Yah, to test all my knowledge thus far, Im just doing a tiny forum thing. (It seems to be the "cool" thing :  . So any suggestions that you would think would be a challenge to me or anything you see fit, please tell me. I want to learn as much as I can out of this, and maybe have a functional forum  (I hope) Oh yah, this is in PHP... |

Everyone is following the trend I started As for suggestions, if you haven't already, play around with using a MySql DB. Could also be a good idea to build some kind of spam bot prevention into the core coding. On the basic forum system I've released I've had a lot of spam bot problems which I'm finding hard to patch over. It would have been a lot easier for me if I had built the prevention into the post query in the first place. Maybe look at Captcha or adding a small puzzle of sorts, the kind of visual thing which a spam bot would struggle with. |

Would the bot be able to read a string of random numbers instead of a CAPTHCA? |
