I deleted my account and created a new one. I will see if this fixed the problem. Thanks for the help

I think the standard PHP time is 10 minutes of inactivity. I’d have to check to be sure.

It was my second post that did not work. Not sure if my login timed out. What is the timeout time?

I’ve just added a plugin that should allow users to edit their own posts, provided they do it within 30 minutes of the original post time.

Mike, I’m not sure what your issue is/was, but there is a forum post from you. So you did manage to get something up there.

Leslie, I’m pretty sure I mentioned that Hak5 wasn’t on the TWIT network, but I don’t think I said Revision3 specifically.

Wow, I just Googled PHP VirtualBox. It looks awesome. I’m a big fan of VirtualBox, and this remote management looks very cool. We’re using VMWare Server all over the place right now and are very happy about it.

Thanks

Thanks for the great podcast.
Some feedback on your site:

Good
I like the look and feel.

Bad
The forum dose to work for me. I setup and account this went OK. Did not understand the group thing. I joined a group so I could post my message. Then I spent 10 min righting my message clicked submit and some message came up. There was nothing I could do nothing to click on. The only thing I could do was click back. My message was lost and I was logged out. I tried logging in and it did not work. I had the right user name and password. I got frustrated and gave up.
All I wanted to do was leave a simple message. For me a forum is a lot simpler solution.

Not trying to dump on you. Love everything except the forum.

One of the things that wasn't emphasized so much are the amazing reports you can create in Spiceworks. Customizable and can be created for anything… tickets, users, inventory, software, whatever. Can be printed or exported as a spreadsheet, pdf. And the community, in my opinion, is just as good and maybe better than sites like Experts Exchange. I know they couldn't come out and say it on the show. I like the ads. Oh, and moving Spiceworks from one computer to another is just as easy as running the exe on the new computer, and moving files from the old computer to the new computer. Drag and drop.
The most useful function my iPad has is accessing Spiceworks. Not slighting the iPad…. it gets used extensively.
Hail King Leo. Trust your Technolust. Hak5 is on Revision3, not TWiT. Not being an elitist or anything.
I want to hear about phpVirtualBox. I think I might get away from my lovely ESXi's with vSphere.
