Re: Why wasn't the Delphi 7 update announced on Delphi Direct?
Why wasn't the Delphi 7 update announced in Delphi Direct? For that matter,
why hasn't there been any change in Delphi Direct in months? Is there any reason for me to keep Delphi Direct activated or is it a dead feature? |

Re: Why wasn't the Delphi 7 update announced on Delphi Direct?QuoteBecause nothing is announced on Delphi Direct. meanwhile there is no intention to keep up a pretense that it is being maintained or performs any useful role. I think it is around 5-6 months since the last update. Personally I don't see that John's answer explains anything . . . If they have content, they can put it on Delphi Direct now. If they have a different delivery mechanism in the future, they can use that then. In the meanwhile if they intend to deliver content, they can and should deliver it. The question is really why no-one is bothering to update the content, and whether and why that is planned to change with the advent of some new technology. If they don't plan to update the content advice, they may as well cancel both Delphi Direct and the new newsfeeder/aggregation thingy, as neither is any use without the content. Lauchlan M |

Re: Why wasn't the Delphi 7 update announced on Delphi Direct?
I dunno John, I think John's W comment is right on the money, there should
be something mention in Delphi Direct that this will be replace. For me, I hit Delphi Direct more than I hit BDN, everytime I start Delphi I hit Delphi Direct, maybe 10 + times a day. BDN, maybe two times. Looking forward to the new feature. Edwin "John Kaster (Borland)" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes QuoteJohn W. in <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes: |
