yea.. it is quite fast actually.. i'm still going to make it make the pages in html later on though.. cause it does take more bandwidth this way.. i believe i have 13 gigs of space and 50 gigs of bandwidth.. i'm not sure whether to save space or to save bandwidth
there is little processing time it seems.. i set my netscape so it notifies me when a cookie is being set and cookies are set every single visit to the forum.. they are set after all the processing has been done and it only takes me half a second on a 33k to get the cookie yes.. i am still on a modem..
anyways.. the forum itself is ready for release.. however.. i am not sure how to go about the 4 tables needed to be setup in this.. i am thinking about making a script that will make the defs and mysql tables.. but i don't know...
i have to make an administration for deleting, banning, and all the other cool stuff.. the current links administration would work for deleting posts.. however.. the topic # post # will be incorrect..
banning is not by ip.. by username..
also.. you guys could make whatever mods you want.. its not that hard.. like different level forums is easy.. alex already made the Administrator Editor Registered stuff.. and you can simple put a if statement inside of the while statement when print boards and then a if/else statement to see if the user is authorized to access the board..
btw guys.. i am in the middle of two other links sql powered add ons.. one is a webspace script similiar to what yahoo is doing with geocities.. just the file manager using username and passwords in the links sql userDB.. i am making this cause it's simple.. i am also going to give some of my friends some ad less webspace and they are the types that use geocities and such ..
then there is an ad management script.. i started over on this one from the previous one.. this will allow both ssi and image forms of calling the banner.. since it will be powered on links' admin.. i won't have to do much.. graphs and statistics can be made easily as well..
