I've often wanted a true blog/forum hybrid. I know exactly what I want, until I try to describe it! I think I basically want a forum, but one that doesn't look so rigidly structured as a forum. Also, I want something a bit more user-oriented, than topic-oriented. I'd like a …

Hi, Sorry if this is off topic or whatnot. Seems like the right place anyway. I've been searching the net for about 4 hours now for a forum plugin without any success. Basically what I need is a forum (preferably written in c# .Net) that I can plug into a …

I was completing a forum for a customer who is in the real estate business and by his permission I'm posting his odd, yet humorous question; After his forum's demo went live he said; "Why not make it so forums can have people responding to other peoples posts...?" I thought …

Greetings Dani, We just installed your vBulletin mod_rewrite for vB 3.0.7 hack and are quite excited about it. I have looked around the forum but couldn't find a thread related to this topic. Anyhow, it seems it's no longer possible to merge threads because VB doesn't recognize the html URLs. …

Hello there, Do you use a unique avatar or downloaded one you can share with us? Do you have an avatar pack you can share with other members here so we can setup a pre-set of avatars for our own communities? How about it? That would be so nice of …

I've considered this question in some detail. Actually I've seen many "spammers" who advertise their site and then get banned after one warning. I've also seen unbearable trolls being given a long rope. Some of these trolls reach unbelievable heights of "trollsmanship" by the nonsense they spout regularly without contributing …

For the non-techies, which forum program do you think is easier? I'm working with phpBB, and it's user friendly - I just HATE the updates - always mess up with those.

I love the way the tutorials section works on this forum - the tutorials being seperate from the forum but comments appearing on the forum. Is this a standard code? I very much expect not being Dani's forum, but if it is, which one is it? If not I don't …

Hello, my name is Rome. I really need to know where to build a professional forum. I checked out Vbulletin, but is that really a forum? Or is that just a program for your computer? I do NOT care about the price. My mom needs me to create a forum …

When I first started this site, I worked really really hard to make sure that every question was answered. However, as the forums grew bigger, it got harder and harder to do. Not only because there were more questions asked, but because more behind the scenes stuff needs to be …

Just a thought. Do website theme or colour scheme have some kind of an effect on an online community? I've not seen evidence either way, but how does it, if at all, affect a community? What kind of impact do colours have on the overall mood and feel of an …

To those of you who own forums out there, what percentage of your site visitors are registered members? Do you do anything specific to increase signups?

Should the owner/main honcho of a forum use the title Admin or is better to go with a name like Dani is doing here on DW? What are the pros and cons? --Tone
