I don't think that was entirely deliberate. But note that Aeva is right at the top, next to... wait, what? What the hell am I doing there in big letters?! :/
Believe it or not, you're a big influence :P
Aeva is in all-caps, which is not the intended way to write it (never has been.)

Oh, the person who said you weren't a team player also told me that he's glad I'm not on the team, because apparently that he respected me meant I had to automatically show him respect. (Nope: in my world, things you say and do earn you respect, not just receive it because you give it)
Hmm... Strange.
I never lacked Nibogo any respect. Actually, I've always been friendly to him, and I believe he was always friendly to me. Which is why I'm surprised he's saying this of me.
I mean, if you can't trust the people you work with... -_-

Btw, you should have seen the stuff Robbo posted in the Charter board months ago. He's not really much different to you in reality, though I can see why he thinks differently.
No, I haven't seen what he posted. What was it about?

As for what Robbo said, it was basically an indictment of the Charter system - remember at the time RC3 came out, the Charters didn't get a free preview, they got it no earlier than anyone else, so it got into a huge argument over why people bothered.

He was fuming, and some of your and his arguments seem a little familiar, you know? (Because at that point, it felt like a PR stunt and that the people who would be able to inject life were being trampled on)

Better question: why use AeMe if you already paid out for the other piece of crap?

Well, the other mod will continue to function just fine... you just won't get updates or support on it.

The reason for Nao's frustration is that you've asked for support in a thread expressly titled "No support!", and 1.x isn't receiving that much in the way of support anyway.

My frustration is borne out of the fact I had to argue, repeatedly, with the author of SGP to fix vulnerabilities in it, like items being able to be added to non existent categories, and the fact that the author is known not to even test things on behalf of the SMF Customization Team.

Hmm... You probably remember why the CMs didn't get a preview. RC3 was very late, and there were rumors that SMF was dead, because of the team split. So, basically, they pushed RC3 to an early release just so they could show the ex-teamies that they were still in control. (Of course, soon after the release of RC3, all of the dev team resigned... Err... What a mess.)

I'm afraid I really don't see the connection with me here.

(And I wouldn't have complained about not getting an early release. CM is not for early releases. It's for supporting SMF, and getting premium support from SMF as well.)

(Both AeMe and SGP are time-limited licenses.)
(Actually, AeMe used to have a time limit of 5 years so it was really cheap... But I barely sold any copy with that time limit in place. Slashing the price by 2 and the time limit by 5 made sales actually start.)
(Somehow I think a 1-month limited copy with no support at $10 would be even more successful. Lol. Or I could just sell support & software separately.)

I'm *not* providing support to free customers, because (1) I don't have the time (you'll understand why in a few months and then you'll probably apologize for wasting my time at a critical moment), (2) the SMF team banned me and I have no reasons and no interest in helping them.

1/ I'm not your thing.
2/ I'm not looking for your money.
3/ I answered your PMs. Twice. Even though everywhere I say I don't provide PM support.
4/ I answered your post here. Even though it says no support. You could have just asked over at sm.org for support. That's the place for it. You know, the place where I'm banned.
5/ Again: I don't need your frigging money. Do not EVER use money as an incentive to get my attention. You won't get it. Paying customers get my attention. People who ask for support HERE (or ask for a specific feature to be implemented for them) and expect to get my attention will at the VERY best get ignored. Not because I'm evil. But because, heck, GO COMPLAIN TO THE SMF TEAM INSTEAD.

Sure, I remember about the CM stuff. I even seem to remember encouraging people to see it for what it was - a security patch as well as bugfix. Sure, it was PR but it was also done because it needed doing. But a lot of the ranting was directed at the way the team were acting, covering stuff up etc. Ranting at how the team are saying it's all good and not to panic and how everything is wonderful but behind the scenes, it's the same crock it always was. Though it's nearly 6 months on, I don't really remember and don't fancy forking out a further $50 to find out. (I suppose I could create a new account and provide proof of transaction when I bought CM earlier in the year, but that seems much too much like effort all around)

That said, CMs are now getting 2 preview releases a month, so I hear, which can't really be bad. Though it does sort of water down what beta testers get by comparison (mind you, that's a whole other story)


Sure, they're both time limited licences - for support and updates. You can still use either after the licence expires. The difference is that SGP is badly written, by a person who has admitted his own lack of QA, the same person who says he does it for fun but is more than happy to stick a price tag on something that appears badly written even to moderately experienced coders.

@topic: I have a test smf board and could test Aeva Lite, if I found something. :sifflote:

And wow, how the posters are not aware of the topic name. -_-

I'm surprised no one seems to give a damn about this beta...
I mean, so many people sent so much time to ask for an update to Aeva Lite...
For this! :rolleyes:
It works as expected.
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/SMF2.0/index.php?topic=3.0
And yes, some of us do give a damm about your work... all of it.  :)

My live site is using an early copy of Aeva Media so I may not use this Aeva Lite there, but wanted a copy of it anyway.
Thanks Nao.

I Luv your Mod!!!  This is a Terrible thing that happened. I have SMF 1.1.11 and Aeva ~ Auto-Embed Video & Audio 7.0  It just stopped imbedding Video and now posts the link? I have SMF Media Gallery  2.0.5   I would like to leave the Gallery alone and unistall Auto-Embed Video & Audio  7.0 and reinstall the Embed Video and Audio. Which version do I install? I don't see where it informs of capatiblity? Thanx
