It's a really mid-term build, which may seem like it brakes more than it adds, but we have to test some things (this time it's mostly performance-related).
So, I'd recommend spending your weekend with your loved ones, on a beach or just outdoors. We'll show a much more exciting update next week.
Thank you for your bug reports and feature suggestions. Every one of them is filed and considered.
BTW, Julia and I are in San Diego now for 1 day. Anyone willing to catch up, drop me an email (uno@boonex.com).
Below is the legacy version of the Boonex site, maintained for Dolphin.Pro 7.x support.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.

Doesent display many of the icons,and freezes :(
I tried 5 times,but just freezes while loading
If Yslow is anything to go by, the way the current components are set up on this beta, then Dolphin 7 should be a fair bit faster than Dolphin 6.4.
my bug reports and suggestions are :
- some bugs in the alpha build 14 : not working with ie7
- remove the get members email
- make the floating menu more smaller (like facebook)
- make the desktop work in real time (when a member disconnect it still showing it connected)
- integrate the openinviter or create yours because it's a necessary feature to grow our social network like facebook and others
- add the messenger members
- display only the categories of see more
what if making dolphin widget compatible with red5.... because i already use red5 for another website and i cant install red5 and rms on the same server.... so you got a solution... dont want to buy 2 server...
so it is possible to use rms with other red5 apps or the inverse? or make the widget compatible with both red5 and rms? or someone know a way to install both red5 and rms on a dedicated server...
thx
Here is a Dolphin bashing page that i found: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=515666
The gripes include; pages loading slowly, slow or no support and too buggy to ever use.
Have these issues been addressed with 7? Are there any facts on this page?
Thank you in advance
<b>What is wrong</b>: No one of BoonEx staff is a scammer. All of them are helpful, honnest and friendly persons.
Yulia Chibisova AKA Yulia Sivtsova CHANGED NAMES TO ANDREY BOONE!!!!!!!
I hope to my guts this is not true but also why i'm not paying a dime to this company unless i see otherwise...
people read this forum!!
I didn't get the impression that it was a scam but more like volunteer work and they will get around to me when they get to me.
I also understand that you can find a blog/forum see more
In IE , this users profile music starts playing right away, in Firefox, it doesent, and doesent even show music player
here are a couple of observations:
1) the floating menu however covers up the bottom links and only3-4 are accessible and part of the copyright is covered by it as well.
2) in the homepage i noticed that the thumbnails in profile photos and photo gallery display the size thereof, i.e. 200x200 whereas members and leaders thumbnail do not display such. why is that and is this important? i think not. i much rather see a link to that member's profile or country of see more
it contain not only php scripts, but also flash, xml, jquery(javascript), it really complex...
but it really nice code, TIDY CODE, so nice
Sorry Orca, but thats the way many feel.
Private profiles as well as private photos & private video is a must for a dating/ adult site :-)
I read this and I agree; "adavanced affiliate system that every member will get referral link after sign up."
A banner system to control banners on every page.
Anyway, see more

Its very resource hungry on the server as well as on the browser.
Something light like this would be nice...

thank you for the new update .. I checked the site and I saw bugs so much in IE7 I believe the boonex team knew it and work for correct it so i don't want select the problems because this is test site :) .. anyway I have some notes about the new features and some new suggestions but first I want thanks Andrey and all boonex team for listen our last notes and suggestios and application it as fast thank you :
about my notes and suggestions :
1- re-desgin the floating menu as more smaller see more
I believe the user is the only one who should decide who gets their email address and that offering that option to paid members is almost the same as selling email addresses.
Also I know that I am not the only one who feels this way but I am tired of users joining and not ever posting a photo. So is there see more
This is an option in Membership level to allow only some membership level to get the email address of other members...
Wow, I've read allot and people sometimes don't know when they are being scammed or not!! "BUT SOME OF THE STUFF I'VE READ SORTA MAKES SENSE." Before people voted against you they should read that forum.http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=515666 see more
Go to see a doctor as soon as you can ! Your brain is gravely damaged, but maybe a few neurons still can be saved :-))
Please excuse my previous post above.
Though there will be negative aswell aswell as postive feedback about Dolphin. I still like it regardless, as i've come to realize that andrey(unobooonex and boonex staff haVE come so far as to listen to us and work so hard and even take guys like myself to make bad judgements about them i have much respect.I from this day forward will see more
- Vbulletin integration should be a top priority as many of us purchased Vbulletin because Dolphin ver 6 listed it as an integration feature.
- Classifieds need more granular drilldown levels example: Auto parts || Chevrolet || Interior (at lease 3 levels like multiple subcategories in a forum)
- Classifieds should have editable and searchable fields, single price feature (instead of high and low), and be able to list see more
people slag off boonex and dolphin and they are usually the people that have no concept of what it is or its needs.
80% of the issues with dolphin are host related, and if you do not have the correct host or server settings then dolphin just wont work.
it needs to be hosted on servers that are setup for it. i have 2 dedicated hosting servers both setup just for Dolphin i pay almost $600 a month for the servers, i can assure you see more
Hmmm, not sure how truthful you are being there, seems this post is self-serving. I understand you offer 3rd party services for dolphin and you are a host but to paint the new software with such a wide brush is not being very kind to other resellers or the dolphin software / developers for that matter.
The truth is, nobody knows how the new version will perform since it isn't even in alpha let alone see more
"The truth is, nobody knows how the new version will perform since it isn't even in alpha let alone beta mode yet. I know plenty of folks that run WordPress, Drupal, PivotX as well as Etomite on cheap servers with no issues that could not be addressed by going to a faster/larger sever when and if the membership / visitors was to actually climb in large numbers."
to compare Dolphin to wordpress, just shows your total lack of Knowledge about servers and hosting and dolphin.

On another note, this is probably one of the best scripts or packages or whatever that I have worked with....

for recruiters to use Dolphin 7
Based upon your programming skills and your experience with Dolphin how difficult will it be to maintain the Dolphin navigation structure and:
1.) Replace Orca and integrate the Simple Machines Forum
2.) Replace the blog and integrate Wordpress w/Gallery2
3.) Replace the Event calendar and integrate WEBCALENDAR http://www.ma.utexas.edu/webcalendar
4.) Develop an accounting mod to provide Quickbooks throughput for every financial transaction handled.

Anyway, yesterday I came across a community site which impressed me in design, functionality and speed. http://faniq.com - even I'm not a sports fanatic, the site caught my attention.
Maybe some inspiration for the experts here.
As per one of your past post, I was thinking that the download would be available this friday but it's sunday and still no update for this week???
Still waiting and would love to hear an update...
Thanks
I do have a few questions with regards to Dolphin 7.
One of them being, notifications.
Group notifications, blog comment notifications is something my members are requesting. Will this be included in Dolphin see more
P.
Just wondering how long we are looking at til a possible beta release of Hookie. Have numerous communities waiting on it, thought to use 6, but bit pointless if 7 not to far away?
who can view profile
who can comment
who can email me
html comment option
email notificacion....
etc
thanks :)
That's good :-)
But I don't see anywhere a "Profile Files" feature ??? What a pity if such feature will not be implemented ! That could be a very useful feature to, for example, upload a printable resume (Curriculum Vitae)...
firefox rox. im not even going to accommodate ie
