Topic: Programming Designs Forum Reboot

I just upgraded my forums from the old 1.2 code base to 1.3. With some minor tweaking I got a nice style that I think works well with my site.

See it here: http://forums.programming-designs.com

Old 1.2 forums: http://forums.archive.programming-designs.com

You can compare the old forums with the new forums and see the difference. So far I'm liking 1.3 but would like to see more extensions/mods made for it!

Let me know what you guys think.

Re: Programming Designs Forum Reboot

Oh another thing I did was this: http://www.programming-designs.com

As you can see, I integrated a small forum feed into the website with topic/description. Took me awhile to get it to work, had to use an AJAX call because something in the PunBB codebase did not like WP when using a php include.

Re: Programming Designs Forum Reboot

You have a very nice website and forum there. You could try intergrating the blue header into the forum aswell?

I have bookmarked this, as I could use this site.

Sorry. Unactive due to personal life.

Thanks big_smile. Yeah I'm not sure how I'd want to incorporate elements of the site into the forums quite yet. I've been busy writing articles and tidying up the main site at the moment. I'll give it some thought though smile

Re: Programming Designs Forum Reboot

I updated the forum theme once again: http://forums.programming-designs.com

I think it better matches the rest of the site and also feels more clean than the previous one. Thoughts?

I want the design of my site to stay unique so unless I decide to make a new one I won't be publicly releasing it. I might try and make something just for anyone to use sometime though.
