First, sorry about my lack of communication over the past week - I've been very busy with school. Second, for some inexplicable reason, I am unable to connect to any IRC server, I've tried every programme I can, but it doesn't work. I'd be willing to use ICQ, but I think AIM is much easier for a group chat. I'll see if any of you are on tonight, and IM you.
The Ikonboard is excellent, In think we should use that for our forums. It's got the best bits of UBB, and quite a lot of things more. We will need to finalise a colour scheme, here are the HTML colour codes for the site design I'm working on:
Background: Black #000000
Text: White #FFFFFF
Links: Blue #0066CC
Headings and Titles: Blue #0066CC
I wouldn't know how to implement this in the forums, but to get an idea about how many forums we'll need, here's all the ones I've planed: Two developer boards; one for plug-ins, one for other stuff, a query board, were people can ask us (and fellow developers) their questions and a Banter and Brawl style board called The Freeport Bar. As well as that i would like a forum were people can post comments about the currently active articles.
As well as articles, I think we should have weekly polls. These could occupy the space were the banners are on the mock site I posted earlier. I was talking to John about them, and we decided they should be posted on a monday, closed the next saturday and the results posted on Sunday. There would also be an option of viewing the results of previous polls, plsu the option of suubmitting a poll. We would need to find a good poll script that can be customized to fit in with the colour scheme, but that shouldn't be too hard.
I'm gonna upload the pages soon, but I'm having this strange problem. I've got two frames set up, with the frameset called index.html. The two frames are targetted to main.html and main_contents.html. However, when I preview them in my browser, I get two error messages saying 'No such device or address'. I check the source code, and the tagets have changed to /main.html and /main_contents.html and if I change them back, the browser says it can't find the files the frames point to. I haven't got a clue why it isn't working, becuase it shos both frames in the index file perfectly in Dreamweaver. Anyone got an idea?
