My forum isnt really finished but I would like to get some opinion of how it is so far. I would appreciate if you see some security holes?

NOTE: If the connection does not work, just click backspace until you see the index page, then refresh. THE SITE HOSTING SERVICE SUCKS!

It's quite well designed. However it has very limited functionality.

 

Also when posting a message with the text

 

' OR it became \' OR (escaped) which should not be shown the user. Rather then escaping the message use

htmlentities($text,ENT_QUOTES); which will encode quotes rather then escape them.

 

I also don't believe that you have made a flood defense feature, although the web host is too slow to test that out.

 

Also at the bottom of every post near the icons i see text "dd232323" perhaps remove that  ;)

 

After posting a new topic it says refreshing and takes you to a page on local host which we clearly can't access.

 

That's about as much I've checked out so far.

oh forgot that, I was going to fix that htmlentities thing awhile go, but forgot.

 

I also havent made a flood system at all, I will create a cookie for the last topic made by the user, then if 30 seconds havnt passed, he cant post a new topic....etc

 

ONE MORE THING! which random text after every post do you speak of? I can't seem them! Maybe you can print screen it or something....

 

 

 

THANKYOU btw.

I would personally recommend a database IP specific timed ban for flood limits but that's up to you.

 

I believe the random text I am seeing is actually a bunch of images ALT tags.

 

images/spacer.gif is not loading for me so I see it's text tag instead.

some more stylistic / usage comments:

doesnt really seem necessary on the home page.  I could see where it would be a good idea and i like the originality, but i feel this would be better suited on the members page.

notice the DD2323WHATEVER next to the buttons... nuff said

 

 

no bw filter, you have a literal "<" displayed in place of the <, same for greater than, quote, amp, and your forgetting to strip the slashes.  It seems your storing the information safely but not displaying it nicely.

 

 

Also to post a topic it was painful... and you used GET variables meaning it would easily be able to make random spam topics with a bot or something.

 

 

overall I'd be very proud of that if i were you.  Its a great accomplishment, if you will, to create a forum.
