This is no different than all the other help request threads pinned in this forum. It may be helpful to see specific problems in topic titles for photoshop, computer, flash, and video editing help too, but we decided to use genre specific help threads instead of a thread for each individual issue. I don't see the difference.

Who ever has a question should just bold their question and make it red text (Ew) so it's more noticeable.

I do have a question though.

How do I add a login script to my forum onto my homepage?

Very good suggestion. I will add that to the main post.

As for your question, it gets complicated unless you tell us which forum you use. http://invisionize.com has scripts for invision board. You just run some PHP to get the users' cookie. If the cookie exists, then you display their user info or whatever. If the cookie doesn't exist, then the login form appears.

(Don't laugh) I use IPBFree in which I might upgrade to Invision, but I think it costs a lot of money.

Can't do it with IBPFree. Yeah, it costs money to upgrade.

Haha 150 bucks, no way.

BUT, Does anybody know any good free script sites?

You should look into phpBB it does lack some features of IPB, but It has many many 3rd party modifications that can fill in for the missing features.

As for Free Scripts site?
Hotscripts.com
GScripts.net

You could also check tutorial sites for php scripts:

First of all, are you slicing as you code? or just slicing the whole thing then trying to code it? The first one is much easier.

Also we can't really do anything if we cant see your code tongue.gif

Maybe have one of those IP trackers, or something like this (Map Loco), and make that person visit your page. It'll probably show the user's IP + location on the map.

Yes it is me flaming-ace starting yet another site, well recreating one. So i'll need lots of help biggrin.gif
--------

Remember It?
Do you all remember the flash can?
If not read on...
The flash can was a site set up by me and frekle18 it was a flash portal site where users could upload their flash creations and comment and rate other peoples.
When we had the first eddition online it was doing well for a bit, then its started to die down, so me and some other people made a new layout improved the php and thats when the second edition was born, again users started coming for a bit then it died down again.
Recently i got a letter in the mail saying that the domain name needed renewing, but i could'nt be bothered to pay so i want a new name for the site.

So im going to spend a lot on the site now, i want it to be a success this time.
-------

We Need A Name
Ok first we need a name for the site
Before we can start making a new layout and stuff we need a name for the site, i dont like the flash can anymore, i kinda dont want a name with the world flash in it, thats why i like the name newgrounds, i was thinking about somthing to do with trash though becuase i liked the idea of a flash being trashed (much like a flash being blammed on newgrounds).
-------

Whats Going On Then?
Ok so below are the areas of web development that i will need people to help me with:

- PHP/SQL Scripters (to improve the code i have so far)
- HTML/CSS Scripters (We will need a new layout)
- Graphic Designers (Logos, Banners, Wallpapers and other things like that)
- Flash Developers (Featured Games, Banners, needs to know a lot of AS)
- Artists (Flash artists, or whatever)
- Mods (Yes i think we will have a fourm this time)

Maybe more, i'll add to the list.
-------

If you have any more ideas or want ask me somthing pm me or email me at:
liamjordan1992@hotmail.com
(add me on msn with that address if you want)

by flash developer i mean, you would be part of the team, and you would create content such as:
- flash banners
- flash games and carttons (these would be like featured content that would be kind of like owned by the site, not just stuff people have uploads, newgrounds has stuff like tankmen)
- other flash stuff like that
