This is just a little project I had in my mind recently....... what it is a forum. All of the forum is made in php and mysql exept the footer and html/graphical components. I had help from a friend, so most of it was just a walk through, I have been working on it for a few hours...fixing stupid bugs, adding stuff....and this is my result:
http://programmersunited.com/new_forum/forum.php
DONT USE THAT LINK. USE:
http://network.programmersunited.com
This will be a continuosly remade and updated, and I will add new forums and categories. This is meant for fun. No posting or anything. Right now I add everything through phpmyadmin...email me at programmerguy150@yahoo.com if you want to be added to the pre members.

did you take a step backwards in design?
it was looking like a fairly accurate recreation of this forum; now it seems too blah.

I am leading into advanced css. Like when you add black to a painting it looks horrible, untill you add detail.

Normally an artist wouldn't put his painting up in a gallery until it is complete.

I said It was a continous project. I am adding stuff. Basically I just want to see how good my php skills are. It will look better by the end, we want to use tables and css before we set up complex graphical componets. Who knows, maybe this will be as good as apollo in the far distant edge of time future.
edit: I didnt want to make it look like apollo. I want an original design.

Uhh Raven... I think you might just want to re-read that string of posts, apart from it being a blatant joke, they're talking about Mx5 claiming the DarkBASIC product as his own.

I would never! The game creators are the best. Well If anyone can recommend on what I should start doing today, that would help.
Things:
a) Finish Registration coding
b) Do login code
c) add post functions

This forum already takes up 5.7 mb on the database!

Well, 17 forums are hidden(I dont really want to show forums with the title "Bla Blah",lol), I have 12 users switched from the old databases, 9 categories, a data base for the user cp, a database for the emoticons, and more...ooops, database means table, typed wrong.

Ok, I will do them in order.........notice in my first post you can email me to sign up. So if I do login, those signed up can login.

very easy

+ until the forum is finished cut it down to about 4 boards and 2 catagories, there is no need for the rest until it is usable

its good that your learning how to create a forum, unfortunately tho dont expect a huge slew of users to jump ship.
Can't hurt to learn how things work tho.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

Well it appears I kept making an increment number in php code. so 1x800 800x800, so on.... and it was: users, users1,ect...
so each user exsisted in a huge number of files, I had to redo the entire database.
edit: the data base is limited to 6.0 mb......

also, it is a php page, so any external language (like java, what you tried) would not work because it is being inside php, not html....I think
