A friend of mine fixed it. So I don’t know if this would have helped. Thanks for answering nonetheless.

ok, that sounds good.
Maybe I was just hopeing I could save it with Safari as a webarchive or so. Or maybe as a static pdf I could just flip through if I want.

But a local install might do the trick as well.
Thnx!

it seem to have solved it indeed!
Thnx very much!

works like a charm!
Thanks very much!

Ok, I’ll look into that.
Thnx for the tips!

thnx for your help!
Urban for me is hiphop/skate/street-culture.
Baggy trousers, blingbling, subwoofers, kids at school behaving like gangsters; that kinda stuff.

same problem here…
Anyone have a solution for this?

I set up a blog for someone else and first used my own wordpress.com account because I was lazy. But now I created a new wordpress.com account for that new blog.
I want to change the API-key, but it won’t let me.

Jet events does get a lot better really quick, but still doesn;t do the trick quiet yet.
There is a nice plugin from WPMU Dev: but I’ll have to ay $80,- a year just to test it…

Any other options?

Key feature should be that user themselves can make events without having to go to the back-end of the site.

@james: Sorry, I am not testing you and I don;t wan’t to present myself as knowing better then you do. It is just that your answers seem circular: If the question is: “Why are not more people participating in the fora” and the answer is: “Because not many people are participating in the fora”, we don’t really get ahead, do we?

But really: all I was doing was wondering and trying to formulate a critical question on the WordPress Community and how it works. Sorry if I stepped on your tows.

You must learn to accept answers, even if they don’t fit your ideal conclusion.

Sorry, probably my education and parents are to blame for never accepting answers just like that; I just love to ask over and over again until I get it.

@mrmist: Thanks! That comes closer to an explanation!

I wish I had an answer to that because I’m tired of answering that question.

Nice to have a little bit of discussion over this. ??

But the answer isn’t:

Because we aren’t paid, and only a few of us care to spend our free time supporting hundreds of users each day in exchange for nothing more than personal gratification.

Because 90% of the fora in the world are community driven; all these people do all that helping, answering and discussing for free. I can’t say I did scientific research on the topic I address here, but I am a enthusiastic user of different fora: 6 on a daily basis and ’round 20 on a weekly basis and maybe ten more in a month. And in comparison with many other fora I found this one was slow.

So much for the background (I hope I have explained my motivations enough now for no-one to feel attacked in there hard work here).

Now as said before: All these people who develop WordPress itself, its themes and plugins are also all volunteers, apart from a few folks at Automatic they are all unpaid. WordPress is basically the same in that way as many open source projects are. But whereas the fora of these other Open Source projects thrive and fly, the www.remarpro.com forum doesn’t seem to reflect the overall activity in it’s community.

Is that because maybe people don’t like the forum software being used?
Is it hard to get started?

Both questions I’d answer with ‘no’. But what is it then that keeps all these happy users of WordPress from engaging in the forum as well?

thnx for answering! It really got me wondering why there are so few people (a handfull, as you call it) who have time to logon, especially with the rapid growth rate of WordPress these days. Somehow I just got the feeling that the adoptation rate of WordPress, the amount of developers of plugins and themes are not reflected in forum-participation.

And my question was basically if others share this observation.

And one of my assumptions was that there might be another forum which is more active on WordPress issues; just as that there are also some fora on OSX and Apple which are more active then the one at apple.com, for example.

Hey Chris_K,

No, I am not complaining, I just noticed that the WordPress forum is slow in comparison to many other fora; which also provide free support for free products by volunteers: just hit the Ubuntu forum and you will see what I mean.

There was no complain in that, there was a sincere question in that. I think it would help WordPress on a whole a lot if the forum would be more active. If newbies, like me, are able to get quick answers to problems we are happy users of the software and will promote it to others.

Please don’t take my curiosity and questions as critique or blasphemy in the holy church of WordPress. ??

Hey ClaytonJames,

All answers to everything in the entire universe are readily available to anyone who cares to search the net; just hit google and click around a bit… So basically we can shut down the forum, or keep only the part open in which people can react to bleeding edge new functions of WordPress which will for maybe a few second not be covered somewhere else on the net.

If you find questions in the forum that are answered in the codex, the people who asked the questions will be much more helped if you give them the link to the article then if you ignore them.

But thanks for answering my questions nonetheless.

I now use Jet-events… but that doesn’t really seem to do the trick…
Any other options?

thnx. that helped!

good tip!
I just tried it, but I don’t get an confirmation email…
