Re[2]: [PHP] No forums?
Hi Richard, Wednesday, November 9, 2005, 12:40:12 AM, you wrote: There are no decent PHP forum software packages that aren't riddled with security problems and really nasty PHP code. I sincerely wish the preceding statement were false, as my clients ask me for forums and I just say No. I agree 99% with you, the majority are (excuse my French) utter shite. *but* the code quality, features and stability of the excellent FUD Forum thankfully doesn't fall into the camp you describe. While I don't use it myself, you only need to take a quick look at the code and who's involved with it to recognise its quality.

Hi Murray, Wednesday, November 9, 2005, 1:34:12 AM, you wrote: Hmmm, thank you for mentioning this forum, I wasn't previously aware of it. I know phpBB has been criticized previously for behind-the-scenes code quality, though it seems like a fairly mature online forum package while using it. Any thoughts on a comparison between the 2? IMHO there is no comparison. I think the only reason someone would prefer phpbb is if they were crap at design, and wanted to use one of the many phpbb templates that exist out there. All logical, security and features reasons point to FUD. But it has to be said, it just doesn't look as nice, and sadly that is a good enough factor to deter lots of people :-\ Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer PHP Development Services http://www.corephp.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi, Saturday, November 5, 2005, 11:30:29 PM, you wrote: Start now and we'll check in on your progress in a years time :) You're joking, but I might actually do it. I was thinking about such forum before. It could be useful for many purposes. It would be *extremely* useful, but I imagine quite a nightmare to code properly, or someone would have done so already. Even so - somebody has to be first, no reason why it can't be you. I think a years estimate was a conservative one given the scale of the project, but possible.
