July 15, 201214 yr Author is it complete yet? i checked links not working? No As said above its work in progress, try the links now
July 15, 201214 yr Looks good so far, biggest issues I've found when running forums are security and stopping spam, so as long as everything at the back end looks as good as the front end then I will look forward to trying it out when it's done
July 15, 201214 yr Author Looks promising Shaun. Didn't realise you had a new account here! Thanks, Yh, My other account has gone wrong, If i login the board claims theres something wrong with the database so unable to login so had to create another account Looks good so far, biggest issues I've found when running forums are security and stopping spam, so as long as everything at the back end looks as good as the front end then I will look forward to trying it out when it's done Yh Now the idea about SPAM is we have a text database on my server side and your forum copy will recieve the updates of known spam providers automaticly

July 28, 201214 yr Author Why not use the Akismet API? Much bigger sample to work from. Not a bad idea at all To be fair I had totally forgot about these guys! thanks!
July 28, 201214 yr Author Not a bad idea at all To be fair I had totally forgot about these guys! thanks! Just had a look and its going to cost money to link to there api, considering this is free software im not sure users will want to pay for additional stuff like this.
July 28, 201214 yr Author Looking good shaun, be interesting to play around with it when it's done. Thank you Not much going on in the front end now as im working on the ACP for features to function correctly on the front end, Its a huge job and as you can see its taken 20 days to get this far.
July 29, 201214 yr That's not bad for 20 days - assuming it's all secure! Using the MVC architecture I assume? Is it built on a framework?
July 29, 201214 yr Author That's not bad for 20 days - assuming it's all secure! Using the MVC architecture I assume? Is it built on a framework? Its not under any framework at all, Just a bunch of classes and useful methods, Its secure no doubt, I love coding and building new projects and for code that's already written for me, it takes away the fun side of it all There's advantages and disadvantage's for having a nice framework, I just prefer to do it my way to be fair Edit: There still some room for improvement later on in the project Edited July 29, 201214 yr by NitroPhysix

Can't argue against the usefulness of frameworks in general, but if you prefer to write your own code, write your own framework.
