Kakaman, it is alright. Threaded format has its advantage as well as negative aspect. One thing that I don't like is whenver I click on a sub-thread, all I get may be a stupid one-line kind of answer. Some may be good inside, but you need to mine all the threaded answers but most of the times, you may be just get nothing after all the wasteful clicks (good for page-view counts..haha ).

Dear Adrian, thanks for the constructive feedback. I have forwarded your URL to my staffs to take a look (but I know everyone is fully tied-up with commercial assignments). I will go through the site on my own to pick up some basic from there as well. Frankly, sandwiches between business development for MIR as well as maintaining constant site development for PIM, I find little time on other things. For an example, I still have a few outstanding sites which is overdue for some time (that is more important to me as I hate doing half-baked resource-site construction). One of them is the Canon EOS-1n see: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EOS-1n/index.htm
So, this board may also be regarded as half-bake in terms of functionality but at least it serves its basic purpose at a starting point. So, let me finish some of the "priorities" first. In the mean time, I also need to observe how is the responses (+ the practical aspect) for this kind of forum. Once again, Adrian, a big thanks.

Hi, on your concerns about a PHP, I can understand the issues you face with a new system and message board. However I can assure you that you don't really need to learn much about PHP in order to implement the PHPBB system.

The default PHPBB system is in "ready to install" format - you don't need to do any PHP coding in order to set it up.

Just take a look at www.phpbb.com to see if it's worth your time.

Yes, this is exactly what we need in Malaysia. An active English-medium photography forum. Since there will be so many topics from different kinds of photographers, may I suggest we have something like a PHP Bulletin Board (PHPBB). At least we can sort out discussions in a more organised manner. Thanks! Cheers! Hardy

I am testing to see if this kind of forum works here. I don't like to stress my staff force to provide me a thread-like forum format, so, I just tried to replicate & modify an existing message board for this purpose (man at 50, please don't ask me to learn more complicated php stuffs... so, tolong 2.. this bare basic format has already cost me four hours to make this simple MB works). But I do hope everyone can make good use of it as well as restraint on the input. Try avoid posting sensitive topic(s) which might call in unnecessary responses from other concerned parties. In an ideal format, I would like to view the posted content prior to publish it, but as much as I want to give freedom of expression in opinion. So, that format is reserved only if this section has gone out of control in day to day content management. So, in the mean time, just enjoy with what I can offer here right now. Thank You.

Sorry for not publishing my email publicly. For urgent matters or any viable potential web business prospect for MIR (hehe..) just use a little bit of imagination, adds a leofoo in front of MIR.com.my. Enjoy.
