Nothing wrong with bloat as long as it's optional. You can turn features off, but you can't turn them on if they are not there. I consider PHPBB to be a basic forum with the basic set of features you need for a proper forum. Soemthing like Fusetalk is total bloat.

If you really wanted to download it all you had to do was ask. It's not available for public download but that doesn't mean I won't share the code with you. I just wanted to make sure you understood that it's not something I consider to be 100% complete before you asked (or I offered). But as you can see... it's obviously fully functional. I just have more 'bloat' to add when I find the time. ...:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

[quote] plus I'm too busy or lazy too finish it... take your pick :)[/quote] I was just pointing out the difference between Ray's which is all of the basics plus a little flare... compared to a ton of bloated flare (like mine). Of course I like mine... I wrote it but Ray's is all a message board needs to be. I really don't know that I'll ever finish/release mine as long as Ray keeps up with his. .....:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

It's got all the functionality you "need" in a forum and then some. Mine (http://acoderslife.com/msgbrd) also has all the functionality but it's bloated with all the bells and whistles you find in phpbb (skins, frilly little icons, pms, groups, bbml, etc...) plus I'm too busy or lazy too finish it... take your pick :) .......:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Even the commercial Fusetalk I personally think is pretty dire. Anyway I recently came across this one as the guy who wrote it is hosting with us, and he is soon planning to make open source, and I think it's pretty decent product, very similar to PHPBB. It has all the basic features you need in a forum. www.rinium.com -- snake ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:226808 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
