WOW that is so ironic IZZY, because you linked to unofficial help sites in this thread:
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=21045 such as
http://www.lifehacker.com/software/emai ... 111166.php then after I posted you edited all your post to:
Members should be very cautious about using unofficial third party help sites and should use the XAMPP help files and facilities available from the official ApacheFriends web site.
This thread has been hijacked for obviously devious reasons.
but the fact is if you give members correct information then I would not have to correct you.
By mentioning that you are saying do not trust any third party sites, essentially your saying DO NOT trust
http://www.phpfreaks.com/,
http://www.devshed.com/c/b/PHP/,
http://www.phpbuilder.com/ for php help because it is not the OFFICIAL php site, and don't trust
http://www.apachelounge.com/ or any other apache help site because it is not the OFFICIAL apache website. This will also include Apachefriends because Apachefriends is a third party help site for Apache, MySQL, PHP, FileZilla, and MercuryMail which makes up the various components of XAMPP an Apache Distribution. If you want help with XAMPP then you should be posting at apache.org, php.net, filezilla.sourceforge.net, pmail.com/overviews/ovw_mercury.htm, and so on.
Seriously your posts like this are childish and getting very old, for a person your age I would have suspected more from you.
So in others words you should be saying: DO NOT trust
http://xampptutorials.com because I have a grudge against WorldDrknss. I am jealous that he was able to provide a website consisting of Tutorials and Generators to make the installation of XAMPP go smoothly for everyone and for his superior knowledge of XAMPP, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
Yes you have more posts than me, but that is because I have several sites to manage, I works and I am a full time student. I do not have time to sit on my crack all day and wait for a new thread to appear to answer it.
Enjoy
99.9% of people use unofficially/third party sites each and everyday, but yet only one person on this forum will only make a note of that after I have posted. I do not see IZZY posting on other people posts saying do not trust third party sites. So to me this seems that jealousy is in play here.
At least for the people who use my site, I insure them the highest security possible, and I provide them useful and correct answers.
Best of luck to all fellow XAMPPERS
Thanks XAMPP-Dev Team keep up the good work.
This will be my last post at Apachefriends
