I hope to make someone out there know that the old HTML is out and new PhP is in.

Not being a techie, I have never heard of PhP.
But I can tell you that FR is by far and away the most user friendly discussion forum I have found anywhere on the Internet.

Sometimes less really is more. No bells or whistles, thanks.

I agree with maceman AND sarasota...I looked at your website and I found it busy and cluttered....
Sorry,

With all due respect, I suggest you start your own blog.
Then you can have PhP, AbC, XyZ or whatever floats your boat and is 'in' at the time.
OH Wait, I just used HTML, how silly of me.

Well, yes - the flashy video game style would appeal to many of the youngsters out there. I personally have no problem with HTML.

Here, how about a
HYPERLINK to your recommended site, courtesy of good ol' fashioned HTML.
Ummmm, you *do* know HTML?
...don't you? {g}

I hope to make someone out there know that the old HTML is out and new PhP is in. PhP is in? Then why haven't I heard of it? I think you're being either premature, optimistic, or wishful here.
FR is the most user friendly forum I've found, whether using it or just poking around and reading it for fun.

About the only change I see needed is a way to edit or delete a post after it is posted.
Also maybe some way to add html formating for those that are not up on html. Like a few buttons to add the common tags.
Other than that html works for me.

AFAIK, The pages here a generated dynamically. The articles and posts are generated from a database. PHP allows you to create dynamic content, but we already have that here.
The visual design is (or at least should be) separate from the technology used to generate the page. There was a plan, at one stage to allow users apply their own stylesheet to FR, and thus alter the look (I am not sure if that ever came to pass). You have some settings under the user options that can make changes to the look of FR.
In any case, every page you view is HTML, it is what your browser expects. What PHP allows is embedded "scripts" that are run and then output as HTML (e.g. <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>>'; ?> will output the HTML <p>Hello World</p>. In most applications what is "echoed" will be changed dynamically.
