Wow... I guess I'm not as experienced as I thought ;)

I have another weird question.

 

I'm making a forum right now for a friend's site, so how do make replies for other replies on a forum? It has something to do with "parent", but I'm not exactly how it works.

Basically the gist of it is you have a field that is either parent or replyto  that houses the ID of the main forum. From there you can order by date or id whichever and display the reply-to's in sequential order.

 

If you want to do a tree structure than you would need some type of recursion which would check if the reply-to parent thread is a child of another parent.

 

Either way its a fun brain cruncher.
