How is this forum made?
I think this forum has got one of the most clever designs I've seen. It it's based on phpBB, but do you have any extras to it? Pluings? other things? In short I would like to know as much as pos...
Thanks for your replies.
Fancy style is ok, but usability should not be lacking (it sadly almost always does when visiting a custom made forum).
Same thing with blogs, I love the accepted design and get irritated when I have to solve the logic puzzle just to get to the content.
Though I am very used to graphic software I prefer recognition so that users feel at home directly. Just recently I have had bad experiences with very modern, advanced and beautiful forums, search problems, finding your old posts, settings etc.
I like that this forum has View unread posts | View new posts | View your posts in the upper right area (I have never seen "ego" search before, clever) and I have never seen bookmark for threads either and I miss it in other forums. Are those functions default in phpBB or do they come with add-ons?
