Well, I finally decided I wanted to try writing my own forum code. And here it is!
Not much to look at yet, but it's at least operational now.
This is the first stage of a couple other projects I'd like to do, so if anyone would like to help me shake this down, it'd be nice...

I just registered.
The forum looks nice. Not as polished as phpBB, but it looks cool nonetheless.
It doesn't support more than one line in posts, however.
That sucks...

The newlines are in fact in there, but they aren't properly parsed yet. I think I'll be getting the post editor done first, then work on better parsing.
EDIT: both of which are done. Well, the parser could always be better, but it does some stuff now.

phpBB itself is unpolished as it's code is so fricken jumbled. SMF is polished.
Tangent, what language did you code this in? PHP? Perl?

PHP. Didn't the URL give a hint?

The reason that phpBB looks so complimicated is a) a diffrent coding style than your used to and b)it was designed to be so dynamic that the code looks complicated to take into account that. (at least thats what it was in phpbb2 when i looked at it)

I don't mean the coding, I mean the actual GUI. I can't code (much) to save my life. I can mess and muck around with some system files, but I can't code a website, much less a forum.

Ah, the weekend. If anybody wouldn't mind, could they post some feature requests? It'd help to know what the forum needs.

Technically, there's backend support for them. But I don't have the upload/selection script done yet.

Coolios.
Not much of profiles there. Why not add a member table and store a bunch of serialized data for each member? Like gender, age, birthday, etc...

I could add a bio field, perhaps. Don't really see any compelling reason for explicitly storing the other stuff.

Actually, I could probably do reCaptcha, if it's as simple to use as it looks. They claim only four lines of code are needed...
Add that to the wish-list thread, please, will you?
At some point, I need to refactor my view pages. Move the database queries to a single file, create a generic row iterator, etc.
Eventually, I hope to reduce the database to 2 tables + user data.
I like my simple theme API, though. Still, could stand to streamline it more.
