Migration to New Forum

[Jugoslav_Dujic]

Asall of you who visited the new Forum have certainly noticed, formatting of old messages is screwed :smileysad:. It looks as if it needs a bit of parsing, especially for

 and [url] tags. The way it is now, old posted codes with 
 tags are unusable.

While I'm here, let me perform a quick test on early Forum bugs:

program BOZ

integer:: a(3,3) = (/1,0,0, 0,1,0, 0,0,1/)
integer:: b(3,3) = (/2,0,0, 0,2,0, 0,0,2/)
integer:: i(2) = (/1,3/)

a(i,:) = a(i,:)+b(i,:)

end program BOZ

Sigh - I was told that a preformatted button would be available.

This board does not use the square-bracket tags. Rather, you select Edit as HTML and use

. We'll add some sort of "code" format soon.

The forum is a lot faster than before :smileysurprised:

However on some of the message threads it takes a really large amount of horizontal dispaly width to read without horizontal scrolling. For example the first page of this thread needs about 3000 pixels of horizontal display. :smileytongue:

The smileys are very useful. I especially appreciate the diversity provided: yellow smiley people, grey robots, brown males, and pink females. I'm keeping my Intel stock. :robotvery-happy:

Steve -

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.

This is "legacy code" that has been updated with a few more modern enhancements (like an INTERFACE). It uses many bad programming tricks of the past (equivalencing an array of characters with an array of reals, setting up a base array name in a common block and then referencing other variables in the common block by indexing beyond the base array declared bounds, etc.). The compiler, being too literal at times, is causing many headaches and forcing us to insert even more convoluted programming tricks to fool it into accepting the code rather than having to rewrite the application in a better way.

Converting legacy code like this has always been a looming nightmare. We may be going out to slay this dragon sooner than we think. This may be a boon for Fortran programmers much like Y2K was for COBOL coders.

We're still working on straightening out the links and formatting...
