The BBBB provides an easy way to set up a BBS-style frontend
for user input. Its usage should be fairly self-evident, even
to the novice. mySQL (www.tcx.se) is required for use.
The script mimicks the look of Brian Moon's 'Phorum' available at
http://brian.threadnet.com/forum/ but the underlying code
of BBBB is completely different:
- multiple levels are supported
- there is hardly any mySQL access or resource-intensive work
necessary when simply reading the table or single messages.
This job is done when messages are posted, which will happen
much less frequent.
- email notification when a new message is posted to a subscribed
thread. Optional.
- HTML tags inside bodies. Optional.
- users may delete their own postings. Optional.
- autodetect language to send to the browser. Optional.
- no cookies involved.
- the code is modular, which makes is easy to add own functionality.
If you do so, please send me your improvements. They will be added
to the next version.
