Before you start

Hi all,

I'm looking to put together a site which will be a directory of particular businesses across the country - so I'm looking at the location\mapping capabilities of Drupal.

What I'd like to achieve is

Hello everybody!
For more than a year now I've been writing with some friends a MU blog based on WP. There are about 800 posts already and more than 8000 comments. In addition, recently I've "received" a portal with more than 1000 articles in different categories and a discussion forum with almost 50000 posts. the portal works on Joomla (installed about 2006 and newer upgraded), the forum uses IP.Board (also a very old version). As I'm alone in administering these services and there are tens of hundreds of users, I'm looking for some software to integrate them.

Hi!

I am trying to add images in the mass contact form.
I am using cck.

I chose "Image", then into the images properties, I pasted this url http://www.netpublic.fr/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/facebook.png and in width I chose 30 px.

However, when I try to send a mass mail, the widht of the image is the original one (311 px) and not the one I chose instead (30px)
I checked "Send as HTML.
The message will be sent using the Full HTML input format"

I've been trying to install Drupal 7 on my cPanel site but I have had problems as it appears that the hosting provider only supports mysql 4.x whereas Drupal v7 requires mysql 5.x.

I can install Drupal v6 - but is this likely to be discontinued in a short time? I have no knowledge of when or if my provider will support mysql v 5.x but would appreciate some thoughts about the likely life expectancy of Drupal v6 - as otherwise I might have to look at another solution.

As a newcomer to Drupal I am considering using it for an application where you have multiple users.

User1, User2, User3 User n... (could be hundreds)

As an example There are 4 tables:

User, account, portfolio, symbol
