Not bad, not bad at all. It's nice to see a design variation once in a while. Try adding some catagory listings, so you can go back to the index. It's looking good. I would love to see updates every so often. Good luck.

[Florx]

Nice suggestion +rep.

Was planning on doing that next :p

[Beau]

Got a mysql error as soon as I tried posting :P

[Florx]

Oh dear. I know why. Lemme fix :p

Its cause my localhost and my server have different settings.

Edit: FIXED

I do think there will be a lot of interest in it well hope as i think i would use it as i am sick of all the known forum.

[Florx]

I know what you mean. This is why i'm making it :)

I took a look around all the major forums are IBP or Vbulletin.

:S WHY? :S

Lol :)

i got an thing you could add is user group colouring maybe.
and in firefox the login is over the forum a bit.

[Florx]

Hmm :)

Yeahhh Good idea (+rep)

[VistaBoy]

why not ill ask

is it coded in classes and is the template easy to edit for when you release it.

[Florx]

No lol.

Im not a big fan of classes. I prefer just doing things on the fly.

[VistaBoy]

Cool can not wait :) and is the login box meant to be over the forum bit a bit as in firefox it is.

[Florx]

Your screen res isnt high enough. Its meant to be stuck to the side but I can't do CSS to save my life so its prob faulty. I use firefox too :p

I believe he said he made it himself, try reading?
And it's not finished, so why would he release it now?

[Verrou]

When you goto member id's if you type in a non existant member id eg. 1212 it just shows the blank info. Maybe make an error page?

[craigg.]

I just had a quick flick through your code and I noticed you have " style="" " on a couple of your tags, you could easily add a class/id into your external css document. Also, try working in percent? It would save a lot of hasstle with other screen sizes (especially with the login area).

[redtom]

Yeah I 100% agree there, use %, it's alot better.

Also you could do with making the threads bump with in posts.

Percent - will do and whats the second point? Make the threads bump with in posts??? :S

[craigg.]

So when a new comment is added in an old thread, the thread goes to the top of the list. I think that's what Tom means.

[Florx]

Ahh okey dokey!

[Blob]

Why are you rushing this? You will have finished in like a week, and it will be really crap (coding and features) because you rushed it. I dont think vB or IPB created it in like a week and goes OH LOL LETS MAKE A FORUM IN ONE WEEK ! WOO DONE AND ITS LIKE CRAP!

[Florx]

Im not rushing it. I just have loads of time so I decided to do a project.

[redtom]

So when a new comment is added in an old thread, the thread goes to the top of the list. I think that's what Tom means.

Yeah sorry thats what I mean, I shouls of put


bump with posts.

instead of


bump with in posts.

EDIT: and yeah, I think you've rushed it as your trying to put stuff in like the views feature, but that just increases every time some one refreshes the page, what isn't good.

[Florx]

I haven't finished it yet!

Update:

Views are unique now :)

[Florx]

Update:

Edit Signature (DONE)
Change password (DONE)

[redtom]

Whats the admin side of things look like so far, or is it just all done manuely for now?

[Florx]

Theres no admin tools apart from locking the thread and thats it :p

What admin tools should there be?

[MrCraig]

Make new forums
Make Categories (if your doing)
User Management
Pruning
Filter

etc etc etc.

[Florx]

Il do them tomorrow :)

[d17c]

A couple of things...
I don't like the position of the login box, maybe move it down so it aligns with the rest?
And I know this is only a small thing, but, the username entry field and the password entry field aren't aligned, which annoys me, but I doubt it would annoy anyone else.

[Florx]

I need somebody who is actually good at css to tell me where that needs to go and how please?

[Florx]

Update:

Edit post and delete post for admins now works.

Il add the edit post for the user later. But now im going making some muffins :)

[ScottDiamond.]

Move thread, pin thread, swipe thread (deletes all posts bar original), temporarly shut thread, trash thread (sends to a forum set up in preferances), delete thread, edit thread.

etc etc

[Florx]

Update:

Edit avatar page now works :)

Max file size: 150px by 150px!

Hehe
