Solarwinds as a company has one focus and that is for monitoring and notifying you when something goes wrong.

Several companies have compared Solarwinds, Opsware, Openview and they all say the same thing.  Solarwinds is the best tool on the market with a growing number of features and strong reliablity and ease of setup make it the leader.

Finding a forum to use with Joomla 1.5 easily is a tall order at the moment.

In researching forums for Joomla 1.5.8 I have narrowed the field to: (in alphabetical order)

JEvents is my choice on managing events but they are in Beta stage at the moment and consistently warn users not to install on a Live site as this due to the constant changes that are being applied.

Once they release a Release Candidate and/or stable release I will apply to the site.

RSGallery2 has a plugin hidden in the forum for Joomla 1.5 that allows the Joomla global search module to now include the gallery/photos in the search.

This is good news because its the main reason I switched from coppermine to RSGallery.  I like the closer integration RSGallery has with the Joomla web engine.

For those of you that would like to have something besides the default picture displayed when you submit an entry, register the email address you used to register with HOSANG I.T. with gravatar.com (Global Recognized Avatars).  When you register with gravatar.com you will then upload or link the image you would like to use as your own.

The great part about using gravatar.com is that you'll find that alot of websites support gravatar.com so you'll have your global icon versus having to select a new avatar at every site you are registered.
