So what's with the rash of portals lately? For years, nothing but Tiny, and now they're everywhere. Not complaining, mind you, as I think it's a great thing. Just being able to log into a site and get a summary of everything on one page without having to peruse the entire site is the cat's meow! Can even use iframes! I'm using Simple Portal on one of my sites, but having these others around is also comforting that there's this kind of interest. Great job to all of 'em for providing this a terrific service.

I've used many portal/CMS packages over the years, including the recently defunct MKPortal and the commercial Subdreamer, as well as Joomla, Mambo, Sambo, and Rambo 107 the revenge. I think it's great that packages like Simple Portal have nearly eliminated the need for 3rd party software (for me anyway) that wasn't totally dedicated to SMF.

Haha. I've been playing with computers since the Vic20 days, then onto the C64 before finally graduating to the C64 with a tape drive! Man, I was king back then... Started one of the first BBS's before the web was ever invented by Al Gore. This has nothing to do with portals, but it's fun reminiscing.

lol
not familiar with those names. c64
vic20. sounds like jet fighters and explosives to me.

[Kindred]

Ha! I out geezer you...   I had a TI 99/44A with a tape drive and a heathkit!

I ran a BBS on WWIVnet myself (had a mustang s/w wildcat board for a while too)

Compuserve and prodigy dial-up!
Nethack!

lol...  those were the days.

Anyway... I really like ezportal (mostly because I use vbgamers OTHER mods which all sync in nicely with his portal. I like Bloc's TinyPortal and Feline's portal is nice. I haven't tried simpleportal.

Personally, with the articles, gallery, links and affiliates, I have no need for anything except SMF mods any more.

Wow, talk about times past with TI and Heathkit. Loved their amps. Reminds of my ham radio days. Took both the advanced and extra class license tests at the FCC center in Norfolk on the same day and managed to pass both. Barely. I had the electronics and math problems figured out, but the 20 wpm code nearly got me for the extra class. I haven't messed with the stuff in years, but keep my license current. After all that I'm not about to let it expire. Wildcat, CS dial-up. Too funny. I'll bet we're about the same age. Really old!! lol... The name of my board was Bandit BBS.

Choices are nice to have and all these different portals give us those choices.
My preference is TinyPortal and I love it but some of the others are nice as well.

Ps: Since we're doing a little OT posting here about 'old' computing here are a couple of pics of one of the first computers that I worked in. (yes that's in, not on!)

[Afro]

Hey ken, nice pics of the days past.   
Looks like you were in the Espionage business, thus the first picture.
i thought i was one of the oldest here. lol..

I actually started in the late 50's... back in the days of vacuum tubes and when transistors were the size of an eraser on your pencil and you hand soldered them into circuit boards. 

[Kindred]

well, Ken, you out geezer me there. My first computers were actually "personal" computers.
My dad did work on the vacuum tube computers...   and I had a part-time job stripping wire-wrap circuit boards for his company.

BTW: My BBS was Omega BBS @5809WWIVnet.

[Ken.]

Kindred, me dear old Mom out geezers us all... but that's a whole 'nother story. (she's 91+ and luvs her some PhotoChop)

[Oldiesmann]

Ken, tell your mom to check out www.seniorsandfriends.org. She'd fit right in there

I've had the opportunity to obtain one of their development packages. It appears to be doing very great and has a very clean and understandable code base, certainly a project to keep an eye on .

ETA: Default Install

To clarify things, Dream Portal utilizes Ajax and a Drag and Drop feature to distinguish us from any other portal out there, and receive information from the server in real time, as well as make customization of the portal that much easier for the Forum's Administrator. Users will also be able to create and save multiple layouts by name which will allow different layouts for different member groups, users and the ability to change between several different configurations at will.
