take a look

It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.

take a look

Post by flann »

I've been working on developing my own forum, and writting all the code myself. I could really use some of your expert opinions on how I'm doing, bad or good. I don't have all the pages done yet, but the main functionality is working. I'm also trying to figure out how to make a good new message box where you can add bold, intalic and so on. http://www.ourlacrosse.com. If you can crash it, or get around my security, please let me know. As a regular user you shouldn't be able to delete your posts, but I invite you to try. Thanks

- Its not valid HTML
- Its not valid CSS
- Search doesn't work (and doesnt have a submit button)
- Members doesn't exist
- Visually, having a (small) footer would be an improvement

We cannot do so. We have no legal permission to attack that server, no proof that you are the authorized owner of the server, and you have no legal ground to permit attacks across the networks between our machine and that server.

You can, however, post your code, and ask us to assess the code.
