you know its strange when you think about writing code for a blog (its in the new book by Lonnie ) then you write code to allow cooments on that blog. Its not that much of a quatum leap to go from a blog that allows commments to a forum system since in essence a forum is just a thread posted by someone and replies are allowed.

So i'm not sure why instead of using a 3rd party system , instead using CI4 itself a forum sytem is written and hosted.

I previously got as far as writing code for a blog that allowed comments and to be honest my ability is modest to say the least ; i didn't go the route of using facebook etc to log in ; instead users could register with any use name they wanted , and it was the content of what they said that was the main focus and that mattered to me. I put a simple filter on the text submitted to take out swear words etc, since there was no way I myself could act as moderator 24 hrs a day or pay for anyone else.

If anyone is objective with the current forum setup and the fact crashes could be described as "quite frequent" , is it really fit for purpose ?

Of course its easy to say than do my setting up a dedicatde s ystem .

I do appologise for typo i've recently switched my OS from Slackware (that had everything installed including the kitchen sink) to Vanilla Arch. Spelling errors are not coming up like they used to.


I will get around but having a break for a few days , after managing to set up apache on Arch and get virtual hosts working with php 8. I had sccs and previously used gulp to convert scss to css; could get that working on Arch so spent several hours switching to Grunt to do the job; thats now working as well!
