Hi @GaryLewis ,

I'm obviously not Franklin ...

no, you are not Franklin ;-) . If you change to Nabble's "threaded" view (one of the three view options at the top of the page), you will see that I answered to Franklin's message. But, yes, I have heard that most people don't use the threaded view.

... I've tried running Nabble on my own servers and cannot get it running correctly.  I hired someone that used to work for Franklin and he's not been able to sort out the final problem - you can log on with some browsers but not with others.  I spent quite a bit of money doing that, with no joy...

Sorry for that. I myself have loads of similar experiences. Investing time and money trying to get something to work which was promoted in a way that I thought I actually could be successful... but, no. That is how development seems to become, as soon as there is no real interest in opening solutions to the public... no interest in providing good documentation and at least some minimum level of support. Money rules the world, rather than relationships and shared technical excitement ... ;-)

As for having my forum embedded on Weebly, I don't know of any special tricks...

Ok. I thought you managed to install the Nabble source code on a dedicated server somehow. Not continuing to use the old Nabble service from the provided servers. Never mind.

Beyond that, I could take screen shots of my setup and share them with you via email as I don't think I want to advertise that openly on here.

Great. That would be nice.

Thanks.


PS: while typing, I still feel a kind of "love" for how things are done in Nabble. Such a good concept! Why can't we fix it on a development level and move forward with it? I am a developer myself and I have seen bad solutions to great ideas. Nabble is not one of them. So much would be possible, I'm convinced ...
