I understand that no one here has written the Journal VB code. Must we use that code for the journals? Wouldn't our current forum style be sufficient? The real differences between our current forum and the journals:
- allowing and blocking members from reading specific threads
- and possibly allowing ordinary users to create "sub-forums" within the journal section. Each sub-forum is the member's journal, he can obviously only have one sub-forum dedicated to him, or the journal sub-forum can just be created at registration.
Difference (2) would allow these things:
- each entry becomes it's own thread,
- readers would reply to said thread just like any other thread,
- we could see which entries have had recent replies.
Obviously I am a fan of suggestion (2), but I could live without it. If ever user could not create a sub-forum for their own journal, then all entries would be lumped together as well as all replies. The only problem becomes: blocking users from reading specific posts (entries) and knowing what reply goes to what entry.
Just my ideas... If I actually understood/appreciated the complexity behind it I would probably not be typing.
