Well, it kind of it does, because we've (collectively) spent 5 days bhing about how tardy the upgrade is. I wasn't meaning for HM.

I don't particularly care what they use, but the faster they can test, the faster they can roll it out. Which is why a poster above was interested, I imagine.

But you're right, it's the same old story: some people are interested, and others are not. The people that are not question why the people that are, are. It's classic Pistonheads - I'm not bothered, why should you be?

Its like asking if they use SCRUM or waterfall.

it makes no difference to us, but atleast those in the know can make an educated guess as to how they may be doing things on the inside without them directly telling us.

Not essential, but nice to know... like how to turbine engines work, or why are you faster when you use minimal slip angles vs no slip at all.

A modicum of organisation and testing would be a leap forward:

/* Minification failed. Returning unminified contents.
(993,43): run-time error CSS1055: Expected media-query expression, found 'screen'
(1011,43): run-time error CSS1055: Expected media-query expression, found 'screen'
(1092,42): run-time error CSS1055: Expected media-query expression, found 'tablet'
(1097,42): run-time error CSS1055: Expected media-query expression, found 'screen'
*/

The fastest way to roll it out is just release it with no testing and let the punters do the testing for them. The punters are bound to find issues with it anyway so they may as well let them do all the testing instead of just some of it.

Automated testing would be a bit odd for HTTPS, IMHO.

I'm not convinced continuous change is much of an issue around here. hehe

Well, that method worked well in the past for TVR. wink

I love the unending faith that there actually is a 'Dev team'. It's like believing in the tooth fairy. Only the tooth fairy is more believable because you're more likely to have actually got something out of them at some point!

You see the odd bit of action here but is it really a team or just someone poking an old code base on the second Wednesday of every month?

With an actual team I'd actually expect to see continuous change and redesign just for the sake of it and regardless of whether the users wanted it because that's what happens everywhere else; people fiddling and updating because they can and to give themselves something to do.

A site staying static and with incredibly slow rate of update to me suggests no team exists, or if it does they never poke this site except when an intern needs something to do. Like learning how to implement https.

I look forward to everything working cleanly and securely.

Hopefully a Pastebin dump won't show up afterwards.

We know there isn't a team of developers working on PH - had there been it wouldn't be in the state it's in now, which is about 3 or 4 generations behind other forum software.

Too late for that, it's not on pastebin, but there is one.

Yes but passwords in plaintext, hashed or hashed with a salt?

If this has happened there ought to be a statement sent out from the admins. I don't recall seeing one?
