How was this forum created? Was it developed from scratch or...

[swamyg1]

I really like the way it's set up and how easy it is to use. Any idea where I might be able to find out what the foundation is or who I might be able to help me answer this question?

I'm in the midst of a project that entails a community of this nature and could really use the help. Thanks in advance people!

I would say that this forum uses a licensed copy of FuseTalk Enterprise Edition.

You realize you have SQL injection bugs in that, right? You're just begging to get hacked. If you do choose to write your own, be very careful about input validation.

edit: OK, I suck...I found 3 SQL injection vulns in my own forum when reading over the code. My excuse is that I wrote it back in 2002 .

I really like these forums because they don't allow direct image posting, and you can only chose a pre-selected non-offensive avatar. Great for browsing safely at work.

almost all forums have that option able to be turned off/on by the admins.
+I think you can say you like these forums because they aren't run by total idiots.

Agreed. :thumbsup:

FuseTalk is dead software, in my opinion. You're basically paying for the support.

While the idea is present and good, it's just not put into action properly. I would much rather go with SMF, a free solution to the same problem.

They could at least upgrade to the latest version or something. It would fix the search for one thing.
