In Reply to: Who would like a redesign of the board? posted by Tran311sistor on March 11, 2004 at 15:56:45:
: i like hearing from kevin and ming and them as much as everyone else here. But i think the format of the WWWBoard is a bit dated.
: Who would like to see a new style for the WWWBoard? the tree message view with a new board started every few days works but could be done better.
: i would like to suggest a new style for the boards, something similar to phpbb. (http://phpbb.com/phpBB/ for example). seperating topics, posts etc. for easy browsing and moderation.
: i know the web guys are probably busy, i can volunteer to do this. have experience with php, html, cgi etc. so a forums won't be very difficult.
: i know the first argument against this would be that everyone would have to re-create their account on the new forums, people may loose their usernames if someone else gets it first, stuff like that. i've looked at the wwwboard code on matt's script archive and it wouldn't be that hard to convert the username/pw file that is used by WWWBoard to another type of file so another forum could use those same usernames and passwords.
: new forums would allow pm'ing between members, nicer format with topics subjects stuff like that, easy moderation for whoever ming sets as forum admins, moderators etc. and would save ming the trouble of starting a new board every day
