After a few hours of hard work I finished part of the new integrated forums system. Registered members can now browse the forums, post new topics and reply to existing ones.

All that needs to be added now is editing, deleting, and a bit of neatening up on the template.

On the site as a whole, all there is at the moment is the front page and the forums. The rest will be added soon though, as it's now a lot less work than it used to be.

Over a year ago, the original idea for Flashare was born. It didn't have a name or a design, just the idea to create a site which rewards the creativity and talent of Flash developers.

Now, in 2008, after many changes of design and coding, the final version of Flashare is born.

The site is now using the Smarty template engine, allowing for the design and application layers of the website to be completely separated. Any number of completely different site designs can be switched between without having to touch the PHP code.

This new version of the site brings a new template, built from scratch, which aims to streamline content into manageable sections, such as the new 'helpers' to the right which display content relevant to the current page.

We hope to get this new version of the site completed as soon as possible, so keep checking back.
