Just a question what database connection type are you using and are you going to include, OOP, Template Engine etc?

What does "p" means in pbulletin? Also do you think you alone can successfully develop a forum software?

I only see header and one line linking back to FP... Looking forward for more, really. 🙂

Looks fine so far, but all I see is a logo and page background?

I'd be interested to hear a little about your programming knowledge and experience.

Work on the core functions of the forum and then on the design.

@Brad

Sorry, for a forum software that design is REALLY unprofessional. It is not suited to a forum software at all. 🙁

 

[Brad]

Hmm I see, may I ask who is the "developer"? Also, I suggest using PDO, more secure, don't want to go through why, but meh.

Have to agree with @ShadyX, design is really really unprofessional, take notes from other forum softwares.

EDIT:
Looking at your code, you don't even use hex code, you use plain old: grey, I suggest taking a look at hex colors.

The design on that, is much different to the design you had linked to in your first post. Why did you change it?

 

[LadyLannie]

I think all of you misunderstood what i said the booter design is not what im using for the software.It was just something i created. 🙂

Okay, I think you should read over Shady's and my posts above.
