    Question Irony...?

    Doesn't anyone think it's a little bit ironic that VBForums uses PHP serverside scripting...?

    I think he means why doesn't it use VBScript.
    We don't know what's wrong. . . So the best bet might be to remove something surgically.

    Well ...

    He probably means ASP.Net

    I think VB World has moved to ASP.Net already (probably thanks to Karl the Great )

    And I think since VB Forums uses vBulletin which is a ready-made software for bulletin boards, there's precious little that can be done about the use of PHP. You would be without all these cool features for a year or two if Karl decided to develop a similar package in ASP.Net!

    Because it's the best tool for the job, and that's what John used when he originally developed it.

    .html was the extension right at the start. The whole .htm thing was because of DOS's inanity.

    Not really, no.

    LOL...

    Yeah okay, I guess that it is vBulletin, which uses PHP. I was just a little surprised that, excluding the obviousness of the forum system, the site didn't utilise its preached serverside language.

    And that doesn't mean VBScript on the clientside, ya daft - but funny - fools...

    Because they are using a prebuilt forum. This forum solution is used all over the net.

    It started here though, it was written for VB-World.
