Ive been trying to figure this out for a while, its driving me insane.
Ok, im making a forum script, and want to know how, like on this forum, you can make it so theres a table of links to every thread. how do you do that? i cant explain it really good, sry, so if theres a tutorial on this, or you guys can tell me what functions 2 use that would be greeeat.

All the links are stored in a database with a unique ID, I assume that the code used just pulls all of these out and makes them into a link using their unique ID as part of the links' query string. Like so:
http://www.devnetwork.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2310
where 't' is the topic ID.

I don't think there's a specific forum tut out there... it's a bit too complex usually to create a simple tut for.
If you're using flatfiles maybe I can help since I did one, but be specific about what sort of system you use... there's usually more than one answer... plenty more.

You should be able to find something there, I'm writing my own forums script at the moment, and that place is good for reference

THANK YOU

I'd highly reccommend the Penguin Mints myself, on that page under more candy.
