I might need help from some of you soon to help test/break it.

Thanks.

Volunteer tester/breaker here.

Can't find anywhere to post anything at meego.com unless you mean mailing lists. And given what they did to me while on a lousy hotel wifi, I'm not favourably inclined towards them.

Another volunteer tester here if required!

Just in case anyone is wondering why I've been posting here but not on the mailing list, it’s because I really don’t like mailing lists. I find them very unengaging, distant and generally backward. Personally I find them highly exclusive; and I don’t mean that in a good way, like a trendy restaurant or posh club, I mean as a novice user, I feel excluded. And I don’t think that’s a good starting point for a community-centric operation! My own two cents anyway, sorry for the rant. I'm still following the meego community list however, just reluctantly, and I’m not contributing.

Going off on a tangent, I notice most of today's posts on the mailing list concern arranging an IRC meet, which perhaps kind of implicitly points to the inadequacies of the mailing list format in itself. Anyway, the meet is looking like 16:00 UTC Friday (5th) but that could be subject to change, just for anyone interested. Although I think the agenda is looking less relevant to the current topic.

Anyway, this is all just a really long winded way of saying I've not lost interest in the project, quite the opposite, and I’ll be looking to get more involved and stop twiddling my thumbs when these forums show up :) Keep up the good work Reggie & co!

Some more updates. Mike (mshaver) has suggested to run the forum on the same Drupal server. Also, the main server is running Nginx, which hopefully doesn't conflict with vB (I haven't tried running Nginx). I've noticed in vBulletin.com Support that they have been suggesting Nginx recently, which is a good sign.

I've been working hard on Drupal vB. I'm surprised that it still has a lot of bugs, considering that it's been out for quite some time. Anyway, I've fixed some things and I should be opening up the test environment really soon. I will announce it here and on the Meego-community list soon.

Forgive my slow progress as I am new to Drupal.

Hmmm... so the new forum will use the URL www.meegotalk.com rather than www.talk.meego.com? Is using a different domain to the "main" site a good idea?

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 
If you read the wiki, it's a temporary site. The forums will run inside meego.com.

meegotalk.com on the other hand will just be dropped when the forums go live.

Ignore the domain.

I can't replicate this problem. Can you try changing your password and try again?
