My favorite editor for PHP/HTML/CSS/Java/C++/whatever is HTML-Kit.  I love the fact that it has a built in ftp sidebar to directly edit files on the server.  There are tons of extensions you can install, as well as a good HTML reference and Style reference built in!  I haven't used the references in years, but I remember when it was QUITE handy.  They also have a kludgy WYSIWYG that can help you build pages if you dont know HTML too well.  Everyone who uses Notepad2 or Notepad++ should check it out.  We all have our preferences, but I definately think its worth a look!

Plesk is quite interesting, but I do rather enjoy the CPannel WHM (i signed up at hostinglite for a month to test it out).  Seems pretty nice.  Not bad for the price.  And if I felt like it i could sell 100mb with 1-2GB bandwidth for like 2 bucks a month and easily make up for the cost on the side. I need to find out if they do custom plans....

I have heard some mild complaints about Plesk, and have some complaints on CPannel from previous hosts.  What is your preferance (i didnt quite understand)

Wow, that looks like a great re-seller package.  I have been oogling over http://www.entityhosting.com/ for quite a while now.  But this one seems quite nice.  Can anyone give me any posative feedback for hostinglite.com or any issues that you have had?  I am pretty rough on my servers....

Hello BG.  I noticed that you still have the default style on your forums.  Maybe you did some style tweeks on a stylesheet that isnt the default (Oxygen) and it isnt coming though to visitors.

I think another thing that would be good (something I needed to change on my forums) is making sure that extern.php is not showing any forums that have group memberships.  This of course is only if you aren't showing topics from a private group.  Try this out:

----# FIND (212) #-----
        $result = $db->query('SELECT t.id, t.poster, t.subject, t.posted, t.last_post, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON t.forum_id=f.id WHERE t.moved_to IS NULL AND '.$forum_sql.'f.admmod_only=0 ORDER BY '.$order_by.' DESC LIMIT 15') or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

----# REPLACE WITH #----

        $result = $db->query('SELECT t.id, t.poster, t.subject, t.posted, t.last_post, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON t.forum_id=f.id WHERE t.moved_to IS NULL AND '.$forum_sql.'f.admmod_only=0 AND f.group=0 ORDER BY '.$order_by.' DESC LIMIT 15') or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());


----# FIND (239) #----

        $result = $db->query('SELECT t.id, t.subject FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON t.forum_id=f.id WHERE t.moved_to IS NULL AND '.$forum_sql.'f.admmod_only=0 ORDER BY '.$order_by.' DESC LIMIT '.$show) or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

----# REPLACE WITH #----
        $result = $db->query('SELECT t.id, t.subject FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON t.forum_id=f.id WHERE t.moved_to IS NULL AND '.$forum_sql.'f.admmod_only=0 AND f.group=0 ORDER BY '.$order_by.' DESC LIMIT '.$show) or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Hope this helps those that are trying to use extern.php and keep user-group forums hidden.

Gotta love www.oswd.org There are some great designers there that make it really easy to slap together a few of the designs and styles.  While doing this design I did encounter some issues with table widths messing up a table-less shell.  Had to do a little CSS trick to convince IE to display correctly, and standards compliant browsers to still do what they should.  Quite a trial at first, but it works nicely now.

I just thought I would let everyone know that I re-designed the site with forum navigation on the left, etc.  Check it out.  Would love to hear what you think.

I used to try to get business for web development with my site.  Decided to make it more community oriented.  Wanted to share my forums since it shows how versitile the forums are in fitting into another design: http://www.wildleaf.net/forum/ .  Hope you enjoy.
