Forums

Don't give this, I don't have time to relax.

"1.2"

It's not about having another mediocre forum, there are plenty on the market. It's about having a platform that can be expanded and enhanced for a particular purpose. I'm interested in the latest version of Flux, because I plan to do things with it on my own. Walking one digit back, would cause problems with this expansion in the future...

Then I just don't understand. We have a workable copy right here, I wonder what the hell he might be doing.... Replacing the engine can be done an infinite number of times... Maybe he's  cycled up, he needs restart... That's probably just some WORK FLOW error, not a program bug.

" couple of years"

:-) That sounds convincing. I suggest I use IPB.

The problem is finding out what the problem is. If it's in the errors with variables which control css, maybe it's much simpler to do it ourselves. I have absolutely no knowledge of programming, and still I was I able to figure out how css files work a couple of days ago and design my own style. I think someone else can figure out the php errors. All we need is a full and exact list of testing errors found so far.

Let's order some go-go girls for Paul.

For one of my sites, it's:
    Javascript   
    96    Enabled   
    4    Disabled

Other developers just need the FINAL release to keep on working....

For "Powered by FluxBB 1.3 Beta" (downloaded from this site):

From what I see in Firefox 1.5 (I sometimes deliberately use older browsers when testing to make errors and weak points more evident, because I reckon what works for IE wouldn't work in non-standard conditions)
(1) misplaced blank forms and titles in the (a) registration panel (b) admin panel (categories, forums) (c) Post new topic by Guest
[In Opera 8.54 the forum name in the Edit Forum Description Panel becomes completely invisible and grayed-out with ugly color probably because of misplacement]
(2) weird, transparent menues in the admin panel (Forums, Setup, Features, Announcements, etc)

At least, that many...

I don't know whther that's because of css problems or other reasons

Okay, this is useless talk... Deciding what's really necessary is the key. It depends on designer's  intelligence. If he or she can properly design usuablility which would be adequate for a set of given tasks (which may be the same for a whole class of forums). Certain things are necessary, like a user-friendly quoting system...

It's not vital but it makes the forum less competitive. I think SMF has it, and it's very nice. Only 1% of users don't have JS on these days, otherwise or under other circumstances I don't like JS myself for the very reasons you've mentioned.

I don't think it does it.  It simply gives quote /quote. Or I missed something.

Highlight with a cursor > Press > there it is (a quoted piece of text in the reply window) -- there should be no other actions.

I think it's called Quick Quote

Basically, a user doesn't need any other quoting buttons than the one I described. And it should work instaneously (no page reloading; in quick reply). Otherwise, it's just easier to put typographic " " or avoid quoting at all and forget about it --- that's what I would usually do...

The same goes for bold, italic, etc. Although, they are not that vital.
