and a happy new year folks...
Having been slightly bored tonight I have imported into MySQL the PF1 database that @yousnoozeyoulose so kindly gathered up for us...
I have also whipped up a VERY rudimentary front end for the data so it is usable...
http://pressf1.mywire.org/
BUT there are some/many issues...
Pagination - you will see the problem with that at the bottom of the index page... A *lot* of threads...
Layout - Like I said it is VERY rudimentary
Security - running on a DDNS address, no security certificates, you might need to override the browser security warnings
Search - None, as yet Basic search or Thread titles implemented.
Forums - Press F1 and PCWorld Chat are currently amalgamated, in due course they could be separated DONE
URL Links - No active links in posts, copy and paste to browser for now. DONE
Quoted Posts - No provision for those haven't found one yet, but if you could let me know a thread or post ID that has quoted posts within a post, pls let me know the ID numbers... Not really happening - there is no delineation of quoted text in the database, so no real way to capture and highlight it... I have done a pretty basic search for quoted text by splitting posts into phrases and comparing phrases with each subsequent post - Far from perfect, and I do note it seems to messing up any links in the quoted text...
Anyway, it's a start. I don't anticipate spending a huge amount of time on this but I will do the quick and easy stuff as time allows...

This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
