Interesting. I might try that. Thanks!

Would that be visible to users? If they did, say, a View Source on the page? I'd hate for someone to figure out how to access my bulletin board! :-)

Everyone STOP!!!!!!! CLICKING ON THE LINKS I GIVE! they send me database errors.. cause they are errors... if you dont ill just remove them.

No, it shouldn't be visible. Anything between <?php ... ?> will not be visible when you do a 'view source'. The server parses and executes all the php scripts and renders the page as pure html, without the php scripts.

Well, that's what the RSS feed is. If the XML reneders properly, then it usually means that the feed works. If you want you can check how your feed looks here:

Enter "http://www.cyberxp9.net/blog/?feed=rss2" in the feed field and hit on "View Results". On the results, click on the expand icon to see the contents of each entry.

Btw, the "feed:" protocol is for the Mac's Safari RSS viewer.

I finally got my site working. Here's the live demo:

PLEASE DELETE THAT LINK AND ALL OTHER LINks THERE CAUSE RETARDS KEEP ON CLICKING IT AND I KEEP ON GETTING ERROR EMAILS, ITS FREAKING ANNOYING!

Well, delete the erring link at post 41 and you'll be ok.

I'm wondering if it would be easy to add a box inside wordpress under your categories posting box that lists your forums. This way you could click which forum you want the post to go in addition to your wordpress categories. This would be helpful for people who don't want to create a one blog forum for all the WP posts.

I think that would be easy to do. SQL the forums > html with form data for the checkboxes.

I'm a newbie when it comes to php/mysql programming, but I know enough thatthis should be doable.

I couldn't find where you were inserting information into the database, but that could be done by using the forumid with the associated checkbox.

Hmm, I guess the post wasn't seen, anyways, same question.

I just want to use the wordpress comments system, but have that user integration so users can use their forum account to make comments on the wordpress.

where did you get that skin on your blog?
