Discussion forum [Site]

2006 Nov 2
We now have a discussion forum to replace the old bulletins. I hope you find it useful!

In the coming days I'll add some kind of notification scheme and a way of tracking which posts are unread.

New forum features I added tonight:

* You can post pictures to the forums. (Thanks Ashley for the suggestion)
* Discussions are "seen" by the search engine.
* Pictures you post to the forums appear in your profile ("Forum Photos").

What software are you using for the forum? It's very slick and I like how it integrates with the rest of the site.

Thanks, that's a nice compliment! The reason the forum integrates well with the site is that I wrote the whole site (including the forum) from scratch... the basic discussion forum only took part of a weekend to create because I was able to reuse the nitty-gritties from the rest of the site. :)

Oh, hunh. It just looks a lot like a WordPress install. :) My mistake.

Hahaha.. yes, if you look at item 14 on the "about" page:

# This site is ugly!
Yeah. Sorry about that. I'm a programmer not a graphic designer. For any visual beauty you might find here, I credit the default theme from the Wordpress blogging application, from which I borrowed the basic page shape and layout. If you think it's ugly now, you should have seen it before wifey gave me her input!

Alas, I was hoping the forum was some sort of fancy Wordpress plugin. Either way, the forum is very nice -- snappy and responsive, and the RSS feed is a huge bonus. Great work :)

It's also fantastic to have an Ottawa-centric foodie site. I've already read about two places here that are now on my "must visit" list.
