----------------------------------- DanShadow Sun Jan 25, 2004 4:53 pm Computer Forum!! ----------------------------------- This is a l33t program I made last night, which is pretty great. The main purpose of this program was just testing, etc...but eventually (maybe) ill code up a server, and make it so the message b oard is multi-user with multiple computers..but for now, here it is. The program has the ability to create new accounts, consisting of their user access, user name, and password. If a user tries to create a name that already exists, it wont be able too :D . Also, when you try to login, and if the username doesnt exist, it will prompt the user to either create a new login, or sign it with a different name. Once logged in, a normal user has the ability to read posts, write posts, exit and change their password. Sender: Mom Subject: read this jimmy Message: Jimmy!

Post me a message when you get home from work ! Date Written: 25 Jan 04, 22:28:57 see? ....well its a pretty good program...and it has protection f rom stupid users trying to put string values in integers, and from people trying to overflow integers, and from people trying to read the "67th" post even though there are only "50". :wink: Please tell me what you think! ----------------------------------- Lezlan Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:38 pm ----------------------------------- so... i don't get it is this a forum for someone to talk to them selves on? ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:39 pm ----------------------------------- Just look in his message , its not fins=ished yet , its just a taste of what it could do ----------------------------------- sport Sun Jan 25, 2004 8:00 pm ----------------------------------- 1) There is no exit after you enter the forum 2) If you create a user name and then log in, but misspell the password it will ask you to enter the user name and if you enter the same user name it will tell you that the user name does not exist and will ask you to create the user name. ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 8:11 pm ----------------------------------- only a person that cant spell would ver find that bug :D Just playin wih ya sport , its good that the problems are being brought up thosh , helps Dan make hte next version Sweeter , than sweet , woul you ever avtually consider making this a real forum dan ? ----------------------------------- DanShadow Sun Jan 25, 2004 8:56 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah...and listen to this: Command List: - commands == displays command list - read 1 == reads the first msg - post msg == post a message - exit == exit the forum sorry...forgot to post that, lol. And yes, I am thinking of making it an actual forum.....but exams are on right now...and Im just starting to learn how to use a server to connect to multiple clients. But To: Sport have you ever tried TYPING "exit" to exit the forum?? duh To: Lezlan no...this forum is to talk to other people on your computer. Like my mom asks me to leave notes, or phone messages telling her if im going out for a long period of time...so I designed this to leave messages. It tells her the time I wrote it, who wrote it, the subject, and the message..works out :) ----------------------------------- santabruzer Sun Jan 25, 2004 9:03 pm ----------------------------------- what about encrypting and protecting your user database, or "sav"s files ----------------------------------- DanShadow Sun Jan 25, 2004 9:07 pm ----------------------------------- grrr...dont ruin my moment. Read my signature damn you, then rethink your post!! :twisted: hahahah :twisted: Sorry, lol. I havent had time to encrypt all that crap....to hard right now with exams and all. :cry: ----------------------------------- santabruzer Sun Jan 25, 2004 9:11 pm ----------------------------------- ha ha.. it's pretty simple to do.. and i guess exams are killing us all.. but seriously.. if you ever do make a forum product like this.. be sure to encrypt :) ... whatever you do, make sure that if you do, don't write it in turing :P ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 9:20 pm ----------------------------------- i think the point , is to show that turing ca ndo this , its to pus hthe limits of turing , that why i code in turing sometimes ,jsut to say that i got turing ot do this and that , sure its not efficiant butit works ----------------------------------- DanShadow Sun Jan 25, 2004 10:01 pm ----------------------------------- ....wow shorthair....thanks for backing me up...multiple times.... :lol: (and shorthair is correct.)
