[Flashcoders] Flash Developer Forums
Hello, I realize that this list is for discussing code, so I'll make this brief. My San Francisco based company is looking to hire an in-house Flash developer and I would appreciate any pointers to lists or url's that might help me find high quality people. Anyone on this list who wants to inquire further should email me directly rather than responding to this list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash for forums
The highly important and common feature for Forums is the ability to paste HTML, perform clean and efficient searches, insert images from other sites/URLs, embed flash animations, right-click to open links posted links in new tabs/windows, paste code, harcore forum users even cherish their custom footers. Most of these functions wouldn't be as effective in a flash front-end. On 6/25/06, Count Schemula [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm on a few vBulletin powered forums and they work very well.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash for forums
I'll have to take your word for it, I never use the things. I've decided to go with an existing forum, p2pbb or vbulletin, customized with a flash header.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash for forums
I vote vBulletin. It's under active development and gets better all the time. It's already very very smooth and quite powerful. Worth the $100 or whatever they ask for it. phpbb is a great open source effort, but just isn't as nice or powerful overall overall.

[Flashcoders] Flash for forums
I've never liked forums, mostly because the I find navigating around in most forums is pretty clunky, give me an email list every time, but, as so often happens, the universe has decided to get a little revenge. I have a client who wants a forum. I've just spent the morning researching forum software and there are many good products out there, but none that give the navigational convenience I would like. I can see a forum with a flash front end that would be a dream to use, let' s say, a tree of threads with subjects; hover over one and see a preview; click and see a list of responses; click on a response and get a preview, all in one window without a page change. Posts are written in a new window and don't require 3 or 4 pages generations per response. That's a little simplistic, but I hope you get the idea. What ever I use it has to be customized to the look and feel of the site. Has anyone seen such a forum? Or, a forum with documentation that would allow the relatively easy implementation of a flash front end.
