Making a forum

[Sorunome]

Well, I'm making a forum currently with PHP.
Well, it is just a general forum, I just do it coz of the fun
What I have already:
 - Listing topic and forum board from the mySQL databank
 - Listing a topic
 - Quick reply on topic (just works if your logged in)
 - Register and verify via email
 - BB-Code parser (need to add some more options)

ToDos:
 - some better CSS
 - creating a new topic
 - allow admins to create new forum boards
 - some chat?
 - new posts stuff
 - editing posts
 - ...

Tell what you think about it!

Well, I don't know... after all, I no has link

One thing, though: your sign-up form is a bit weirdly arranged:
instead of this:

Spoiler For Spoiler:

password
email
retype password
retype email

I'd probably do this:

Spoiler For Spoiler:

password
retype password
email
retype email

EDIT:

* turiq can't spell today... 'passwod'

[Sorunome]

Haha, why i didn't post the link...well, I could, http://forum.sorunome.de
As you notice you can't access it.
And I sorted it that way on purpose that there is more time between retyping.

Isn't it also handy againsy bots? Pk, most bots first look at the fieldname, but i'm sure there are bots who just always type in the same, and those are then a very little few bots who can't spam your forum anymore

[Sorunome]

For stopping bot spamming I need to add hidden text fields, that works pretty well.

Already have an account!!

It would be nice to see a screenshot of how it looks like. There isn't any preview anywhere

[Sorunome]

well, it is atm online at forum.sorunome.de
If you want to you can pm me a username and passwd so you can access it, but you'd have to promise not to hack it as it's still possible, was to lazy to prevent that so far

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah I meant a guest-available preview for everyone

[Sorunome]

Well, as it is hackable at this point i won't make it online for everyone, I'd fear that people would delete my databases.

[p2]

what's about a bot, automatically restoring it all every 30 minutes?

wouldn't that be possible?

[Sorunome]

That would be just some massive dataflow...and then you just need to hack the bot and changes will be deleted after 30 minuets.

[p2]

oh...
ok, I agree this won't be a good solution!

[Sorunome]

Ok, now you can create topics and I work a bit on the styling. This is how it looks at the moment:

The cool thing is that it won't load the threads from the server until you hit 'load more', and once loaded from the server and you hit 'Show less' it only says 'Show more' - and it doesn't need to load from the server again!

Yeah I meant a guest-available preview for everyone

Now it is!
Have fun exploring and trying stuff out guys
