You know what . Building a forum is harder than it sounds. Those proffesionall forums have easy to make theme stuff, smileies in, hard tags to define. it's not easy, although i might be on the virge of making the [img] tag work, which is hard for me, and what not. So i'll try and make a basic one, after it works i'll try to devolop it more and more till it reaches the phpbb level.
