Great idea

Hey Rick.

Just wanted to say I think it's a great idea to revive CFMBB.

- Yves -

Thanks! Galleon was a good starting point for this revival.

Sorry - newb here - but I have played with Galleon a little before, and I don't see any differences between this and Ray's tool.

Is there a Comparison chart somewhere that shows the differences? I would like to decide on one or the other to use on a site I am developing. I guess this is more practicle - as I understand it, Ray is no longer developing Gelleon?

cheers
Brendon

well.... if you don't see any differences, you're not looking.

Here's some of the differences:

• Support for BBML
• Support for emoticons
• phpBB style subscription model (you don't get updated with EVERY post, just the first new response to threads you are subscribed to)
• File attachments
• Better "direct message" linking
• Considerably easier thread and message moderation (no need to go to admin to delete threads and messages).
• Avatar support
• Account confirmation support (no access until you confirm your email address)
• Encrypted password support
• Ability to change many settings from the admin interface rather than having to edit the settings.ini on the server
• Support for members-only forums
• Better CSS-based theme support.

In addition, version 1.1, which is already partially done, will add:

• Support for private messaging
• Reintroduce moderator support with "per forum" moderator support (not available in Galleon)

As you can see, the differences are actually pretty dramatic.

Thanks Rick - I didn't mean to offend anyone, not in the least. I guess I worded things a bit funny - I was, being a bit new to this - just trying to find a bit of a chart so to speak -on what the main differences are.

Thanks for the info - it sure sounds like a LOT more features than Galleon. Great work.

Thanks again.

Nah, I wasn't offended =) Glad you like it!
