Hi folks,

I have a couple of Drupal powered sites, and i plan to add a few more in coming months. I am presently having problems with my hosting company, as he says my sites are creating problems for him and am planning to take a dedicated server.

Here is the configuration i am planning to buy: P4, 2.8GHZ, 1GB RAM. Will this suffice my purpose? or do i need to take a better server than this.

Your suggestions are much valued and needed. Please let me know your ideas.

Thanks in advance

I've searched for this, but can't find any mention of why the name "Drupal" was chosen for the project or what it means (if anything). What's the background?

When creating content on my drupal pages, I use hyperlinks to other web sites, and these links are dispersed all over the pages.

It becomes difficult to manage these links - doing things like getting a list of all external links I've used at my site, to take a look at if any of them need updating, or deleting, etc.

Right now, the way I handle this is to do a db dump, fold the lines to manageable length, searching for "http://", and then noting which articles have to edited, and then manually editing the articles in Drupal.

Hi,

Regarding my stats, I get loads of "visitors" at my site last few weeks. Not too bad, I can hear you think. But it has never been like this before!

I never had a lot of visitors before, there's nothing much to see at my site, and there has been no activity for quite a while now. So I can't think of any reason why people visit my site. Regarding Google, there are hardly any links from other sites to mine either...

I've had something like this before, but that time it went over. Now it doesn't. Yet.

Does it seem reasonable to anyone else that the core form generation tools should also include time? For example the form generation tools will spit out pulldowns for the date. But what if someone needed to specify a particular hour within the date? How would a developer accomplish such a task?

Perhaps this isn't the place (and I'm not sure where to voice this suggestion), but I would like to suggest that we provide an option for extending the date fields so that a developer can also specify time. It might look something like this:
