Re: New PureBasic website is up
@Mohawk70: You should use the right link to the Board which is this one: https://www.purebasic.fr/english/
The english grammar is freeware, you can use it freely - But it's not Open Source, i.e. you can not change it or publish it in altered way.

I copied the URL directly from the browser address bar ... it goes to the exact page I was referring to after logging into the forum and going to that post. It makes no difference at all
Re: New PureBasic website is up
Some quick remarks:
-Downloads page is missing version numbers. Essential info for someone who wants to quickly peek if new version is out. Although the news page seems to be more prominent now (or I remember incorrectly).
-The screenshots are the same old ones from the old website. There seems to be some weird 'screen bending' effect in the small thumbnails? Doesn't add anything but distraction.
-Logo is low res.
-Could have some more colors. Very bland muted scheme now.

Re: New PureBasic website is up
Try not to spend too much time on that, there are some bugs that need to be fixed
(and this website is a lot better than the previous one anyway)

Re: New PureBasic website is up
Of course it works in some way, but there is no HTTPS on http://forums.purebasic.com/english , cookies are not working as expected and it is just an old link which is no more official. @Fred should shut down this link completely in my opinion. The address https://www.purebasic.fr/english is the official link to the board.Mohawk70 wrote:I copied the URL directly from the browser address bar ... it goes to the exact page I was referring to after logging into the forum and going to that post.

That's wierd i setup apache to redirect forums.purebasic.com to https://www.purebasic.fr/english but if you enter http://forums.purebasic.com/english it still works without redirecting..NicTheQuick wrote:Of course it works in some way, but there is no HTTPS on http://forums.purebasic.com/english , cookies are not working as expected and it is just an old link which is no more official. @Fred should shut down this link completely in my opinion.

Re: New PureBasic website is up
It is a common mistake to ignore the alphabetic order of the config files in the sites-enabled directory of Apache. If you have two Virtualhost that could potentially serve the same domain the first one will get precedence.Fred wrote:That's wierd i setup apache to redirect forums.purebasic.com to https://www.purebasic.fr/english but if you enter http://forums.purebasic.com/english it still works without redirecting..
But if you want I can take a deeper look at it.

Re: New PureBasic website is up
wget tells me that you are redirecting the domain to itself.
@Marc56us: This has nothing to do with DNS resolving. The DNS entries are correct.

I like the new site.

Using PureBasic is no brainer: you install the program, run the IDE and start developping your application. Generates small executables similar to C/C++ programs without DLL dependencies.
Same misspelling on SpiderBasic website.

Re: New PureBasic website is up
I found more language errors.
It's not a big deal, but throughout the website, "license" and "licence" are both used.
As was previously mentioned, in English, there is no space before question and exclamation marks.
On the Pricing page:
Under each of the pricing tiers:
"Royality-free" should be "Royalty-free".
Under "EDUCATIONAL:"
"classroom" is one word.
Under "How fast is the delivering?"
- I personally would change "delivering" to "delivery" (Also on FAQ page).
- "recieved" should be "received".
On the FAQ page:
Is PureBasic really small and fast ?
- "match" should be "matches".
Does PureBasic have a visual editor ?
- "mutli-window" should be "multi-window".
- I would change "allows to build" to something like "allows you to build" or "can build". It reads a little awkwardly right now.
Is the PureBasic licence valid for all OS ?
- "an user-based" should be "a user-based".
- "cover" should be "covers".
Is it allowed to use DLLs made with PureBasic in other projects ?
- "Dlls" should be "DLLs".
Why the Windows API description isn't included in the PureBasic documentation ?
"informations" -> "information"
Are there different PureBasic packages available and where can I buy them ?
- I would change the "was" in "Earlier, there was boxed versions" to "were".
- Is "updatetable" a word?
Sorry for pointing out so many things.
