Here I was temporarily calling my forum software I'm making benBB, and I started to think that would be a good final name for it. Well, as it turns out, that name is already taken. Shoot. Now I need another, better name. You can see screenshots of what mine is like here.

Unless you have a better default color scheme, the name will be of concern only to academicians recording all failed BB systems. —Alorael, who believes a warning label might be in order. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

That forum software would look a little simplistic even if it weren't for the awful color scheme. Seriously, what is the advantage in reinventing the wheel? If there is something Invision or UBB can't do, I'd recommend getting it and fiddling around with the source. It's far easier to write a hack for an existing forum software than to start from scratch - even considered against the price of the software. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

What is a tri-tone? Wikipedia doesn't mention it... my only interpretation is three musical notes played at once.

Sorry, it's "tritone" - it's been a while since my music theory classes. A tritone is the interval that's half a step between a perfect fourth and a perfect fifth. A tritone chord is a minor third stacked on top of another minor third, often referred to as "the Devil's chord." Play a C-Eflat-Gflat chord, and you'll know what I think Ben's BB looks like, musically-speaking. ;) [ Wednesday, September 14, 2005 05:51: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

I know it is simplistic because I still have quite a bit of work to do on it before it's fully functional. I kind of like the colors, though. It's quite out of the ordinary, but what did you expect from a forum software by me? :P Incidenatally, I asked my family about the colors, and they thought that it looked quite good, my mom saying "very colorful and inviting". However, that doesn't seem to be the opinion here, and that's why if I ever get that far, I plan to make the color scheme customizable to each user. But that won't be for a while. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Yellow makes my eyes hurt, unless it's not offensively bright. I think I'd have an headache after just 5 minutes Ben. Couldn't you kinda tone it down a little, maybe use a pastel shade of yellow? -------------------- "I am a living sign..." Thus endeth this post.

Yellow is my favorite color too, but I wouldn't want to plaster a page background with it. "Background" implies something unobstrusive, and bright yellow isn't. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Generally, a background should have a dull colour. You know, like white, grey, dark blue, etc. Maybe the forum categories could have yellow text or yellow background, if you really want it. -------------------- Polaris - Weather balloons, ninjas, and your big daddy Wise Man.

It doesn't seem to have any problems, but it's still missing a lot. It would help if we could see pictures of the page where you make posts and register new accounts, as that's where most boards have problems. Also, your link isn't working anymore. -------------------- Important Information about Stuff Posts: 258 | Registered: Wednesday, March 9 2005 08:00 |

I've added a few more links. On my admin page, I have one section where you can add/delete/edit forums and categorys, and then another section which gives other functions, such as editing members and board settings. This part is still very much under construction, though, as is the whole board. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |
