That's ridiculous
Which part of it is ridiculous?

I've downloaded the SMF 1.1.8 forum software. I will base it off of weather, twc (Kinda a mix), and more things that people will find interesting :yes:
I would actually go with 2.0rc1 (like these forums) as it's almost near a full release now and imo, easier to upgrade.
2.0rc1... I don't have sufficient permissions to download it yet (At least, I think that).

EDIT: Doh! IT was undet 1.1.8 :doh:

Ok everyone,

I am making preparations to build the site's draft. This is going to be in a .png format.

And about the name, I haven't completely come up with it yet. You're name suggestions would be greatly appreciated :smoke2:

Remember, this site is all about you guys. You guys can decide on what features it will have included in it. It is supposed meet the users needs, though, for anything to be included in the website, it needs to be verified with me first. Keep comming up with suggestions :biggrin:

EDIT: On the name, I just got an idea. Why not just wall the website Weatherstar :whistling:

And therein lies my first piece of advice. If you intend to start a site, you either have to do the work yourself (as I originally did), or have someone lined up to do it for you. Its pretty difficult to locate someone on a moments notice.  :thumbsup:

Quite frankly, I have to agree with whomever told you you aren't old enough to get into this. You've asked for help every step of the way so far. If you can't do anything for yourself, then its gonna be awful hard to run a site and forum. Your members aren't going to want to be your in house tech support department.  :no:

Personally, I've always been a PhpBB fanboy...

I will agree with Gary only on the part that you've been asking how to do EVERYTHING so far.

You have to do your own research and learn things on your own.

I can say that your point is valid (Gary), and at the same time I'm thinking. Baaicly, I have been asking, but it was lazyness on my part in my opinion. I need to work on a good website layout, graphics, and all of that stuff. This won't even be donemin one month, as far as I know.

Yesterday, I was rushing. I've decided to budget my time, and work on one part at one time.

Are you going to have a domain name? I can say with great certainty that most forums without one will not likely succeed. Nobody wants to go to weatherstar.thisisareallylongstupidname.com  Just a thought...  :thumbsup:

Ok, So I started working on it tonight, I worked on very little graphics (Buttons and logo). As you can see, really good and nice pictures that someone donates can be put on the home page (With the pictures owners permission). Obviously, they need to be resized, and those pictures were examples. I am also thinking about a new background (Lighter toned, tiled, mosaic looking).

And as well to this picture, there will be way more text when the whole site it finished(I estimate about 1 month till its completed).

Any comments on this picture :whistling:

It's not bad so far... the background color of "HOME" doesn't match the rest though :thumbsup:
