The other sites we link to for programming are established where we have not much of anything established. Up until this last change we never got anywhere with getting any kind of programming started in any shape or manner.

They are also part of our company - www.internet.com which is now owned by www.Jupitermedia.com. Gus Venditto of Jupitomedia asked us for help in improving VirDr and we gave it to him. And there have been some tweaks also.

As long as we have good forums, in this case programming, in our umbrella of websites there probably won't be any programming forums on VirDr. But nothing is written in stone and rest assurred you ideas are all looked at.

Well, I for one, would really like some of our own. The other sites may be owned by the same parent, but each has it's own "feel". I've tried other forums, but this is the one where I'm really at home.

VDr to me is like a comfortable pair of slippers, a cat on my lap, a fast PC in front of me, Internet radio on my headphones and a nice glass of red wine by my hand. Oh, hang on, that's just the situation I'm in now, I must be at home

Hi supersparks, Good comment. Know what you mean and feel the same way. Upper management seems to pay attention to these comments that have been and are being made. This is nice for a change. VirDr gets better and we can all feel more comfortable.

We were told comments and suggestions were welcome and some of them have been acted upon. I believe it is recognised that there need to be satisfied customers - us. Great is it not?

CodeGuru's look and feel are not that much different than this forum. We have a quarter of a million threads and 750K worth of posts. That's alot of questions and answers to use as a reference.

It would be nice if VirtualDr and CodeGuru were coupled more tightly, such that the fact you are browsing a different forum site would be transparent.

You could always try asking your code related question and hope someone might just answer - of course deciding where to post it could be tricky.

After all the DOS forum always seems to have lots of posts about batch files which is coding of sorts.
