Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)
I don't know a lot about how the database is put together, or the problems with it, I do know a little about html and am familiar with cgi, but my guess is that the site involves php which I haven't played with all that much.
I'd be willing to lend a hand if what knowledge I have would be useful.
Has anyone thought to ask Wild Bill if he'd take a quick look to see if he can pinpoint the problem?
I'd guess he's the most knowledgable in the area that is involved in the ZC community.
Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)
Yeah, I think it uses php. Ever since I joined and became active, I've never seen Wild Bill in the forums.
Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)
His forum name here is Raichu86 :)
Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)
I've rarely seen Raichu86 on. ;) Occasionally, but rarely.

Still, If someone could, that knows him well, contact him and ask a favor of him or at least point him in this direction. I would like to think that the more attention that this thread gets, the faster this issue can be resolved, yes?

He's wildbill at PureZC and from what I understand built Pure's database, he may not want to be bothered with all of this, I can't say, but I'd guess he is the most experienced in that area that comes around here.
He might be able to locate and solve the problem in a matter of minutes, since he probably knows what to look for.
Someone like me would take months digging around in there trying this and that until it finally started working.
Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)
Again, what would it hurt to ask him? What' the worste he'd say? No!?
Anyways, I would love to see this getting started. I don't know about anyone else.

I wasn't suggesting it would hurt to ask him, I was letting you know where he is and how to get in contact with him. ;)
Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)
Yeah, the sooner, the better. Otherwise, we may be getting less traffic and active members in the future.
But we all agree that something needs to be done, whether it be ask Wild Bill to sight out the problem or completely scrap the old database. The latter should really be our "if all else fails" plan. I'm not a member at Pure ZC (for whatever reason I don't get the verification e-mail!), so I wouldn't be able to ask him.
Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)
why not just ask Eckels he made it and is still an admin here :shrug:
