The original concept for this forum project was:

A sub-15k PHP simple Forum. Users can create new groups, topics and threads and reply to other threads. Wiki-like. Database free, TinyPHPForum uses text files only. Foolproof, easy, quick, tiny. No advanced features.


Okay, now we're up to 163K unzipped (inc a few avatars and 11K of manuals and changelogs), but the concept is the same. The original was comical in its basic-ness - I had just learnt PHP when I created it. Still, there was interest, so I finally got around to updating it, as I need a forum for a new website of mine anyway.

I have re-written the whole thing from the original version, so it is incompatible 100%.

The latest versions include the following new features:

* User accounts with nice pictures and passwords, upload avatars
* Admin account facility (delete, edit, split things)
* Emoticons
* Rich text-ish in posting - text italic link etc
* Ability to edit posts, forums, topics
* Search
* Memberlists
* Skinnable (and easy!)
* Multi-language skins

The following features have been retained:

* Small(ish) certainly smaller than PHPBB etc
* Database free - it is still 100% flat file based

More to come.

For suggestions etc, email me at address at bottom of page.

If anyone has any work for me out there, I'd like to hear about it - web design, PHP design, custom work, Java Applets, technical writing, etc. All considered!
