So you are suggesting spending time (and thus, money) because the current one "works great and fast"?

You're a consultant then?

There's always room for change. There's always something coming up that's better than what is currently. So changing the design features and optimizing more for mobile ain't bad..

Nope, not always. Sometimes it is even a genuine bad idea.

There is not "always" something to improve. Simple example from where I live; a few years ago the trains were equipped with a wireless and plastic pay-system, to replace the previous paper-card based system. It is nigh impossible to find something better than the paper-card system, as it is unbeaten in cost, simlicity and uptime. Sometimes things are "as good as it gets" and you should simply NOT TOUCH IT Mad | :mad:

CP is probably more used by people working from a desktop than a phone.

Modern HTML 5 looks amazing only if you forget about the users who still come here in much older browsers. Ah, why not? Why not lose visitors? Who needs 'em anyway? You know, the ones who are stuck on IE 6 because they are in a corporate environment where sites aren't being updated so IE 6 is the latest and greatest browser they are allowed to use. Yes, there are shivs you can use to work round this, but that's probably a hack too far.

And no, the way it is, it is perfect. You might also be the guy to ruin a perfectly working system because it runs on .Net 4.5 instead of 4.6 right?

Hmmm.. Downside. I have been on CP since 2013. Just some account problems, before i even joined in 2013 i have been using it.

So i feel that maybe a more sweeter UI could be great. Just an Op

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

To be honest, unless it's a succession of damp slurpy noises, I'm not sure it's possible to quite that "fine piece of American Cinematography" - and having never seen it I wouldn't recognise quote from it anyway!^*

Have a wonderful Indoor Tree Season holiday! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

* I checked, and one quote is listed. It doesn't have any slurpy noises. And I'm not posting a link! Google "Debbie does quotes" and it comes up. Ooer...

*%&^^* char command line for a UNICODE service?

So I strayed the other side of the IO manager and put a service together, and lo and behold, the command line was gash. Hmm, I thought, WTF? So I googled it and apparently UNICODE services still take a char array command line! WTF!

Who the hell came up with this stupid idea!

--edit--

It gets worse, FormatMessageW() returns a char* array even though the docs say its a WCHAR.

Yeah, they are. The project is UNICODE, every thing I do is these days, used to it from the kernel I guess, but the command line, a TCHAR (it was a console appp created by the VS wizard) for argv. TCHAR is a wide char define when UINICODE is defined, but when running the code it wasnt the case, the command line fed in through VS's debugger was not wide char. Sucks eh?

Bootstrap v W3.CSS

I have just discovered W3.CSS[^], an equivalent framework to Bootstrap and looking at it, it seems to give me all the function of Bootstrap, but, at first glance, seems easier to tailor.

Has anyone looked at/used W3.CSS? If so, what did you think of it as regards Bootstrap?

I haven't tried it, but it looks interesting.. I wonder if they're going to start selling templates though?

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
