As u know there are many engines for forums (IP.Board, vBulletin, phpBB)
how much PM I can send from one account from this engines?
we are limited or not?
I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but in phpBB the number of recipients is set by the board administrator

I want to bulk create thousands of web stories (of the AMP/Google variety) using a standardized AMP web stories template populated with text and images from my database.
Anyone have any ideas? I am not a coder, but may be able to follow if you assume I know nothing :) Thanks for your consideration and time.
I have looked in GitHub and at several online services that provide tools to make web stories, but none offer it. VisualStories claims to offer an API that does this, but when I asked for paid access said they were not sharing this with customers anymore because they found that creating stories individually produced better results.
Thanks!

ServiceStack authors/community: you have done impressive job!
Outside of SO, I was wondering if there is an up to date list of products/apps using ServiceStack?
Or maybe ServiceStack app/architectural patterns for larger apps (with MQ) ? I looked at some of the suggested demo apps in SS github and I might have missed it if there is any, but just looking for something bigger/larger to explore apps with big numbers of domains. Maybe a fake subscription saas online app for some fictional rest API ? ...
I obviously am after reference materials to have SS in the list of contender framework for an upcoming project.
Anyways I hope I didn't miss a reference from SS large amount of documentation!
StackOverflow isn't the right place to ask non-technical questions like this, you can try the Google+ ServiceStack Community if you're not a Customer, or the ServiceStack Customer Forums if you are.
I previously answered a question similar on broadly Who's using ServiceStack in January 2015, since then ServiceStack Customer base has grown considerably where we have several Fortune 500 Customers, unfortunately we're not able to disclose any specific Customer info as we have several NDA's with large companies prohibiting any disclosure which we've extended as a matter of policy to never disclose any of our Customer details for Marketing purposes or otherwise.
So for specifics you'll need to ask the Google Community directly where some of our Customers may volunteer their info themselves.
A good starting point is to study ServiceStack apps in GitHub.
I am wondering if there is anywhere I can to give suggestions to the developers. I love spotify and I use it daily, at least! There are just a few things that I think would be great improvements. Such as, adding a playlist that includes all songs in every playlist that you, personally make. Or something similar to that. It would also be really helpful and convenient if you had the option to organize playlists alphabetically. Please let me know if there is a place where these ideas can be heard!
Thanks!
This is a great point and this is a problem that we've recognised as well. We're currently working on new ways of creating a discussion between third party developers and the teams that works on the APIs, so please stay tuned and have a look at the Developer site from time to time. If you've got feature suggestions for Spotify in general, there's the Spotify Ideas forum. We also monitor #SpotifyPlatform on Twitter for API related topics.
Can anyone recommend resources to learn how to develop websites, as opposed to web applications?
I am looking to develop a website for a consulting company to be precise. I would be more interested in best practices for creating the layout of a website (user appeal, eye candy, not an eye sore)
Thanks

It really depends upon the language you want to use, your current skill sets, who's going to maintain the site, what OS the site will be hosted on etc etc.
I suspect you need to narrow down your question.
What do you mean by web site rather than web application? Are you talking about the dynamic nature of the content or somethign else?
update
If you're looking for discussions on design of websites (visual design, UX etc) then I'm a great fan of Smashing Magazine.
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/
It doesn't often speak about MS technologies (ASP.NET etc) but it's a great place to see discussions and papers on "what makes a great website". Some recent examples:
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/05/15/optimizing-conversion-rates-its-all-about-usability/
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/05/14/non-profit-website-design-examples-and-best-practices/
Subscribe to their RSS feed and see what those colouring-in people get up to.
Here's your first port of call.
Unless you're artistically inclined, I recommend purchasing or contracting the template design to someone who is skilled in this area.
For $60 a year, you can have unlimited downloads and unlimited use of all the templates at the following site:
http://www.dreamtemplate.com/
There are many more here:
http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates.php
http://www.w3schools.com/
for purely informational sites, html, and css will probably be plenty, though I think I would reccomend using wordpress if you're just trying to put content on the internet
If you speak German or French, http://www.selfhtml.org is quite a good resource.
Otherwise, I would recommend http://www.w3schools.com/ or http://htmldog.com/. Both are very good as they really go deeply into the matter and tell about standards from the beginning.
sitepoint.com
Their best content is packaged in their books, but their articles are good, too. Covers design best-practices and web standards, but also has good tips on the business of web design and managing clients.
You may want to look at the alistapart website.
simply the best I have seen for this.
I would also - since I have just been reminded of it use
http://www.webmonkey.com/
http://w3schools.com/
http://www.w3schools.com/ is a good start.
My company is planning to start a forum for our software product which the clients can refer for general FAQ's, problems etc.
Right now we are planning to have:-
User manuals.
Best practices for different section's of the application
Frequently faced problems.
Forum where user can discuss issues with development team.
Any other ideas?
Edit:-
We have RSS and E-mail notification subscription to the forum.
Forum where user can discuss issues
with development team.
I don't know if this is a euphemism for "issue tracker" but if not, make sure you include a way for people to submit bug/feature/enhancement reports and track them to completion. Nothing is worse than not being able to submit a bug report or being able to submit a bug report but only into a black hole.
Communication is key.
If you add an issue tracker as suggested by Kevin, your list seems pretty ok to me.
I'd also suggest that you do not start out with too many different services that require interaction from your side (e.g. your developers) at first - I've seen (too) many good initiatives die simply because nobody in the company had enough time e.g. for regular answering of the forum questions.
In your case, I guess "best practices", "frequent problems" and the forum will all consume regular time from your dev team if you want to keep them alive and up-to-date, especially in the beginning. So I would not add more services at the beginning but make sure to get these right (and you can always add more services later on if you find that the users need them :-).
You.
Show that you care about your customers.
