Hello everyone, I am a long-time fan of vBulletin as a member of www.asusboards.com. I am currently in the process of justifying why my college should use it to share info amongst students but some of the not-so-tech savvy administration is raising their arms with concerns that this wonderful "app" might create major security risks. Does anyone know of any major ones to comment on or ways I can argue that vBulletin won't be any worse than the average college student's website hosted on similar servers from within the University network?

I have been doing a lot of research for my next camera lately...I want to be sure that I won't be disappointed with my investment. I am leaning towards the EOS 5D, because I like the full frame sensor and it also has a high megapixel count. My only hesitation is the fps rate of 3. The 40D has a higher frame rate of 6.5, but not a full frame sensor. I'm wondering if anyone has heard any rumors of Canon releasing a replacement for the 5D since it came out in 2005? I wonder if they will release a faster successor to the 5D. I will probably buy my next camera in 2008, so I might wait longer if Canon does plan on a replacement for the 5D.

Some of these will translate into great moments of joy, some will result in profound sorrow.

» Launch in NTSC/PAL for movies

the added feature of 'launch in...' pal60/ntsc-j etc etc for games and applications is great, but would also be great for movies, as there are many movies i have that are ntsc and xbmc doesnt detect that - and plays them in pal50 mode (even when pal60 is enabled) also attached to this there are a couple of bugs, for example when running something in pal60 when pal60 is not switched on in msdash the xbox crashes, and visa versa when running some emulators in 'pal' when pal60 is enabled, then it still runs pal60 and not pal50 ... so a 'launch pal50 would be better, rather than pal60 and 'pal' i think ? thanks to the coders for your time..1. xbmc uses the framerate of the movie to switch. i have never once seen a movie that it does not switc...... - 2008-11-19

» Posting of Photos

I want to set up a board where the thraed starts off with a picture and details of trades people. Then I want the ability for people to leave comments about their experience with their services. My questions regarding photos - Can we also allow that poster to attach a photo that would display as a thumbnail when people were viewing post? (maybe in place of avatar) - With having the ability for people to add these photos and them being displayed as thumbnails... will this cause too many problems when the board gets quite sizeable in concurrent users and data?You can allow people to attach pictures and other files however you will have to add code to allow graphics to be displayed as thumbnails.

» N75 lens compatibility

I'm still new to the idea of interchangable lenses. What types(manual focus, zoom, aperture) of lenses will work with the body? Also, what are some respectable lens brands.See this page for a list of Nikon body/lens compatibility and an explanation of Nikon lens types: http://www.nikonians.org/html/resources/nikon_articles/other/compatibility.html Basically, any AUTOFOCUS Nikkor (or 3rd party AF lens) will work on your N75. This includes AF, AF-D, AF-G, AF-I and AF-S types in the Nikkor line. Manual focus lenses will mount on your N75, but will work only in manual exposure mode, and you will have no in-camera metering.No in-camera exposure metering? harsh.No in-camera exposure metering? harsh.

Posted in another section, originally didnt here but apparently this forums relaxed on the rules of each section. Looking for a super wide angle or fisheye lens for a Rebel XT, budget of around maybe a little above 300. Will be used for skateboarding. Main emphasis or desire is sharpness and color.
