Hello!

I registered just a minute ago and I wanted to edit my profile, but when submitting the changes, I get the following message:

Are you an automated spam-bot? If not, please contact the Board Administrator.

How can I contact the Board Administrator? Thanks!

Howdy and Welcome

I am guessing that may happen because you are new. We have had a ton of troubles with spam bots. Perhaps they set it so you can't modify your profile until you have made a couple of posts? Dunno, but maybe one of the mods will help you out

I certainly am not a spam-bot.. maybe there is a 5-post-first policy here.. don't know. Anyway, it's good that I can atleast post here

So.. let's start with the classic introduction:

Hello!

I am an exchange student in Norway (I'm Finnish) looking for a programming language suitable for easy graphical user interface and game creation. In the past I was using BlitzMax, but it was a little hard to learn and use for simple applications, so I was searching for something else and I found PureBasic. It seems that there is a Linux version too, because I will be doing programs for Linux mainly. My questions would be, how powerful (and easy) PureBasic can be? Are there some commercial products (probably games) that have been made with PureBasic? I hope I found what I want, because I certainly don't want to learn Dev-C++.

Thanks!

welcome!

I bet this was implemented to prevent bots from linking porn-sites in their profiles.
I presume it has to be "opened" manually by an Admin, but I don't know for sure.
just be a bit patient, I think there's nothing that importent to change within your profile...

PB is really powerful and easy, in the end a bit depending on what you want to do.
if you want to play tricks with different threads (sub-processes) solving events for dozents of windows at the same time, then that is not really easy....

have a look at the announcement-subforum.
there are some games in it.
if you are a bit familiar with the german language, you can have a look at the german game-subforum, too.

This is cool!
I think I am going to call my father to purchase it for me from Finland, because as an exchange student I wasn't able to take a credit card with me

There is nothing special to change in my profile, but I wanted to personalize this forum a little.. if the moderators and PureBasic developers see this, please "open" the profile access for me. Thanks!

EDIT: It seems that I can update my profile, but if I edit the signature, I get the spam-bot message.. I wanted to have this as my signature, nothing suspicious:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (~1.86Ghz), NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT, 1024Mb RAM, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 "Etch"

There is a 10 post policy on Signature and website in the profile.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying!
PureBasic Team.. are you the developer of PureBasic? I just got my account information and I just logged in to download the Linux version, and I have to say that it is ABSOLUTELY GREAT! The syntax is easy, it seems to be ultra-powerful and the examples supplied with it explain its features very well!
