Hey guys,
quick question...
is it better to have one db table or two in your design of forums?
I can see advantages to both approaches..
Thanks
Andrew

When designing my forums, I had (besides the users table)
forums
forumtopics
forumentries
And I wish I would have had a forumentries_text table, to store the raw post data. I eventually got a solid way to reverse my custom bbcode, but it was a hassle to figure out.

Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
