EineyEntertainment Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Bah humbug, I keep having issues with this silly old forum. I can either get the BB Code to work, but for some odd reason everything is unsecured...or the vice versa. Can anyone hook me up with a secure forum that is BB code-able? I would love you forever, and I apologize for being a needy gal again lol. Quote

shedh Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Re: BB Code forums imo i think SMF is one of the best forum system you can get, it is very secure and you don't have to update it every couple of weeks becuase of faults in the code. other than SMF (if you want to pay) i recommend Burning Board from WoltLab again this hardly needs updating, its also used on Amazon Survival i think Quote

Using a hidden internal forum kills the free exposure/promotion of your game. I never understood why some games want a ingame forum. Using a external forum, it will generate 1000s of links for your game Using a ingame forum, you will have a link for your mainpage/register/login/faq/screenshots/... Quote

Agreed, I converted the v2 forums to v1 for my game. I'm making it viewable via the outside now as well, may take a while as its not something im looking forward to doing. Quote
EineyEntertainment Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 Re: BB Code forums problem with external forums is that there isn't no real connection to the game. its why I like the in game forums. You insult someone, your player ID is attached to it...no hiding. One click and boom you can hospital someone. If I can figure out a way to get it to work right, then it'll be perfect for me :) Quote
Cronus Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Re: BB Code forums I could probably create an integration with smf. But, im not up for trying it atm, but maybe i will in the future... Quote
