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.

vBulletin's current version has many AJAXy features which enable interactions similar to what you describe.

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.
