I am currently working on forum software. I've been able to create a working php forum in six hours. Now, fortunately for myself, that leaves a lot of time for extra features. I've done the six hour forum three times, each time getting much better. It's powered with php. Well, the last six hour forum focused on profiles and personal messaging. It was pretty nice. Now, like my other two six hour forums, I deleted all the files and emptied the Recycling Bin. This time, on the fourth go, I'll be hoping to base the forum on some of your feedback. What are some features that you absolutely love about Invision Power Board? phpBB? WowBB? vBulletin? I'll listen to anything you have to say. ![]() For anybody interested, just learn JavaScript. It will make all other coding languages lass confusing. |

I don't have the time to suggest much right now but good luck with the software ![]() I guess my prime concern would be that you make it as secure as possible

Don't bloat it. What we lack is a serisouly simple and down to the point forum system. That's why I love MyTopix so much. Also keep in mind, try to go for abnormal layouts, go with something new, look at MyTopix, IPB, vB, phpBB, Ikon, SMF, etc, and get ideas on how you'll make yours look different from the rest. And if you'd be so kind as to PM me your AIM or MSN info (lost it a long time ago, back from IFP), I'd love to try to help, or just watch your code ![]() Also, what license will you use? GPL I hope? |

I'm up for a PM (link in sig) to see how this goes along. I'm not php-minded, but simply curious, especially if you you follow Myr's advice. |

When making it have different features but have the option to not activate them. Like while installing the forum system you can have a option to install or not install a shop script.. And don't have the acp where if a admin has a ip that changes like mine, they can't log in due to having the wrong ip. |

Like Myr said, don't bloat it. Keep it a very simple, easy to use layout, but make it different from all of the others. That will make it stand out. I think it would also be cool if you could make a customizable "member stat panel," (Like where the post count is), that the admin can set the details using scripting, so you could have a reputation system etc. |

Add the inline moderation like the one in IPB. Easy to use and efficient.
