  1. I recognize this forum layout as one I've seen before, and like. I have a use for such software. What product is it?

    How do you guys like this forum?

    I am working on moving this forum over to an ASP.net based forum

    What features do you guys think this forum lack?

     
  3. I think the Snitz forums are great, the only thing might be the search tool. There is no indexing of the results, so sometimes you have to dig through a lot of non-relevant posts ... (as a result of a 'wide' search.

    I'm hoping that Snitz eventually will come up with a .NET version ...

  4. I think this forum is fine, it works well and is easy to use. One feature, though, that I think would be useful would be syntax highlighting in code snippets. It makes it much easier to read that way. You could add buttons for "C# code," "VB Code" and "ASP code" which wuld do the correct highlighting. I'm not sure how you access the VisualStudio highlighting, or even if you can, but you could borrow the code from WebMatrix or, as a last resort, use the RichTextBox. See www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/June/SyntaxHighlightInRichTextBoxP1.asp.

    Just a thought, I dont' think it necessary but it really would set this forum off from others and make it very specific to .NET

    Thanks for the recommendation.

    I've forwarded the code highlight suggestion to the developer of our new forum software. He responded back saying that he's already thinking about this feature and he will likely implement this in his next release.

    Thanks again.
