Designing A Forum
how a forum such as this one is created in regards to showing "new posts". For instance, when I view the forum every morning, the new posts are highlighted bold. How is this achieved from a DB standpoint? You don't track every IP/UserID in the DB against every post, do you? What is the most efficient way of accomplishing this?

1. all the content (i.e. the text) is located in an XML file
2. the XML file would then be styled with an XSL stylesheet
3. and finally, the XML/XSL files will be outputed via an ASP script (for all the browsers)
that's all fine and good. the problem is, that for every ASP page, i have to have a separate XSL file. so, for 3 ASP pages, i'd have to have 3 different XSL files. this could become a hassel.
so, my question is, is it possible to have:
- 1 XML file (which holds all the content)
- 1 XSL file (which extracts the appropriate info for each of the 3 ASP pages)
- 3 different ASP pages (which call the appropriate info)

I have some experience in asp coding and we have a nice "Help Desk" portal in our company. The only thing it's missing is an online indicator, where people can see online availability of other co-workers and so on. I want to keep the portal simple as possible.
We are using MsSQL as database. There are about 10 users who are going to use the online indicator. Login is integrated in AD / LDAP. I just dont know where to start making of the online indicator?

I'm currently working on a method for my Personnel/HR department to add job vacancies to our website.
I'm using an ASP with an access database and, not having done anything like this before, require a bit of help.
The entry of data such as job title/ post number and other text based fields has been no problem, it enters fine and displays as I want on the 'display jobs' page. I am getting stuck on the following.
- a way for them to browse to and then upload a job description (word doc) that is then automatically displayed on the 'display jobs' page
- a way for them to tick a checkbox to add links to other relevant documents e.g. if a checkbox on the job entry form is ticked, then that particular document will be added to the jobs listing on the 'display jobs' page.

I want to create a forum. I have noticed alot of the posts here are very long
Yet access only allows for 256 characters max.
Can you use ASP to create a forum?
If so, what type of database is used to store the information?

I am in the process of writing my own forum. It is gone fairly well so far. I been searching different forum scripts, both asp and php, and I can't find this answer.
How is it scripted to only show a forum post that hasn't been read by the current user?
I feel it has something to do with the last visit, and or the date of the
post.
But I am not sure how this is done. On my phpbb forum, I can go in and read something, go back to index, refresh, and that post is now marked as read. how is this done?

my client wants a forum integrated in his website. Ive found some existing forum solutions (snitz, carbon communities etc...). These are great, but my client wants the forum working whereby when a user posts, the post is sent to the clients who then confirms or denies the post. The forum is for a school, hence the very tight regulation of posts.
Does anybody know of an existing forum which allows this functionality (preferably a free forum).

I am looking for a ASP Forum which can be easily modified. This Forum also has to have very little "hard-coded" templates and styles, as I am making a ASP Forum for a Browser that supports HTML v3.1 and very little of all that fancy graphical styles out there.
So the forums should be quite basic and in plain HTML. So in a way I am only looking for the "ASP Forum Engine".

I have been mostly frequenting the PHP forums but now my job makes it necessary to get my hands dirty with ASP.
I am trying to find a Forum Software (Open Source or Commercial, doesn't matter) that has all the bells and the whistles. The following are some of the major requirements:Integration with existing Site and DB (including migration of data from current forum)
Ability to apply the look and feel of the site (if various parts of the Forum can be broken down to components/panes/boxes/windows that can be included in other site pages as well as customisable through CSS)
If anyone knows of any software that meets these requirements, please do let me know. Additionally, if you have experience in using that software, your opinions on it will be much appreciated. Currently I am going through some forum's that I managed to find through searching in SitePoint (ASPPlayground, Snitz, Web Wiz Guide, IdealBB). If are experienced with these

I am running an Access database driven website using ASP in IIS 6.
Lately I noticed people can enter their messages into the Access thread table without login. And the web page couldn't display this particular post. The user name field suppose filled automatically once the user logged in. But the field is empty while the content of post is already in the table.
I can see people has been trying funny things to my discussion forum. The forum works perfectly fine if people don't try anything funny. I've post and reply message in the forum, I've never had any problems.
How can I fully test my website? People call it script testing and Quality Assurance?

I've noticed changes to the forum, for instance... the addition of a "time spent on forums" and user-post "bar" thingiemabob
...And on the front-page I'm presented with a link to "View my warnings"
Which is obsolete, considering that I don't have any warnings (oh, I'm such a little angel!)
Any news or admin care to comment on this?

I have an asp cart system on my site called vpasp and i use a phpbb forum but its very hard to get people to use the forum as i don't have much time to put into it myself. I came across a site that has a forum integrated into the cart system itself so any customer is already signed up and logged in to use the forum once they've placed an order or registered and any topic on the forum about a particular product has a link displayed on that products description page which further promotes use of the forum. I would Really like to have a forum which has features like this which are so integrated on our site but have an extremely tight budget so was wondering if anyone on this forum might know how this might be done? We use VPASP shopping cart system (www.vpasp.com) on an MS Access database. Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

I run my site off an asp cart system called vpasp and i'm currently thinking of installing an asp forum called webwiz forums but what i want to do is i want to display at the bottom of all of my product description pages any forum topics which are related to that product, so it would be something like the search results for the product name which would list the topic headers as links to each topic?
I've seen this on php sites but not on asp sites yet and i wouldn't have the skills to develop an add on like this myself so i'm wondering if anyone here knows of any forum that already does something like this that would run with my asp cart system?
