looks like we are live now. i'm looking into what the issue is with photo uploads right now but other than that everything seems to work right now.

Please:

1. make sure to use YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS to login (instead of your nickname)
2. report any issues you find in this thread

Thanks!

    Student,

    Nice! Is this a from scratch rewrite? What did you use to make it?

    Student, Nice! Is this a from scratch rewrite? What did you use to make it?


    thx.

    it's not very well polished but is fine to start with. here's what was reused from the old site:

    - 146 lines of JS
    - some images/icons
    - around 100 lines of PHP code

    the "core" codebase is pretty flexible and supports amazon S3 for photo storage, caching (flat file & memcached), youtube integration (search, upload, etc). it is based on some generic social networking code i wrote in spare time last year for a few pet projects. i just added some basic forum support, ported the legacy data, setup a new VM instance @ the data center. all in all, i spent 10.5 hours on this (according to the stopwatch) & tada you magically got PT 2.0

    I think the navigation needs work, its a bit confusing. But it looks good, hopefully it can stand on it's ownwink ;)

    My only thing is that I liked it when it was just a forum to be honest, there are too many social networks today, and I already only use one (FB). I will probably still use some of the features though, so I won't complainhappy :)

    Also, put a preview button for the posts!

    Oh noes! Where's the edit post button! I'm lost! AHH!!!

    Anyway, found a bug with username maybe...search for my name, it comes with 2, one me and one floydiandroid_. Maybe it's just an sql DB error?

    Also, please put a warning when someone click's "Delete" on the post....I didn't know it just removed it without confirmingwink ;)

    it's pretty easy to add FB/Google connect so that people don't have to create new accounts on yet another stupid social network. i found it odd that you guys kept posting on PT even though you all got FB. why do you think that is?

    i'll try to add some more features now that the codebase is easy to work with.

    it's not a big deal if the site usage drops from 6 people to 0, it's been trending down anyway happy :)

    re: _floydiandroid -- it's not a db error, someone actually created that account.

    done.

    editing, previewing & "notify me" will probably come next. have to goto a recital now though so maybe next weekend.

    btw, make a suggestion on nav re-org... what's confusing about it right now?

    So what are you doing with the old code?

    spam spam...

    login form - hitting enter doesn't submit the form.

    Also, can we have our icons not some weird arbitrary rectangle? Even square would be better.
