Your impressions and wishes

Looking over the code reminds me of vbulletins sloppy arse code.. This looks like the devs read over all vbs code then made this.. Prob no copy and pasting but var names and ugly syntaxing is the same.

Hi,

i just wanna say :
i was searching for PHP code for a forum for a site i am working on, they were either too complex (my users aren't that computer literate, i.e. not geeks) or not professional-looking/feeling enough.

MiniBB was just the right balance, even my mum can use it!!!

I didn't experience any refreshing problems in Opera

That's a common problem when using proxies or a bad server setting, wrong Timezone can be the fault, too.

1.Using HTML is very risky.
2.Not everybody knows HTML (let's say - very small amount of users)
3.JavaScript is not used in miniBB as important thing, this is just a decoration, so it doesn't matter, is it turned on or not.
4.HTML code is optimized - we have written it BY HAND, without WYSIWYG. So, there is no necessarity in compression.

P.S.Refreshing in Opera was not miniBB's bug, probably it depends on your Internet connection.

AND: It doesn't really matter how big the whole script is... IMO it's important that the produced HTML-code is optimized (NO font-Tags, etc..)

Thanks a lot!

THIS is a very useful forum!
But: I don't like UBB-Code (why learn another formatting language??? HTML should be ok.)
and
I don't like JavaScript (actually I turned JavaScript off (Popups))

AND: HTTP-Compression would be nice too!

very good forum.. but i person think it will be better if there is a option for admin to 'pin' a topic..

very nice job and thanks for this forum!

only thing i miss is the preview button :-D

this forum software rocks... so simple and awesome...

the new topic button is hard to find though.

what peka said, although i can't confirm the part about using a taiwanese charset :)

I tried a lot of forums, but this was the most easier to implement in an existing website ...
I hope that I will use in many sites, even if is not so complex like other forums.

miniBB is not:
made by MS
lame
overused
too big (in kBytes)
a hype

miniBB is: (Except the opposites from above of course)

free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fast enough
reliable
easy to install
easy to develop stuff on (modular and clear code)
easy to fit into your site without designing your site to do so (URL)
skinnable
can be viewed in thaiwan charset cause it looks funny : )

Folk, this forum rulez! I love it! Simply it's the best

I downloaded this board a couple of days ago, and I must say, I'm impressed. Why? Because it's simple. Most messageboards these days are bloated with way too many features, in order to become the "best board" out there.

They've forgotten the purpose of a messageboard. Sign up, post messages, done!

Anyway, a job well done, in my opinion. And very easy to alter the look. :)

Excellent job on this board. You've gotten rid of all the bloat that most boards have. I'm very impressed. Will be trying it out immediately.
