Just downloaded from http://www.stuffsoft.com/quicke.php
1/26/02 and installed on my Windows XP Compaq Presario 700 and the program makes it to the system tray but then Runtime error , abnormal termination.
I use AOL, which might be causing the problem.
Another critical point if I may, I personally do not like the installer you used, looks win 3.1 ish and it didn't want to install to my program file dir by default, which I prefer. I use InnoSetup[^] which is free and nicely designed.
Your website is hella cool and very attractive.
On monday, if I remember, I will try it at work on my win98 machine and lan connection.
Later,

Joe,
Thanks for all your kind comments. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I'm trying to figure out why it crashed twice now, including your computer. I didn't even bother asking the other person what ISP they where using...hmmmmm.
I was looking at InnoSetup I might just give it a try. The only requirement is that the setup program be freeware, since the program is, that's the reason I was not going to put any bells or whistles on the program, just because it is free. But with the amount of people that have downloaded it, I may try to make it better.
LMK what happens JoeSox, and thanks for the comments. And its kewl that we have Star Wars type sigs!!! LOL

Yes, Yoda is the man! Last Star Wars was great because of Yoda. But anyway Tried QuickE at work (Windows98se) and worked fine. I think your problem is with Windows XP users, that is the OS it crashed on me. I know that Windows XP is unusual not only because it uses another kind of control to handle taskbar buttons, but also because it implements a button grouping feature.
But I found a typo when I received my test email the bottom is misspelled:
"This messasge was sent quickly with QuickE"
message I believe what you meant
Don't feel bad I have made mistakes with my JoeSwammi software after I had rolled it out but I mostly code for hobby.

Thanks for catching the typo. I'll fix it for the next release. I mostly code for a hobby as well, since my real job has me coding using Visual Basic and php/mySQL I wish I can get a job coding C++ but alas, its hard with no degree. So I created Stuffsoft, mostly a glittery front end, so people take the software seriously. If I just put a bunch of text in times new roman, I probably would have not be taken seriously 
What version of XP are you running? The program was developed and tested on my Win XP professional installation. Home built syste, why it took awhile to respond all weekend had to replace a faulty mobo.
Btw, your site is very clean and professional as well. And you sell your software One day I'll release something worth selling, but for now QuickE and the other software project I'm developing concurrently seem to fit the freeware mold.

Home with some hotfixes installed. I can get back to you with the exact info if you need it. My laptop is at home right now.
Thanks I am always wondering about my site. I am good and getting my sites ranked well on the engines but I am not graphically gifted

(Yet Another Forum Testing Post)

Alternatively, if you're German and you'd really like to help me out of a pickle click here[^]. Problems running the forums on German language systems have apparently been plaguing the forum scripts since their first release (which is odd because they were part created by a German: Uwe), and I'd like to make sure whatever is causing the problem/s is resolved in the upcoming version so I need help testing the software on such a system. Non Germans can still sign up of course, but I'm specifically looking for a German guy here... GSOH, 120lbs, Non-Smoker. *cough*

You've caught me in my nightly "update the scripts of the server".
I was hoping no-one would be around this time of night - I'll get them up asap.

Hello again everyone!
I have updated the forum scripts to include Dynamic mode for Internet Explorer. I have only tested with IE6 sp1, but the scripts should work for at least IE 5.
Please bang away and notify me of any bugs.
Thanks!

I am just curious but have you used ASP before? If so, how have you found PHP in comparison?
Posting some test messages on your board now btw...

I prefer PHP because of its C-like syntax. PHP seems to be a tad more accessible than ASP, too. OTOH, ASP appears to be a more professional technology because it is produced by one company, not hundreds of independent developers.
Example: in PHP, naming conventions are not strictly enforced. There is a function named stripslashes() to remove backslashes from a string. There is also a function named strip_tags() to remove HTML/script tags from a string. Kinda shoddy if you ask me, but everything seems to work just fine.
However, I haven't done enough ASP programming to be able to make an in-depth comparison of the two. As far as I can tell, they are pretty much the same, though I don't know how PHP matches ActiveX controls. I think you'd have to write a custom extension for PHP and then recompile the binaries in order to get the same functionality you would normally get out of an ActiveX control.
Sorry I don't have a better answer than that. Maybe tomorrow. It's bed time now.

I didn't use ASP much, but I know why I love PHP:
1. Very easy to use if you are familiar with C/C++ syntax.
2. You can program at a very low level (sockets, ..etc)
3. Widely available in hosting companies for no extra fees.
4. Available on both Windows/Linux hosts.
5. Integrates very well with a variety of databases.
6. Can be extended by programming your own extensions.
7. More popular than ASP, see hotscripts poll with about 40,000 voters (http://www.hotscripts.com/polls/results.hsp[^])
8. Open Source

Cool!

The scripts now support Dynamic mode for Netscape 6+, though they have only been tested with NS7.

Did it work for you then? I tried them but both of them merely replace the entire window's content rather than perform the actions there were supposed to.

That's what it did for me, too, but I want to eliminate that.

What is the aim of this development? For fun, open source, to be included in CodeProject? .. just out of interest!
I noticed that even if the author unchecks the e-mail on replies checkbox, the e-mail is still mandatory. I guess if this option is disabled, then e-mail should be optional and in this case the [Email to Author] should not be available for this message.
Also when composing the message, there is not URL and URL^.
There is also something that is not feeling right about the images, it is either that the server is slow, or CP has a trick to make it load faster. You may want to consider pre-loading the pictures using JavaScript or providing the width / height if they are not there.
Good work...

I'm just doing a straight port for the time being. Maybe in a future version I will worry about this.

What browser are you using? Those currently only show up for IE4+.

I checked, and the width/height were not specified for any of the smilies. Thanks for catching that. They load much faster now.

You didn't answer my question about the reason for the development?
