I've spent a little more time on here recently with this new forum layout. I see it as an extremely professional piece of work and I wish to compliment whoever is responsible for putting it together on a well-thought out and implemented design. Take a bow! I'd also be interested which tools you used (if any). I am presently writing my own forum from scratch. I don't like working with ready made solutions, I learn nothing that way. I spend quite a bit of time sitting here, figuring out how to mimic some of the functionality of THIS forum as I believe it's THAT good. Naturally, I'm not writing some sort of rip-off, but it reminds me of everything that I should incorporate and has some interesting approaches to the user interface. I have more limitations due to the server space available, but do I find it entertaining (the geek in me can't help it). There are MANY forums out there, I would like for this topic to be used for suggestion and discussion of quality forum designs out there as well as available tools. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has gone about coding their own and this topic could be a platform for exchanging information and ideas on the subject. Does anyone else have other examples of forums worth looking at?
