comment feature

Like indicated in the iceteks changes forum, I reprogrammed the front page news sytem, and I also integrated a comment system, so please do use it as other tech sites will like to get feedback from their articles - and realize people actually read them at least once in a while.

You have to be a registered forum member to use that feature though. That way I don't have to worry about anyone posting anything. I already had a troll take advantage of the no password feature in the news posting, but because of the admin validation, it never made it on the home page.

That looks really neat! How long did that take you to do?

Redesigning the posting script took me a few hours last night, and the comment feature (database structure was already planed out) took me about 2-3 hours or so today. The rough programing of it takes about 30 minutes, but the rest is debugging and stuff.

I pretty much had this planed for a while so it helps when you know exactly how you want to database structured and such.

If any of you find something interesting on a site, feel free to post it.

I also caught a stalker with this since that IP in the shoutbox is someone stalking me on a bunch of forums tehee! He was dumb enough to use the new posting feature to post the F word and other offensive stuff, hoping it would go on the home page right away, but since I removed the password feature, I put a validation feature.

Now I need to go put a new toy in my sig for that stalker.

I left a comment, it's cool red, but what about a redirect page instead of clicking "go back" thats real bland.

Yeay I could make a redirect. That was actually a quick thing just thrown there instead of having a blank page.

I'll add it in when I get the chance.
