Many Drupal things are best done in a UNIX-like environment. One solution is to run a Linux distribution like Ubuntu in a virtual machine, as is provided by http://drupal.org/project/quickstart. Another solution (on Microsoft Windows) is Cygwin, to bring the power of the UNIX command line to Windows.

A mozilla magazine forum poster, gensym, described it well on March 8th, 2010:

A concrete example is when the "extended running time of a script" is caused by (or triggered while) a File Save dialog is open: the unresponsive script warning dialog will then pop up logically _behind_ the File Save dialog (at least in Mac OS X, panther (10.3) through leopard (10.5)).

Moshe on browsing the database at the Boston

He uses the Mac program SequelPro (completely free and open source). http://www.sequelpro.com/

PHPmyadmin: http://www.phpmyadmin.net

Find $db_url in settings.php

username, password, host, and database name.

Can put this data into Sequel Pro.

Bottom line: as long as you have a backup, do not be afraid to fiddle with your database!

10:22 benjamin-agaric: Answer: it can be done through Drupal core- an advanced action simply has to be configured first at admin/config/system/actions/configure and then back to trigger configuration.

There is no accurate registration date information for the first couple years, the first couple thousand users, of Drupal.org's history. There is even a discrepancy between the posted "Member for" dates and the apparent launch of the site.

Between users http://drupal.org/user/2119 and http://drupal.org/user/2120 the date of registration (time on site, or "Member for") jumps by two years and two weeks.
