So I'm trying to build a simple forum. It'll be a list of topics in descending order by the date of either the topic (if no replies) or latest reply. Here's the DB structure: forum_topic id, name, email, body, date forum_reply id, email, body, date, topic_id The forum itself will consist of an HTML table with the following h...
Hey folks, In my "Professional Communication for Software Engineers" class we're going to be tasked with getting involved in either a face-to-face or online forum where you can give a short, technical, and informational presentation on an engineering topic and then get some feedback by an audience as to their take on how you're presenta...

Has anyone encountered such a beastie? I'm thinking about a tree-like display, database, login and registration etc. Ideally ready to bake as time is short. Ideally BSD or similar license but if neccessary might persuade the beancounters to cough up some beans. Alternatively if anyone is interested in creating something please comment ...
Hi, I have taken on the task of bettering the communication between our company employees by offering them a blog-like site and a forum. I thought that people could post articles on the blog-frontpage and ask technical and product related questions in the forum section. We have a MS Sharepoint site, but I don't feel it has the same pub...
I have a forum on a website I master, which gets a daily dose of pron spam. Currently I delete the spam and block the IP. But this does not work very well. The list of blocked IP's is growing quickly, but so is the number of spam posts in the forum. The forum is entirely my own code. It is built in PHP and MySQL. What are some concrete...

Using PHP and MySQL, I have a forum system I'm trying to build. What I want to know is, how can I set it so that when a user reads a forum entry, it shows as read JUST for that user, no matter what forum they are in, until someone else posts on it. Currently, for each thread, I have a table with a PostID, and has the UserID that posted ...
In my forum that I am building, I want to get information about users that make the posts in a thread. For example, a signature, their forum rank, number of posts, etc, from a table, ForumSettings. I have the list of threads in a table with an ID, and I have the posts in a separate table with a threadID column that links to the ThreadLis...
I'm setting up a niche community web site, I expect it to have a few hundred users to start, probably the maximum would be 1000-2000. Most of my experience has been with the ASP.Net/SQL Server world.

Pretty much like the title says.. I'm wondering where the place is to suggest language enhancements. A place where the VB and C# language teams hang out? A central repository of ideas for the future of these languages? Something like that. ...

I'm talking about a forum/message board where people just talk about the Ruby language - quite aside from its use in terms of Ruby-on-Rails. It seems most languages have favorite forums outside of Stackoverflow - just wondering what that would be for Ruby. I've had a look on Google but what comes up seems to be mostly personal blogs ab...
I have a Mailman managed list with years of history that I want to migrate into a web-based forum. Things it would be nice to do: Keep the mailing list going for those who are used to and prefer it to a web interface, but have it integrate with the web-forum activity. Take the web-based forum posts, and send them out to the mailing li...
I've wondered about this for some time now. I'm wondering webforums implement the option to highlight something you haven't read. How the forum knows. Since most webforums have a function to show you all posts since your last visit, they must save the last time you visited one of their pages in your userdata in the database. But that d...
I'm interested in corresponding with some schoolmates with an online forum that offers more than Google groups, namely intelligent code colors/formatting. MSDN forums and this site color code the c# code that I paste and I'd like to find another free forum site for a group to collaborate that supports this. The few I've found only format...
