I still don't get Google Wave. It makes no sense to me, whatsoever. \o/

I think we should just get rid of the internet and everyone should live off of Twitter. 140 characters makes everything simpler.

I updated to phpBB3 and I'm not so happy with my forum, link is in sig.

Blech, I need a new style. Anyone have any ideas on Nintendo-related styles? I want to make one that looks like NES-style, I'm a good pixel artist.

Tyler March 22nd, 2010 7:32 PM

I have no problem with phpBB, I find it really easy to customize. I remember back a couple years ago I modded it out to be just like vB. It was really nice. I wish I still had the copy, but oh well. phpBB2 was what I used. I never really tried phpBB3 since I thought it was just ugly IMO.

@ Heart's Soul
Maybe try to make a white and red based theme, then you can gradually develop it.

Heart's Soul March 23rd, 2010 4:17 PM

I might add blue, but now I'm too lazy and I might make it look like a GameBoy.

Or I'll just make a GameBoy.

aRedMoon March 23rd, 2010 6:47 PM

phpBB3 was fun to play with.... nothing more

Heart's Soul March 24th, 2010 2:35 PM

phpBB3 is, at the moment, my choice for my forum. phpBB2 is lacking than phpBB3 and I don't really want to change.

Faltzer March 24th, 2010 6:38 PM

Why would you even consider using phpBB2 for a second.

Oh, I mean, because some people prefer the old-school feel of pre-web-2.0-craze forum software and don't mind patching security issues to achieve it. I personally am one of those people — I absolutely despise the look and feel of IPB 3, vB 4, etc. :/

If you have an issue with phpBB3's design concepts, then change the theme to suit that "old school feel of pre-web-2.0.-craze." Build a "Retro-phpBB" theme for phpBB3; distribute it and let others build off it. Sacrificing security, quality and support for the sake of "old school" is a non-substantial reason. Unlike your mom, mine agrees that phpBB2's code base is terrible, and is a perfect example for how forums should not be coded. Speaking of which:

How can there be a Web 1.0 forum?

"Design concepts" have nothing to do with Web 2.0. I guess if you want to pretend your definition is correct despite knowing you are wrong, then I'll be careful not to listen to anything you say when communicating with you.

I like modern houses.

The open floor plan and all?

It's sexy, ya know.

;)

What did that have to do with anything?

Also, what about LiteBulletin?

That's Greg's sense of humor. :) haha

LiteBulletin I think is just a disgrace. It's very ugly and it's nothing more than just MyBB modded out. Plus I'm not really a fan of the creators.

I agree. LiteBulletin is the worse fork in existence. LiteBulletin doesn't add any new concepts nor fix any issues with foruming. If it wasn't ripping off of MyBB's code base 100% with no new additions, it was ripping off of IP.Board 3's design. LiteBulletin should be a plug-in, not a fork.

Uecil March 27th, 2010 6:40 AM

um, sorry if this is a noobish kind of question. but does anybody know a free website builder that will support cute news?

If I remember correctly, they are planning on making their own with their own code. They say it's suppose change a lot of stuff with forums, which I highly doubt.

I don't think so... Learn HTML/CSS it's not that hard.

Considering that most free website hosts do not provide FTP or MySQL databases, I think it would be a bit difficult to find a free website builder to support Cute News. You do know that Cute News is PHP, so it is a bit more advanced and harder to learn than HTML and CSS. Unless you have a paid host like Dreamhost or GoDaddy,etc.. then I don't think you will be able to utilize Cute News, especially since you do need some knowledge of coding PHP.

I do know that FreeHostia.com gives you MySQL and FTP support with their free program, though I am not sure about SiteBuilder, the fact that they also require personal information makes me uneasy about them.

Why even bother. They didn't provide anything from the get-go; it's not like this is going to be any different.

Actually you do need some HTML and PHP knowledge if you look at their support forums to get started. At the very least you need some basic HTML knowledge.

Again, no; you have no idea of what you're talking about. To modify the CutePHP package internals, yes, you should already know how to code in PHP; that's a given. For general usage, you do not need PHP. The fact that CuteNews has a simple step-by-step wizard to integrate news onto your site is proof of this.

Your first link speaks of templating, which takes care of formatting the data that the controller returns, which has to do with mark-up and replacement tokens.

Also, don't use CuteNews 1.4.6; it has a plethora of obvious security vulnerabilities.

WonderGirl March 27th, 2010 9:15 AM

which forum type is free and close to vbulletin?

Ah, I see where you are coming from now. Though you agree it would be helpful to know PHP, HTML, and so forth anyways.

I wouldn't say the former is helpful at all.
