A few questions about the site

Did you program the whole thing yourself? If so, very well done. If not, well done anyway.

Also, would it be possible to make the forum stylesheet a separate style option, so users can change back to the original 'Oxygen' style if they want.

With the forums, I was wondering why my user id is a long obscure number.

Are you willing to make the PHP code open source? Knowing ls97, probably not, but I'll still ask just in case.

Also, just to let you know, SeptimusHeap made me add a link to this site on Mod Central.

Sorry for a disjointed post, and for putting a suggestion in this section.

Yes, we programmed the whole thing (except for the forums and viewer) ourselves.

It would be possible, but LS97 programmed the CSS on the forum integration, so I'll ask him about it.

Your forum ID is the UNIX time when you created your account...it was the easiest way to assign them, the script automatically creates database entries, as the forums use MySQL.

Yes, we know about the link.

Re: A few questions about the site

Thanks, TheSuccesor! We did indeed, as Jacob said, do the whole thing by ourselves, every single comma and bracket in the code wink
...except for, obivously, the forums and the viewer.

Are you really that bothered by the colour? I think it fits in quite well with the header and the rest of the site!

We are not willing to publish the entire PHP to some source place for security and copying rights, however it is possible to ask for some individual pages and we'll get you the source, censoring some sensitive code (such as hard-coded passwords, they're very secure).

Thanks for the link!

No, but we did allow users to change their theme on the site. smile

Re: A few questions about the site

Nice! Blue is now my theme smile

BTW, I recommend putting a 404 message in for non-existent user pages, rather than telling everyone how the site data is stored and structured wink

Thanks for the heads up. Look at: http://modshare.tk/user/this-user-does-not-exist.

How did you prevent people from quoting certain posts?

The code is designed so you can't quote HTML posts, as it will not work because non-admins can't post HTML. (see this post on your forums.)
I programmed it by going into post.php, and found the code for quoting, and if the user is trying to quote a HTML message, it will disable that.
