Before you all say it, I will say that coming sometime this summer, will be SMF integration into the main site. Meaning, that on twctodayforums.com, you can see your name, posts, latest 5 threads, latest 5 posts, etc... I'm going to read up on it, and during my days off, I'll play with it. Also, I will be going through and fixing the many many bugs I have come across switching to the new site design (sorry Gary, don't mean to offend)... Shouldn't be difficult to fix. So look for these to come soon  :biggrin:

This is what I can add to the site: https://twctodayforums.com/forums/ssi_examples.php

I'm going to learn PHP this summer (yay three big books!)...if things go well, I'd be willing to rebuild a STAR database that might be stored on this server (if the server is capable and I know what the hell I'm doing).

I like SMF integration to the main site.

I'm confused. :wacko: Why would something like this be on the main site? :unsure:

Not to be rude to Gary or anything, but some of the links/pages on the main site still do not work; if possible, I would like to see those up and running again. :biggrin:

That's what I'm referring to... Me and Martin are going to work on getting the rest of the pages up and fix the bugs. As to the SMF integration, I was thinking a page where you can see latest threads at a quick glance at school for instance. That's pretty much why I thought of doing it.

Even stricter rules on signatures... I HATE sigs with huge images (or lots of text) in them (LDLs, etc). At least shrink them down.

The forum banner on the top should be linked to main site. It's like that in most sites, and I find it convenient that way...rather than having to manually search for the main site.

That is something I really will crack down on. I will make a post about that soon

I also like the idea of limiting signatures.

That would be AWESOME! :thrilled: But, is it even possible to have a permanent live stream of something? :dunno:
