General discussion

I'm having a problem processing new content in Drupal 4.6. With Drupal, I'm using PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1.15. I also have several modules, i.e., civicrm, epublish, voting, webform, workspace, event, front, etc., activated.

I've made several post questing specific answers to common problems with no adequate solution, if any, being posted as a reply.

Is there something I'm missing in my post to justify no replies?

Is there a Progress Indicator bar function in Drupal?

In what ways have you built a community site?

I have, oddly enough, two different needs for gamer-related comunity portals. One is a TinyMU*, text-only social/roleplay system, and the other is a MMORPG Guild website.

Now, there are some things that both need, like a roster of who is who in game. Both games can have multiple people having multiple accounts... Now at first, this would seem to be a simple problem, take flexinode and make a "character" content type and away you go... However.

Is there a new programming language comming up, or why is "RUBY" being mentioned on well known blogs. Will the programming language "PHP" be out of date, since "RUBY" is gaining so much momentum?

Will Drupal be competitive in 5 years from now, eventhough it is build on php?
What is this all about? Let me know what you guys think.
