have no technical competence. Having said that, my experience over the last 30 years as a service engineer has taught me one thing relevant to the failings of the current site and forum. No matter how well the website and forum is constructed, what the competence of the people responsible for the design or maintenance, it is the responsibility of the people using a facility to report failings of that facility. As long as this is done in a timely fashion and with respect for those maintaining the website, we should end up with what we want.
Looking at my previous post, it is possible the use of bold, italicised and underlined type is a bit over the top and gives the impression that I am having a pop at everybody. I was just trying to emphasise something. Sorry
it is the responsibility of the people using a facility to report failings of that facility.
If they can also be convinced to contribute that would be a bonus _________________ My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
I was thinking more of providing content or even just ideas. But I'm sure if people wanted to provide any level of help it would be appreciated. _________________ My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
