CourseForum provides a painless, straightforward and flexible solution for posting and sharing course materials, class discussions, and student collaboration. It can be used for lecture notes, Q&A, class discussions, research, student portfolios, projects, and more. The easy Web browser interface and quick installation lets you get started in minutes, and everyone can easily create, read, and contribute.

This version provides many changes to make getting started even easier: a new default course structure, hints on making use of pages, streamlined course creation, and more. Stylesheets and images can now be branded, and the unlicensed version is more functional. A variety of other new features and bugfixes are also included. This release contains a wide range of enhancements throughout the software. There is a new centralized page list and deletion options for administrators, extended authentication and privacy options for projects, several new site-wide customization options, new online support forums, installation enhancements, and several additional bug fixes and enhancements.

This version features two major new advancements, as well as a host of smaller updates. First, it offers a brand new look, and features a choice of several different themes for each forum, and allows custom themes to be easily created and added. Second, new capabilities were added, making it easier to integrate existing Web information directly into forums, both standalone Web pages and Web services.

VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the web via browserplugins. It has support for animation, realtime interaction and multimedia (image, movie, sound). Dune can read VRML97 files, display and let the user change the scenegraph/fields, and load and store x3d (next generation VRML xml format) files if configured to work with the nist.gov x3d translators.

It also has support for stereoscopic view via “quadbuffer”-capable stereo visuals. Usage of 6D devices makes now sense if you clicked to a Transform node at the first level of scenegraph. The Navigation icon can be used with mouse input. Colorcircle is accelerated. This release works on Mac OS X. This port is based on X11/glX/XFree86, and requires fink. With the current XFree86 4.2, the 3D performance of OpenGL/Mesa3D is very slow. A G3 Mac typically delivers 3 frames per second when running white_dune. A bug in which 6D inputdevice input on Transform node only made sense for limited levels of the scenegraph was fixed.

Dune can now be configured to use Barts black & white icons. The documentation was updated. Support for making RPM package files on Mandrake Linux was added. A bugfix concerning scale operations with 3D input devices was made. This release adds Aaron Crams/SAND dune support for the DevIL library. When DevIL is installed, white_dune can load more texture image formats, such as TIFF, RGB, and BMP (in addition to the JPEG, PNG, and GIF required by the VRML97 standard.)

If you want to promote your web site via commercial email, bullet proof web= hosting is a must! As you may already know, many web hosting companies have Terms of Service= (TOS) or Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) against the delivery of emails advertising or promoting= your web site. If your web site host receives complaints or discovers that your web site has= been advertised in email broadcasts, they may disconnect your account and shut down your web= site.

We offer reliable bulk email friendly web hosting services. You can now ha= ve the peace of mind knowing that your web site is secure during your email marketing campaigns= =2E This means you can send bulk email with your website address in it, and your website will not= get shut down! We can do this because we put your website in our overseas server where th= e local law protects your web site not being shut down by any reason.

Get your site online for a low cost with quality personal service. We have many account types available for a person with an existing site looking to expand or a newcomer that needs a domain (www.yourname.com) and would like some space on the web to store it.If you want it commercial free, we really should take a vote on a stance on blatant ads from service providers, their customers, third parties etc. The most often used stance of it’s ok to recommend in response to a direct question about a particular type of product/service would be a far more sensible approach – again, in my opinion. Technically speaking anyone can flood alt* USENET with spam. Their problem is their terms of use of both their service providers. The point of what will be tolerated is down to the individual. How much UCP will you put up with before you file a complaint about it?

As has been made quite public in the past, I have never filed a single complaint about spammers in AWW, neither have I ever killfiled anybody. Why? its an alt* principle thing. A few of months before you were posting here, there was a large battle between REK and Barney Rubble. REK and his side were posting “reported” after every UCP and Barney’s side were trying to get them to stop, and just report *real* spam to the service providers and stop posting “reported” (seeing as many of the newsservers didn’t pick up the original spam anyway). I was on Barney’s side. It got so bad in the end that members from both sides had to get accounts from cotse.com to post, as Steve had a rigid policy to his TOU and watched over the entire flame war. With all that in mind, it comes down to quality. Here we have a duty to protect our NG. Much of the alt* hierarchy is now unusable because of UCP. My perception is that if somebody takes the time to subscribe to AWW and read through the posts, they should be able to read some great advice and enjoy some banter between some of the worlds greatest web gurus.

That is IMO why this group is so popular among the alt* hierarchy groups. However, if that person is subjected to crap like “the worlds best web designers, free cup of tea to the first 10,000 people to sign up with us” and it’s left unchecked, it could be deemed an accolade by the group. To summise, we can’t hold votes because nothing can be enforced beyond the individual SP’s TOU. Unscrupulous posters will always be around while posting services are available. We can *not* make this NG commercial free. We can, however, battle the commercials with our available weapons and in our own ways.

I am still having a problem with my dynamic site executing on the web. I developed it with a local testing server, changed the site to define my remote server as my web hosting server, uploaded everything and then began to test. THe pages that do not have the database work fine. Any page that calls my database tries to save the actual page on my local drive.

This is just a guess, but I think you will need to re-write your connect string — particularly the part that identifies the database. I think you will need o tdo something like: MM_bawine2004_STRING = “Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=” + Server.MapPath(“/database/bawine2004.mdb”) + “;Persist Security Info=False” Assuming you are using ASP and that the file in question sits above the /database directory in your tree structure. You will have to adjust that accordingly. That doesn’t mean it’s on your local drive. Your hosting company has a local drive on its web server, too, probably also called C.

And, if they’re running IIS, that path looks correct. Of course, this assumes that your user directory is your domain name. That’s how one of my hosts does it, too, so I wouldn’t be surprised. You should get more information than that out of an error message. Check the bottom of the page for the “technical information” section. Or maybe you have “friendly error messages” turned on. Tools->Internet Options->Advanced. Look down the list and make sure that “Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages” is NOT checked. Then try again.
