I think I will pass on that one :thumbsup:

You, sir, are a wise man... what eyes get to see cannot be unseen...

Its visually much more horrific than I ever penned in words

You should see the sad spider dressed as queen Elizabeth of York puddling with her banana split.

Quote from: Turner on September 19, 2014, 01:37:55 PM[...]before you fix all these annoying basic typing issues, can you priorotize an icon that depicts a sad chicken holding a grapefruit dressed as Henry VIII (the chicken not the grapefruit) This is by far the most urgent.

Thanks Turner; I can always rely on you for keeping my most-urgent priorities straight [smiley]skype/wink.gif[/smiley]

We are a close-knit community. We are a small, like-minded group; we are comprised of unique members and each and every one of us is an asset in his/her own way.

This is most-valuable and worth preserving. I'm saying this because I'm making a long-term commitment to this board. It might not be evident from your side of the screen, yet I'm currently employing most of my leisure time and "night shift" time to coding for our BetSoftware, mostly because I believe it has a long-term potential to impact our community positively.

Likewise, this thread has been opened to gather opinions on what it is that we need to be the very last forum our close-knit community will ever need open. We are human, malleable, and above all there's a will to rectify and make things better.

Here's some of what is most evident:

Becoming free from Steve's ad – It's already talked. We only need to cover for it.

In-house games – Doable.

Chatroom – Doable.

...and now feel free to suggest yours.

Interesting topic. I do have my own formed concept about intuition. More related to us having an "internal accountant" in our subconscious mind, which acts on recognizable patterns gathered throughout our game play. Whether we want it or not.

Let me check if i have some copy about it. I always wanted to place such type of articles in our magazine, so it might make a good draft to build upon.

Maybe it's a task for someone with an active yahoo account... Yahoo was big in the "Web 1.0" era, so chances are there's some fellow member still roaming there (i.e. for yahoo mail).

[...]written by you or written by others.

Yes? No? Or...?

Yes.

But I reckon they would be mostly written by me, since other fellow coders would better contribute to the open version instead; it is the most productive thing to do in order to reach a wider audience and getting as much feedback from day one as possible for their modules :nod:

Is BetSoftware free of charge? Is it a paid subscription?

BetSoftware -the program- is 100% free and open-source software. Anybody can download, reuse and redistribute it at will.

BetSoftware's extended services -on the other hand- are comprised of subscription-based "goodies" offered to BetSelection subscribers as part of their membership.

You don't need those extended services to enjoy the software's main functions, at all, but having a subscription provides extended goodies which can be valuable for getting a better experience, yet are never mandatory.

BetSoftware is engineered software. It is the sum of many parts working together to bring-in an advanced development platform for the gambling community to enjoy.

BetSoftware as a whole is comprised of:


  • BetSoftware Loader.
  • BetSoftware Framework.
  • Modules.
  • Connectors.
  • External programs.

Each of them with defined functionality:

BetSoftware Loader:

Checks the Internet for updates, sets the game and loads the framework.

BetSoftware Framework:

The operation's foreman. Provides the main user interface, manages the correct order of execution of modules and handles global settings.

Modules:

Specific workers bringing life to the operation. Each module has a defined function. Each executes its functionality then returns control to the framework.

Connectors:

Serve as "glue code" between the internal protocols of BetSoftware and other programs. They close the gap between the way others approach gambling programming and how BetSoftware does it.

External programs:

External programs are first-class citizens in BetSoftware. We acknowledge we are part of an ecosystem and do our best to interact in the most seamless manner with the fellow programmers around.

We are a "your way plus our way” bunch.

...Diversity is the spice of life, in BetSoftware too.

What is up with this board, when you are typing away, the cursor freezes, letters from words don't appear?

As a quick workaround, you can try toggling the editor view with the button:

...Sadly, this forum's source code simply has way too much "old cruft". We'd be better to rebuild everything from scratch -what we're going to do after implementing some subscriber goodies, to pay for the coding hours :nod:

We removed paypal buttons to implement this model.
