This is my suggestion thread were i make stupid suggestions . I am just using this thread because i make so many of them i would clutter the board.

Suggestion Number 1:
Here is my dumb idea for the database it is just a stupid complicated thing i thought up earlier when i saw the thread asking for descriptions of codes.

Why don't you make a posting form to submit the codes. The cool thing about this form would be that it also submitted the code to a pending database on your website. The posting form could ask for things like a description so you don't need to write one for every code. Then you would go to your website and see if you want the code or not. If you want the code you click accept and it automatically puts the code into the database. I think you would still have to move the thread manually to the database board but that would be easy.

That is the main idea. You can also use all the things you have with it this is just a main concept.

Some other things you could do are.

You could make a section in the database were people can see pending codes. In that section you can make the codes that you reject say [Rejected] and then go away after a week.

You could make it so that when the person edited the code it made an Update: mm/dd/yy at the bottom.

I think this is possible because you would be submitting data to your website not the proboards server.

What do you think of this idea.

it is the best one (the skin is)

well...that would explain things. It is just so hard for us Noobs to learn JS. I can do some javascript but i never see how it applies to proboards...I think Good tuts would be a great asset to you guys

hehe now it don't work at all

Why don't you guys do tutorials? I don't ever see any good ones...I bet since you have the best coders you can put together a pretty good tutorial. My suggestion for a tutorial is "How to build a PM bar" (mainly because i need to know but that is beside the point )

i didn't know what to call it. I think it had something to do with the code not loading properly...or maybe it was the cache...

On the skin "Version Two.One: Ex²". The Menu bar randomly picks one or two of the buttons that don't highlight on mouseover. I refreshed multiple times. The first time the Events button was not highlighting. Then it was both the support button and the search button. On this page as i am writing this they are all working...just thought i would let you know.

wow...all the posts really are gone

i can think of a bunch of ideas for codes but don't know how to actualy write them. I will still try to do my forum but i don't think i can ask for help here.

i have been working looking at scripts for about 2-4 months but i can't quite get myself to understand how most of it works. I will look at what people tell me to do and never be able to apply it to proboards. I can work with codes and i can write a little. Do i really need to be able to write an advanced code to get a forum running? I can work hard and i am learning but i do need a little help from other people who can do it better than me. I don't see why i shouldn't be able to run a forum if i can get a good coder and graphics designer to help me.

i can do this. My problem will not be that i am not willing to work on it my problem will be that i am not smart enough to do all the coding myself. I think that if i got a good coder to work with me than i could make this a BIG board

For my website...

joemaggio.proboards.com

I would like to have 1-2 coders come help me here if you are interested join the board and apply

if the banner at the top uses a code with a source can you give me the source url? then i think i can fix it
