1. Intro


I've been working on some web forum software for the last few years, and it's time I make a thread about it :P

minibord is sort of AcmlmBoard clone. It's designed to be fast, lite, and work on a wide variety of browsers (new and old). It's definitely very unfinished (and doesn't even have post editing/deleting or any moderation functionality >_>)

(I should mention that this project effectively replaces my older AcmlmBoard Zero project)

That being said, minibord does have a handy set of features so far, and more is on the horizon

Allow me now to show off some screenshots of the latest version of minibord in action!

2. Screenshots



The forum menu. Supports showing which forums have unread threads (and the number of unread threads when logged in)


Posting a new topic. HTML and smilies (albeit a limited number) are supported (as well as post layouts)



The editprofile and profile pages. Not a whole lot of options or profile fields yet though


A cool feature is quick reply, which lets you quickly type a reply on the thread page without having to go to the "new reply" page first



What's a web forum without different themes! More themes and a much more customizable theme system are to come


You can even choose a theme to use when logged out

3. List of features


Here's a mostly complete list of features that minibord has
  • Posting threads and topics

  • Unread post tracking

  • Marking individual forums (or every forum) as read

  • Optional/Toggleable HTML support for posts, bios, and post layouts (with support for an external HTML sanitation library)

  • Post layouts

  • Pages on forums and threads

  • A memberlist

  • Smilie support

  • Theme support

  • Using a theme with logged out

  • Database-stored headlinks (for configuring the links at the top without editing any files)

  • IP logging (for users and guests)

  • Token-based login system

  • IP verification for login cookies (as well as logging for a cookie-IP mismatch)

  • Tracking when a guest with cookies enabled changed IPs

  • Profiles and profile editing support

  • Namecolors

  • Rudimentary RSS feed support


4. Teasers


Here are a couple teasers for soon approaching features


A screenshot of the database for a future version of minibord, showcasing a plan for a powerful permissions system complete with groups, ladders, and scoped permissions.


The next update will also add the ability to have optional pictures next to each forum (to spice things up or make things more lively)

5. Roadmap


I've got big plans for minibord, and they likely wont be finished anytime soon >_>

The next update is going to be massive and completely change the way minibord works; with the introduction of the permissions system next update, certain tables will be renamed to have a "global_" prefix, and some to have a prefix of your choosing. This will allow you to set up multiple instance of minibord that share the same database and same userbase, while having a unique set of forums/posts/etc for each instance.

This will also allow future integration with other new software that's currently in the works (in particular my not-yet-released webpage creation software)

Some aspects of minibord will also be split of into a separate library called minilib, which will handle the "global_" database tables and authentication aspects (likely among other things).

Aside from that though, here are some other things I want to implement:
  • Allowing to edit/delete posts (part of permissions system)

  • Moderation functions (part of permissions system)

  • Revise RSS to be allow for thread/forum-specific feeds

  • A completely revised and more powerful theme system

  • More smilies and themes

  • Implement more OOP-related things

  • ...And more!


6. Download and Demos!


Interested in trying to set up minibord for yourself? Wanna just poke around the code?

Here is your magical github link!

If you'd like to interact with some example boards, I've got two for ya:
