I am curious... Who will be performing updates for QB64? Is this function performed by a Developer on 'this' site?

I've always been amazed by how generous our community of hobbyists have been.  The forums here are no more than a few days old, and already people have started to send me private messages asking if they can help donate anything to offset the cost involved in setting things up.

First, let me be perfectly clear and say for the record:  There's absolutely no reason for anyone to donate or send any money to help support the forums here, or our hosting costs!!

Here, for the record, is the receipt for how much these forums cost for me to set up, and this includes unlimited storage, along with the domain name for a year.



Less than $100.00 for a whole year for this!  That's hardly going to break my bank account at all, so let me repeat once again:  There's absolutely no reason for anyone to donate or send any money to help support the forums here, or our hosting costs!!

Now, with that said, if someone still wants to send me money, I'm not going to get in a fist fight with them to stop them.  After all, one way I make extra cash on the side has always been from people donating to me via paypal for the books I upload to various sites in webnovel form.

If you absolutely must give a donation, do so via here:  Donate to Steve!!

Paypal can sort out all the currency and tax issues, and all that good stuff, and I'll just leave whatever ends up in this paypal account alone and when time comes to renew in the future, I'll just direct hostgator to take the money from there directly. 

instead of the badly supported _Float replace it with a decimal64 type, that would solve a lot of the floating-point error complaints

This one may be outdated and glitch with the newest version of QB64 with the fix to recursion being allowed in functions.  I thought I'd share anyway, and if anyone has any issues with anything in it, you're always welcome to bring them to my attention.  The more people who use one of these and points out a glitch in it, the easier and faster I can get around to fixing said glitch.

To be expanded upon later, this is my Virtual Keyboard Library.

As before, expanding info and description will come later for this Keyboard Library.   Only works in windows, but offers an alternative keyboard input system that reacts and reads all keyboard states and can be customized to work with custom keyboard layouts.

Extended description and all to come later.  For now, I just wanted a place to make this library available once more -- the SaveImage Library!  For exporting and saving screenshots of your QB64 programs from within your programs themselves.

If you guys have noticed, I've added another section to our site:  Expanding Horizons.

What this section is dedicated to is for any and all library creators to have a nice simple place to post and curate their work.  *.BI and *.BM libraries are useful expansion which allow QB64 to do things that it couldn't do before, and it's an easy way for *anyone* to contribute to the language -- so there should also be an easy place place where they can easily keep, maintain, and make available their stuff.

If you're a creator of *BI or *.BM libraries, and you want to share them with the rest of the world, post me a comment here and I'll set you up your own little corner of the web -- with full moderator rights and authority there -- and you'll have a spot to highlight and maintain all that you do and share.

Hi Steve . I know you must still have a lot on your plate getting this site organized, so there is no hurry in responding to this post.
I have been checking things out and have a few questions on how things work and how you may envision how members should navigate around the site.

The Home page is the Portal page correct. There is no other page that you would recommend a LOGIN member to use, v's an UNlogin or visitor?

On the Portal page, there are 4 main screen to jump to - General Discussion, Site Suggestions, Programs, Work in Progress. Is that correct, or will/does the Portal page have many more places to jump directly to?

I absolutely love the personal welcome column. Its there whether I login in or not. My question here is in the SEARCH. What can I search here? Is it the entire site including the wiki or the entire site excluding the wiki? Any chance the search could include the web? Like search "How many feet in a mile?".  

Not sure I understand what "Thread Subscription" is all about. Is it a connection to a particular topic in general discussions, just my topic in general discussions, just follow all the postings of a particular member or all of the above??

Is there a way of holding a Post which is in the process of being composed, jumping out to say General Discussions, then jump back to complete the Post in progress without Saving a Draft??

Thanks Steve

The last QB64 site that I was on has been down for several days... "Vince" from 'Basic4all' posted a link to this site... Voila! Signed up and ready to go... lol
