Between the time of posting and roughly a week you can edit it, after that you won't be able to edit it anymore. Your post is probably past that limit? There wasn't such limit before. There's a thread I've keep on updating over two years . I know this a bit wrong , but I was too busy (or lazy) to a...

hi,
I cannot edit any of my own posts I made before the smf ---> phpbb3 conversion.
I like to be able to edit the first post of a long thread... (for lasts informations).

hi, I think we do more than enough to limit 'commercial impact' by not publishing a lot of reviews about commercial disagreements and obvious flames Yes, I guess that without your job, the extension directory would be cluttered by spammy/unworthy reviews. I remember, one times, I've posted a review ...

Clone accounts and voting others people extensions down is by far the biggest problem

Well, I guess that allowing a single vote per Ip, combined with a tracking cookie might limit a bit the problem.
Also there's the possibility to restrict votes to  "trusted users".

Hi Vimes A lot of criteria are looked at when deciding if votes are valid or not. I guess, that some "secrets" have to remain in other to preserve efficiency of such protections. As soon as spammers know the tricks, they bypass them ... In my experience on JED the actual rating doesn't really matter...

Hi turokthemighty, I got today exactely the same problem. This morning for my coppermine's bridge , I got 42 votes. Now it is just 32 votes. And I wonder like you, what criterias are used to decide which votes are invalid. I guess, that the voting system of the joomla's extension directory is becomi...

hi ot2sen, I realize that the protection offered by joomla mambot might be ineffective. Yes , you have to enable javascript in order to see the mail in your browser, but the fact is the mail is fully outputed in the page source, and I really doubt that spambots see pages, as the browsers. My assumpt...

hi, I was updating the description of one of my extensions , and I was a bit annoyed by the new requirement to give my mail. I have three remarks: 1) why type after all the email for each extension ? as soon as I register an account, the extension website already have my mail isn't it ? Added to tha...

I think you are confused because the threshold is five (votes), as is the number of ranks; but this is just a co-incidence. to be clear,  I'm not referring to the threshold, but of the 5 stars of the rating. Whatever is the "data set' , the histogramm will contain five bars ,  each bar re...

hi winuser, histograms are not very practical with small data sets I don't see why: it takes only 5 bars , less space, and that's all. Another approach, which is technically easier to implement, is to display the MEDIAN vote. Well , why not also  the variance ?  I'm kidding  There's o...

hi ot2sen, I wouldn't believe that this is too hard to fix ... I guess that the duplicates comes from user  who doesn't understand why their review isn't immediately displayed. Probably limiting the number of review per component and per user each 24 hours to one would help to get rid of the pr...

hi ,
there's a duplicate review for fboxbot
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/
thanks to delete the duplicate.
also it would be nice if the script of that website could automatically check for duplicates.

<--mod note ot2sen: Title changed to include Capital first letter -->

Hi, I guess some components are more controversial than others. Since there's only five possible value for voting (5 stars at max) it would be great if a small histogramm was displayed when taking a look at the details available for a components. In this histogramm, it will be displayed the number o...

hi dknight ,
things work as before
thanks

Hi, I've just wanted to make a slight update on the description of a component I made (the version has changed) , and then I got the error: "The download URL should point directly to the page, not the project homepage. Please enter the correct download URL". I find this message quite annoying. If I ...

Well the announced release date is a good news. However, I hope  the current Joomla 1.5 is already in  an advanced state. I mean I don't want "a fake beta", that is in fact a true alpha (very unstable) Anyway, I'll download a "nightly build" and take a look.... By the way, are the statisti...

Just a remark ...
The button download Joomla at left in home page ... Should be 1.09 now (instead of 1.08)

The safe mode patch is not available yet....
but by comparing files, I've been able to copy  all required changes for the patch.
So in attachement, only the files that are changed for the safe mode patch.
(get "safeJoomla" 1.08 and repatch with attachement)

I forgot this one.
When you submit an extension, I guess you are very interested to get notifications when a user submit a review...

Hi, there's a feature I would really love to see: -  LATEST REVIEWS / Most Recent Reviews. This is always interesting to see, by what visitors have been recently interested in. Most reviewed extension seems to always be the same, and thus it is uninteresting if you wish to discover anything new...
