View Full Version : I need suggestions...
I'm beginning to write and design a forum software (ala phpBB, VBull, IKonboard, etc).
I want suggestions and features you'd like to see.
What don't you like about this boards (or others) functionality?
Seen any features on other boards you like and would like to see?
Any cool, intresting, out of the box ideas? (The board is based on an out of the box idea, I'll go into detail if you want)
I basically just want end-user feedback about the good and the bad of the forum's you've used....
at the end of the thread, it should have a reply textarea, so you dont have to click the reply button if you dont want. preludeonline.com has this and i use it all the time.
Oh yeah, it would also be cool if that everytime you posted, your car becomes faster and more dependable.

I like that idea. Wait... nevermind, DSM's are always dependable :mrgreen:

It's called a quick reply hack.... I tried to install it on this board but, it failed in a horrible fashion...
I might go back and attempt it again one day when I'm in a good mood to debug crazy phpBB errors...
Keep em' coming

Just don't put "" anywhere on it, and everyone will like it. :shock: <~~~ for you Frosty.
one thing that might be obvious is the ability to upload stats/pictars of ur ride. i have a command-line program somewhere that'll convert most images as well as resizing them automatically, which is cool cuz you can use it to make thumbnails without having to do anything manually

Yeah, a NEW TOPIC button on the main menu page, I don't need to visit a forum to know I want to create a topic there.
Adam - speaking of uploading ride info/pics... i THINK i found a way that I can write that code in the language that I know, giving the users ability to manage that information WITHOUT me having access to your passwords table. I think i can easily come up with an encryption method to allow access to my program without me needing any password info.
if ur a haxor, here's some info on the encryption method:
0110001001111001001000000110110101100001011011100110100101110000011101010110110001100001011101000110100101101110011001110010000001110100011010000110010100100000011101010111001101100101011100100010000001101001011001000010000001100001011011100110010000100000011011110111010001101000011001010111001000100000011001000111100101101110011000010110110101101001011000110010000001101001011011100111010001100101011001110110010101110010011100110010000000101000011011000110100101101011011001010010000001110100011010000110010100100000011001000110000101110100011001010010000001100110011011110111001000100000011010010110111001110011011101000110000101101110011000110110010100101001001011000010000001101001011101000010000001110111011011110111010101101100011001000010000001100010011001010010000001110000011100100110010101110100011101000111100100100000011001010110000101110011011110010010000001110100011011110010000001100011011011110110110101100101001000000111010101110000001000000111011101101001011101000110100000100000011000010010000001110000011100100110010101110100011101000111100100100000011100110110010101100011011101010111001001100101001000000110110101100101011101000110100001101111011001000000110100001010000011010000101001101111011001100010000001100011011011110111010101110010011100110110010100101100001000000111010001101000011001010111001001100101001001110111001100100000011011010110111101110010011001010010000001110100011011110010000001101001011101000010000001110100011010000110000101101110001000000110100101101101001000000111011101110010011010010111010001101001011011100110011100100000011010000110010101110010011001010010110000100000011000100111010101110100001000000111100101101111011101010010000001110000011100100110111101100010011000010110001001101100011110010010000001100111011001010111010000100000011101000110100001100101001000000110010001110010011010010110011001110100
I've seen that encryption before and I don't really give any credence or validity to anything but MD5...
You can have all the access you want to the passwords table I don't care
because it's mathematically impossible to reverse the encryption. So
just PM me what you want to do (btw there are quite a few image upload
scripts in PHP... I just don't wanna waste my disk space on the server)
and I'll look through the scripts.

well, encrypted passwords definitly wouldnt do me any good. bottom line is, id be happy to write the code in the language i know (i dont know php) and store the images (as long as its not over like 5 mb or so), but we would need to figure out some kind of authentication thing where only someone who has logged in here correctly could get in there
as far as the encryption that i mentioned, of course its very possible to over-come it by brute force, but whose gonna even try? The thing im thinking about would take thousands upon thousands of brute force attempts (or exponentially more if i added a couple steps) to overcome.
ive already written most of the code (an old site of mine)
go to http://www.columbiatuners.com/cola
and log in using:
username:test
password:test
and go to My Rides - Pics feel free to test it out
I could probably teach you PHP in about 5 hours...
I actually would love to have a second person that knows it
I come in and out of webdesign work that I could always use
a 2nd pair of eyes on..
I'm also at the design(Pseduo code) stage of a big project I want to have launched by
Summer.... Mike? You still out there :D I'd love to see those sketchs some time
that sounds cool. ive been wanting to learn PHP and mySQL for a long time. The software i use is proprietary and is $1000/copy, so its hard to find work. im prolly free next weekend if you got some time to show me some shit that'd be sweet.

Whenever... Just wing me an IM
I can give you your own webspace and MySQL accounts to play with... I have a few servers out there I use so I'm sure no one would mind...
