![]() ![]() Trying to find a phone handset that would fit my DIY 'ears'. I remember building my own modem as I couldn't afford to buy one as they were so expensive. ![]() but those of us around then doing this stuff were the pioneers. Forget graphics, this was all command prompt text. The telephone call between the computers was charged at usual rates, so you tried to keep the connection time as short as possible. If you wanted a different computer, you had to terminate one connection and try to connect to the other. Often they would fail to sync with each other and you had to try again, and again. After a serious of 'squawks' they would possibly acknowledge each other and then you could communicate at 110 baud (no, that's not a typing error!). You dialled the modem at the other end hopefully attached to the computer you wanted to attach. Well there there was this device called a modem into which you placed the phone handset into rubber 'ears' to help keep out external noise. If I buy it, I will be intending to hold on to vBulletin 4.2.5 for as long as it is practical to do so I have the option to buy one of these forums that currently still is on vBulletin 4.2.5 ![]() Things seem to be introduced for the benefit of the software supplier that often don’t benefit the end user, assuming the end user even knows about them all. In total it often / mostly does not seem to get better any more, and seems in some cases to be getting worse. I am not a computer professional but I keep getting the gut feel that a lot of software, ( including a lot of Microsoft stuff ), seems to have peaked at around 10 years ago. A lot of members have not managed to feel comfortable with the change and there is a drift to them using more the forums still on the vBulletin 4.2.5 I have been mostly around some forums for a few years that mostly used vBulletin in versions 3.8-4.2.5Ī lot of users were happy with them and their workings and with a few problems and Bugs they are comfortable with the workarounds.Ī few forums upgraded or moved on to the competitors software. ![]()
