Ross,

Is it still CGI like proboards.

Or is it php or something else?

The url does not show.

Thank you.

It's PHP

I can work with PHP!!

Well done,

So can I

But the images and basic structure of this forum still resembles proboards. I know Ross is a mod there. Did he purchase a license from patrick?

Not at all.

They are all (PB, CF & SL) based on a version of a free forum software called YABB ... Ross simply used that.

They all have the same ROOT, but are in no way connected!

when the skin comp is over, we'll look different!

cool Wrighty.

Is switching to a more generic gTLD like.com,.net,.org part of the plan?

I doubt it.

This is a UK based company. Ross is from the UK, so chances are .co.uk will remain.

Is there any advantage of a .com or other over a .co.uk?

There's no technical advantage.

Just some marketing advantage Wrighty.

Well then chances are that we will remain with .co.uk only.

I've never even used YaBB. The entire system was hand coded from scratch. The only reason there is a resemblance is because that's the layout I'm familiar with.

We're a .co.uk for 2 reasons. Firstly because we are a UK based company and as such are targeting more UK based users. And secondly by being a .co.uk we can offer a shorter domain name due to the lack of .com domains available thanks to the number of domain squatters who use them.

Wow, Ross you the man

Hm, I thought these were XML... lol
my bad

CGI is not a language; it stands for Common Gateway Interface, and is a file extension used by a wide variety of languages. The Proboards system is coded in PERL.

That explains it. The source of some of its features are incredibly grotesque.

CGI makes me gag. I have a book on my shelf just sitting there gawking at me: "CGI & Perl - Explained".

I'll stick to PHP I think.
