[V6.03 HACK] KISS Forums (Keep it Stupidly Simple)

[Binarywebs]

The goal in the creation of the KISS forums: Easy to use, Easy to Navigate, Clean, with Light Database Utilization.
That goal was achieved with the KISS Forums. (Keep it Stupidly Simple).

Auction forums should act as a means of discussion, and not act as a public Billboard.
They should be clean and neat in appearance, easy to nagivate, and easy to use.
With these things in mind, the need was filled and is as follows.

Features:


SEO Friendly


Links - ALL utilize Mod Rewrite (Search engine candy)
Meta Tags - Forum Name, Description, Keywords (ALL Admin configurable)
Mouse Over Links - Proper use of 'title' for SEO keyword relevancy
Tagged Links - Auto insertation of 'content' from Topics into links (For content relevancy)



Admin Friendly


Unlimited Number of Forums (Create them to your hearts content)
Unique Configurable Flagging System (ala craigslist) allowing for Community based Policing
Admin configurable table, allowing for insertation of Forum wide Banners (or other content)
Admin configurable Pagination (Scale it as you grow)
Automatic 'bad word' filtering (Filters from your Stock ProBid Word Filter)
Seamlessly integrates (Fully) with ProBid for that 'Stock Feature Appearance' (Which it should be)



User Friendly


Easy to use
Easy to navigate
Easy to post/reply
Easy to Flag abusive content (ala craigslist)
Easy on the eyes - No clutter, Clean, Precise, and Exacting



What you will NOT Find:


No Java (It's useless, pointless, hackable, and trashy)
No HTML Editor (The goal is clutter free - HTML hampers the goal)
No Junk Code (It's clean, easy to modificate (if so desired), and wont kill your database)

Hi Ray,

is it possible to change the sorting. The latest postings at the top and the older to the bottom.

Thats the way it was designed to operate. Is there an area where the date sorting is not working?

When I post a reply, then the posting is on the bottom of the forum. But I would appear it at the top of the forum

Are you referring to the list of forums? Those are set to be displayed by order of forum id/order configured in admin ... If its an actual forum, with posts, the latest post should show at the top of the list.
