Forums

Or you could have two links on the submenu "Manage forums" and "Create forums". You then use the same form for both which will either be in edit mode or append mode depending on how you arrived at the form. If its in append mode when you add a forum you are redirected back to the same form following submit so you can create another. If its in edit mode you get redirected back to the manage forums page. I have no idea how complicated that would be to code though.

If you go via the index page then you know which forum you clicked and in which category it was.  If you go to a topic from elsewhere and categories have forums with the same name then you don't know which one you are looking at.

That would probably do it. In fact, I think it is good practice for every website that includes user contributed content to have an obvious way of complaining to the people in charge.

Its two brackets and a pipe <|> [|] (|)

I couldn't quite see the point of cloning the static pages. Wouldn't it make more sense to put the content of the site in langauge files and then use a langauge switcher (as lie2815 seems to be suggesting). It also makes it significantly easier to maintain the site.

As a side note, I'm not that thrilled about being legally responsbile for content I don't understand.

I would have thought a more useful implementation would be delete request facility rather than delete. The admin could then do a search for all users with the delete request flagged. Though of course it would only really be useful on a busy forum with enough requests to make it a nuisance to deal with them individually.

I've sorted out all the markup but ran out of time with the css. I'm going to have to do it bit by bit during next week as I'm tied up with work. Do whatever you need to do with markup/language files and I will sort out any conflicts. Just don't bother to fix reported markup/css bugs.

I have no strong preference either way.

A template system preferably by Friday

The good news is it seems to be rendering things pretty much as it should.

With IE it is usally floats and the clearing of floats that is the culprit. The other thing is that IE thinks that 50% + 50% = 101%. Thats why if you have two floats next to each other they need to be 49% wide not 50%.
