100+ days with Boonex

Just like to share my experience so far. Was web surfing when I TOTALLY and ACCIDENTALLY stumbled on a reference to dolphin. Decided to "Google" it and then from there came to this site, downloaded it and spent many sleepless nights teaching myself how to redesign the site etc.

I immediately bought dolphin cos it is actually the best I have tinkered with EVER. I have used a lot of CMS and the likes (not mentioning names here but you know the likely suspects) and I admit it has been hard but each time something works, the joy has been great!

At Unity, I have found every single person to be rather helpful. Yes some posts get unanswered or some posts take long to be answered but my overall impression is great.

I have asked a few people for help and they have NOT hesistated one little bit to provide some assistance... which is so refreshing compared to a lot of community sites!

I had a little tiff with Sammie... and will duely like to totally apologise to sammie regarding my comments to her cos I absolutely misjudged her. Got to know her a little bit since my second blog and she has been a source of enlightenment.

So 100+ days here and I am happy. I have had good experiences and Unity is full of great members who do not mind giving a hand.

Thank you... You all are slowly making my dreams come true!

Have a great weekend!

Hi Iced
glad you like it here, and i am sure Boonex staff will enjoy seeing a positive post from someone thats happy and pleased with the script and help they get.

I have to agree, Dolphin is the best you'll ever find, and it would take some investment and smart people to come up with anything close to it.

Dolphin is not a CMS. if anything its a ECMS and even that status doesn't cover it lol
its not a run of the mill script that will run on a run of the mill shared server.

i have been called a few things before lol a source of enlightenment.? well i can life with that lol thanx

I'm at 19 days and this stuff is not as hard as most make it out to be... Okay, I've gotten some awesome help from Kosmic, DosDawg, Sammie, Caltrade and quite a few others...

That's what makes this software so great, it will do exactly what you want it to do and the community that uses it every day supports it and encourages new users.

I think Im around 365 days now and its been quite a journey.
I came in knowing absolutely no php at all and minimal html besides using Dreamweaver.

I have been setting up the site for the whole year and Im glad to say that in the last week it has finally gained the functionality I imagined for it from the beginning. Its taken a year, not because it wasnt okay out of the box (Boonex installed it for me), but because I wanted my own cosmic MySpace.
Finding the right mods and experimenting with their functionality, and then upgrading from 5.6 to 6.1 - well - it all takes time.

Anyway, I agree with ICED that some questions may go unanswered, but the community is really very helpful.
As are Boonex too - but I wish they had a dedicated staff of about 6 people JUST for support !!

Like many other things on the web I think the problem comes when we want things to happen to our timetable. Even more than normal life I find that web interaction just doesn't run to our timetable. Once I learn to let go of that and even plan for it in business related matters - then I am a lot happier and less stressed :-)

I agree, I tried about every CMS known to man, then I found boonex and their products blow everything else away. Out of the box you all have the best products by far. I have held off buying Dolphin, because I am very interested in Shark and want to know more about that before committing
