Invitation to DHTML+PHP+MySQL message board!

Hi guys,

I would like to invite all of you to the beta version of my DHTML+PHP+MySQL message board at http://www1.dominoltd.com/msg/darkside/

Use following login/password:

Feel free to post your opinion and comments on how it looks & works!

Thanks,
Temuri

I was going to reply on the board but....er.... what machines are you testing on?

In Linux, it crashes in Netscape 4.7 when you attempt to reply or post a message.

With Mozilla Milestone 18, it doesn't display the messages. The board appears to load, but that's about it. None of the functionality is there.

Otherwise, It's a neat concept and one that I hope works out for ya. You're right, there's nothing like it.

Can ask you a couple of question?

1) How easy will it be to personalize or customize to a particular web sites appearance or theme? Will there be a config file?

2) Will it be themeable? This is something that I'm working on at present. Building a framework for making a site themeable.

3) Is it open source? Will the code be, or it it freely available?

4) Regardless of the answer to the above question, Do you need any coding help?

Good work and respond to me here.

See ya,
Terrence

Thanks for the invitation, but you have a lot of development to do before this becomes usable (hence the beta).

A few bad things:

a 14kbyte javascript(!).
the bodies of all expanded subjects are downloaded, regardless of wether you want to read them or not. Expanding the first thread forced me to download a 28kb page.What's 28kByte I hear you say? Well the messages now only contain messages like "hi how are you". Imagine the size of the page if people start typing 1k+ messages.
it does not remember which threads I collapsed. re-expanding a thread automatically expands everything inside it.
