Chatroom II
It works, just tried it over the internet. Login and everything are working.
I'm impressed. Some of the commercial scripts for chatrooms cost an arm & a leg and dont look as good as this one.
The new version looks even better, but its still an alpha release so I'll wait a bit before trying that one.

Chatroom
The website development continues.
Latest addition is a chat room with private room and offline message facilities.
All seems to be working, but not tried it in anger yet.
Again, this works on an SQL database on my server.
Try it, you might like it :)

Browser Wars
Just installed Google Chrome on the laptop. Its a new internet browser, from Google :)
Been hearing a lot of good things about it. Its fast and lightweight.
Looks good on first impresions, so I'll give it a try.

Guest Book
Just finished changing the guest book on the website.
The new on doesn't have any annoying adverts and its still free. This one runs on my own hosted web space, under php and SQL data base.
Transferred all the entries over with out any problem.
(This time I was glad not many people had signed the book yet).
Then I saw they were all posted today.
Found the dates are stored in the SQL database, so have to be changed by editing that. Also they are stored in Unix Time (A 10 digit number that relates to the date and time).
A quick google found on on-line converter, enter the new dates and the guest book was back as it should be.

Bulletin Board II
Downloaded and installed the latest version of phpBB
Now running Version 3.0.2 Even just after installing I can see it is a major improvement.
Won't bother converting the old one, only had a couple of test posts, just start with a clean sheet on this one.

Bulletin Board
Installed a bulletin board on the web site.
Looked at both yabb and php. Over all found php worked better. Currently running v2.023. This is the one set up for automatic install from my web host.
Will now look at upgrading to the current version3 from php web site.
All seems to be working ok, set up a few groups, wait and see if I get any posts in them.
