modxjr1, unfortunately there is some sort of bug we need to look into there. From what I've experienced if you delete your own post it can delete the post directly preceding it too. We're working on forums fixes and we'll look into that one sooner than later.

Two posts disappeared, rendering exactly my two replies out of reference.
Never seen this before, lol.

For Clarification:
In my experience, which posts disappear are directly related to which "Reply" link was clicked. When someone deletes a post, it deletes any post that was directly "replied to".

Don't know if this is expected behavior, but seemed like it could have been. Was initially surprising, but got used to it.

Failure is just another word for saying you didn't want to try. "It can't be done" means "I don't know how".

You're correct; it has to do with threaded message replies (which we don't display as threaded). We're working on a fix.

So why wasn't a more bug free forum software like phpBB or Simple Machines Forum chosen?

modxjr1,

We used to run the MODX forums on SMF and it was a pain to maintain. It was constantly being targetted by hackers and, in addition, a native MODX forum was something people have asked for for years. That being said we did look at building the new forums in Vanilla Forums and worked closely with the Vanilla team on their recent version, however it was not ready for public use and like most forums is not able to easily work with other auth systems.

Onto the good news, (and we are miles off topic here), we have spent the last few weeks working on making the forums work better, solving most of the critical issues and laying the groundwork for an eventual release. You will find the forums more stable, easier to use, faster to read and post and a whole lot more functional overall. And, we'll continue to work on it in the coming months to improve the experience.

Just checking:

<?php
$url = "http://modx.com";

Is there a blank line after this one? wink

I guess not (and I got a gateway timeout posting this).

So, updates not installed yet?

Bob,

We have not launched the improvements yet. There are some significant design changes that will go with the functional improvements. You'll know when it hits.

In case anybody is interested. I did a little test for memory usage and number of included files to compare Evo and Revo on a default install from the home page. I added a Joomla and Wordpress test for comparison too. And Etomite too.

Etomite 1.1: memory peak usage: 1572864: 1.5 mb, 6 included files, disk space: 9mb

Evo 1.0.6: memory peak usage: 1572864: 1.5 mb , 10 included files , disk space: 15mb

Revo 2.2.5: memory peak usage: 6291456: 6 mb , 104 included files , disk space: 35mb

Joomla! 2.5: memory peak usage: 3670016: 3.5 mb , 102 included files , disk space: 34mb

Wordpress 3.0.5: memory peak usage: 3932160: 3.75 mb , 73 included files , disk space: 11mb

Tested with Linux + Apache with php code to get results for
-------------------------------------

memory_get_peak_usage(true);
and
get_included_files();

------------------------------
It should be obvious from the numbers that if you want a low resource intensive site then Evo wins.
Actually Etomite is even faster.

Evolution user, I like the back-end speed and simplicity
