What factors prevent offline browsing software from downloading a site? - download

Why is it not possible to download the pages on this site - http://www.judicialcollege.vic.edu.au/eManuals/VSM/index.htm#13888.htm - using offline browsing software? Not sure if the issue is programming-related but I have a feeling some programming factors are involved. Can someone shed a light on this?

My website pictures loading are slow in the server and failing google mobile testing

My website pictures loading are slow in the server and failing google mobile testing- In google mobile testing pass my website but some of the (18 pictures) are loading slowly. This is basic hosting I am running my website. Can anyone helps on this(suggestion and recommendation). Thanks.
Generally you can use Photoshop or an online service to optimize your pictures, there are also free optimization services up to certain limits.
This question is a little bit old, but can quide you in the right direction. You can also have look here.
Personally I do not have Photoshop and I use Kraken free service.
The optimization can be lossy or lossless, I prefer lossless (without a visual decrease in quality).

Installing a reputation system on phpbb causes layout problems

I have tried several times to install a reputation system mod on my phpbb forum. But it always causes the problem that my layout is messed up.
Is there a way I can work around this?
The mod I use is the rep system by pico88. I cant show the layout problems because the forum is up and running.
Maybe there is a reputation system that doesnt do anything with the layout?
That's a bit of a heavy modification for the server. I'm not getting into details. Speaking if which you should have posted some more. Like phpBB version, mod version, style etc. I can only guess what you are referring to without details...
I suggest you to use the Ajax like/dislike system By SiteSplat. Its Premium plugin and ppular among its users base. You can find it Here and the premium themes with support are Here

Using Optisystem software for simulation

I am using Optisystem software to simulate a project and the project browser of the software is inactive or disabled, where I can't access the component properties when creating graphs for report purposes. Can anyone help on that problem?
You could try the user forum at the vendor's site: http://optiwave.com/forums/
You won't have any luck posting questions on software usability on stackoverflow.com. The site is dedicated to coding issues, and other topics tend to get downvoted and sent elsewhere. You may have better luck posting questions like these on another stack-exchange site: superuser.com.

Is there a simple Bugzilla/Trac client for use by non software folks?

I'm aware this isn't exactly a programming question, but it directly impacts our developers and the code we're assigned to write. If there's another SO-like forum where this could be better posted, please let me know and I'll take the question down from here & post it there.
Our work environment is a couple of developers creating (20-30%) and maintaining (lion's share) legacy software for factory production floor and test workers to use to calibrate or test the equipment the company sells. We've implemented a very simple Google form based bug reporting page, but we're already running into problems of scale (approx 40:1 them:us and lots of old-old buggy software that we didn't write). The company has tried using Bugzilla before my arrival with little success, the factory folks were apparently intimidated by it and wouldn't use it. However, they seem to like the simple Google form and the wizard-like steps to file a bug or request a feature. We're currently manually cutting & pasting their bug/feature requests from the Google form spreadsheet into Trac, and manually tracking the bugs/feature requests on a white board with magnetic bug cards. We're only a few weeks into this system and it's already showing it fragility and lack of scalability.
Ideally we'd have a Windows >= XP web or desktop client that would provide:
Simplified bug reporting, a Wizard like approach seems to work well
Customizable for our software packages (like drop downs for each)
Bugzilla or Trac integration
Standard bug tracking features developers and management can use
I've found the winners of the "Make Bugzilla Pretty" contest, but coming from a pure software house where we just used straight Bugzilla out of the box, I'm unclear on how to configure and install these skins. Obviously I can figure this out but don't want to go down that path if it's not going to solve our basic problem which is non-technical people reporting bugs.
TaskCompiler, found on the Bugzilla wiki site seemed like a candidate because it talks to both Bugzilla & Trac, but their sales page is offline and the site hasn't been updated since 2012 and I'm unsure as to their viability.
I'm certain we're not the first production facility to run into problems like this, I'm looking for recommendations to help solve both our scalability as well as-ease-of-use problem.
Another thought that occurs to me is a GAS script to push our current Google forms based bug reports into Trac or Bugzilla.
Edit: The decision between Bugzilla/Trac seems to have been made for us. I'm exploring options for using Trac here if you want to follow along.

magento osl license allowances

Im interested in providing part of magento ecommerce as a SAAS solution. However, it would be great to get some clarity around the osl license.
I realise that distributing that actual software requires me to open the source. However, in a SAAS environment, surely I can charge for the software service? As long as I release all changes to the core code etc?
How about using the XML API to provide data - I guess thats ok too?
What about if I decide to let the user have the source code? what would I be obliged to do then? let them have it? release all changes?
Anyone have any experience with this? ps I realise you may not be a lawyer ;]
Cheers

What I would do is charge the user for the hosting. You can sell your customizations as you please as they technically are not subject to the Magento license.
I would stay away from making changes to the "core" code and instead build off of them. That way you are not selling modified versions of the core software (which would kill your ability to easily upgrade the system).
You are allowed to license your extensions however you please so you would not have to worry about the open source model.
