keeping the same forum, but with some moderators that would follow it regularly - creating a new forum, at the same place, or hosted somewhere else, that could have a good anti-spam module the forum you see here is based on an old version of punbb that i customized to have it integrated to the current website. i wouldn't be able to do the same at the moment with a more recent version. so the 1st option could be the easiest one, at least as a first step. if you would like to take care of this moderation, please contact me by email . and, starting as soon as possible, i'll also work on the software itself. i'll start with the bugs you may have found and with new features. some changes have actually already been made on the development version, but they haven't been released yet. so the first step could be to just release it after i'll manage to identify exactly what are the changes. i hope i'll post some messages here soon with more concrete updates. 6 comments about "back in business (but i need your help too)" 01 september 2012 : version 1.7.0 released here are the main changes contained in this version. new translation added: chinese (simplified) made by 林雪凡. a new panel has been added below the list of items to easily change the settings. it's now possible to define default values for the fields when adding a new item to a collection. image mode has been improved with slight animations and a popup window with more information. bugs fixed in the application and in the plugins to fetch information from websites. you can also read the full changelog for 1.7.0 . 7 comments about "version 1.7.0 released" 01 september 2012 : model for collections of music lessons has been submitted a user of gcstar, lesagnic, submitted on the forum a new model to manage your collections of music lessons on cd or dvds. it can be downloaded from this post: http://forums.gcstar.org/viewtopic.php?id=3137 the message is in french, but the collection has been translated also in english. just download the attachment there and extract it where gcstar is installed. it would be safer to do that in a dedicated installation as advised by lesagnic. more information here if you want to create another installation of gcstar: http://wiki.gcstar.org/en/test 0 comment about "model for collections of music lessons has been submitted" 04 march 2012 : new skins for image mode by arnymateo arnymateo created new skins you can use for the list in image mode. they can be found here with some instructions how to install them: http://forums.gcstar.org/viewtopic.php?id=2336 0 comment about "new skins for image mode by arnymateo" 26 november 2011 : version 2.9 of gcstar viewer for android released this version fixes the problem that was reported by some users with android honeycomb (3.1) used on asus transformer and other devices. version 2.8 didn't start on them before this change. 6 comments about "version 2.9 of gcstar viewer for android released" 11 november 2011 : problems with ubuntu 11.10 some users reported some performance issues after they upgraded to ubuntu 11.10. this happens when using image mode for the list, with a background picture. this is not directly related to gcstar and has been reported to ubuntu maintainers: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/889019 if you have a similar problem with another distribution, please report it as it may help to find how to fix it. more information about the issue is also available in that topic: http://forums.gcstar.org/viewtopic.php?id=2066 0 comment about "problems with ubuntu 11.10" 10 july 2011 : version 1.6.2 released here are the main changes contained in this version. new option to change the way items are sorting while in image view. new plugin to import many items with a barcode scanner, or from an android device. more information about using a barcode scanner . country field in movies collection is now a list, allowing multiple countries. bugs fixed, some of them thanks to unclepetros . you can also read the full changelog for 1.6.2 . 5 comments about "version 1.6.2 released" 09 july 2011 : no more windows version until someone handles them while trying to prepare the next release, i lost many time trying to prepare the windows version, fighting with my windows installation that decided to stop working.
