      Just people playing with virtual gadgets. Nothing like dev testing in live to give that adrenaline rush.

        Absolutely not. Heels and pink chiffon was never a good look.

          Sensible control panel heading when you think about it I guess.

            I was and my first guess was that had been posted from the new CUK iphone app.

              Zippy is right - back to the latex suit with cowboy had and cuban heels?

                I looked up some chiffon dresses (just for research loike) and don't get why pink wouldn't go with heels. Might have to do some more research...

                It might have been but I don't have an iPhone and Apple are fecking slow in approving companies on their developer program

                Now that sounds like a good combo, think that might be my Christmas bash outfit sorted

                  I beg to differ

                  The CP page title "External Data Provider" sounds like it's to do with data coming into the forums from an external source, whereas vBulletin use it as a kind of catch-all term for the way the forum can provide data other than as web pages. It's tautologous to define "external data" as "data that the forum makes available externally" as any web site is inherently an "external data provider" in that sense.

                  The various settings on the relevant control panel page show that it's a place where they've shovelled a bunch of disparate features as and when they've added them. It should be called something sensible like "Other Ways of Providing Forum Content". Yes, that's a bit long-winded, but my preferred choice of "Other Representations" relies too heavily on people understanding the distinction between the resource denoted by a URL and the nature of the representation of that resource (which is denoted by the Content-Type header when the resource is accessed via HTTP 1.x). Experience has taught me that some of the best webdevs in the world can get confused by that one: it's one of those concepts that is so simple that one has to abandon an enormous amount of mental baggage to grasp the utter simplicity of it, yet it's one of the fundamental principles underpinning the architecture of the web. Ho hum

                  As for the section in question: I think the "Thread Cache Lifespan" title is also dumb - how about "Feed Update Frequency"?

                    Although uber geeky, I can see how having a nice pint with NickFitz could be a very interesting evening out..

                    that's a compliment and in no way intended as a date invite or a come on.
