the more I am exploring it, the more I see it nicer and nicer.

About path? Is there a way to add one more path? I'd like to use it as a game, like some sort of Fictitious Republic, with the government, the opposition and the rest of us. But I would need to create one more path... This way, people add their two cents according to their interests

[Apok2002]

Yes, I was just thinking about that. On some of our threads, you'll see that there are people who respond...then edit that thread and say "oops, etc...." because they were posting at the exact same time as another person. IF that happens...then the story could be "jumblefied". But 2 points:

1) This will happen on "interactive story threads" no matter what.

2) The further along the story is...it's less likely there will be 2+ plus posters at the same time, because the options will be story options will be greater.

Lionel - having more than 2 paths would be very hard to do using the system i'm using at the moment, and make the hack a lot harder to make, so I personally don't have any plans for more than 2 paths.

Nice idea.

Does the forum censor automatically work?

Smilies?

Also, there has to be a quick way that staff can edit or delete entries in case of abuse.

[Ninth Dimension]

what do you mean by forum censor? if you mean the login page? then yes, it's set to block people that are of the following user groups:

1 - Unregistered / Not Logged In
3 - Users Awaiting Email Confirmation
4 - (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation.

more can be added

staff moderation is something that I will be working on, but I want to try and get the main code working as I want it first

(this is just me, but) I personally think that if I was going to write a story it would want to keep it all in one thread, rather that having it split off all the time

the idea of this hack is to get your users more involved in using the forum, and expressing themselves

anyway, i'm just working on beta3 at the moment, this is going to support multipul stories split into multipul genres

I like your hack but I prefer to wait for "support multipul genres" Good job with this hack, I keep my eyes on this one.

[Ninth Dimension]

i've almost finished the multi-genre verson of the hack, will be uploading soon, the only problem with it at this stage is that you will have to add all the genres and stories to the database manually because I've not yet got as far as developing any form of admin for it yet.

[Jashugan]

Cool hopefully you will solve the Admin system problem, you can PM Firefly and ask him about it.

Also I wonder if I go ahead and install it, Does it has capability to upgrade the hack whenever new features come out?

I would love to say yes, but i'm going to have to say no.

Reason for this is that the new one add's 2 more tables to the database, renames and story table, and add's some extra fields to it.

But, with luck, after this next verson, upgrades will be possble. *fingers crossed*

K thanks for response, wish you good luck with your hack, it look fabulous for my board though
