Why did you (or rather Ice-9) choose infopop over other forums like phpBB?

Because it was, and still is, one of the only forums (if not the only) that offered both flat and threaded display modes.

You don't need HTML for a message board. Most of the commonly used markup for formatting is available via UBBCode.

and please don't reply with a one word message like "oh".

 

Re: Versus City Upgraded to UBB.threads 6.4

wtf do you need javascript for in a forum?

I didn't think I need state this as well, but, disabling html is also partly a security measure, precisely because of things like javascript and how dangerous and annoying they can be.

I wanted to get the script for the cool SPoD emblem on VF4fx.

Why? So you can annoy people even more by having a 40kb wav file users must download whenever they read a post by you? Tell you what, go and create your own site with the webspace your ISP provides you, and you can put all the javascript and html and whatever else you can think of there, and put a link to it in your sig. That way, anyone who wishes to see what you think is cool (or is just feeling masochistic) can go and visit your site which is probably polluted with other people's work anyway.

By the way, why won't infopop support dynamic pages?

[/ QUOTE ]

What the hell are you talking about now? Do you even know what a dynamic page is? These forums you post in have a database backend you know, or did you think each and every page was a static html file?

wtf is this anyway? 20 questions? I'm moving this sub-thread to the Questions & Feedback forum because it has nothing to do with the last upgrade.
