AdaptBB 1.0 - Frontend Revealed
Posted: Oct 20, 2008 - 5:24 pm (Blog)

The updates haven't been coming too often partially because I wanted to wait to have kind of a "big reveal", info AND screen shots. Luckily this is that day!

A demo is still a little ways off, but I can see it happening in a week or at most, two. The possibility of a beta in that time frame is now also a fairly good possibility. That said in this Blog I'll talk about a few of the unique features and usability of AdaptBB. As well, check out the bottom of the article for the brand new frontend screen shots!

More work on AdaptBB
Posted: Oct 04, 2008 - 1:18 pm (Blog)

An article has been posted on Insane Visions with a monthly post showing last month's poll and then this month's and such. But normally included is an update on one of the scripts and in this posting some exciting things were revealed:

"...But more importantly is what I would consider "Major" progress on AdaptBB 1.0 in the past few days. Several exciting features are not being revealed just yet, but we have now gotten just about all main posting features done (make new topic, new reply, edit post, etc.) and are now working on permissions/authentication.

By all means there is still a lot of work left to do, from a system to know what topics and forums have been read by the user and CMS integration/Forum Converts among more forum features left to do. But with recent gains we hope to continue the progress and be able to release features and screen shots very soon! The possibility of a demo is still not going to happen really soon, but next month it's a pretty good possibility."

I've bolded the most important and exciting tidbits to read. At times it may seem like AdaptBB is a dead script or hardly worked on. It's true for a few weeks no work was done on it, but the lack of updates have mostly been because so many little things have been worked on to get it more and more functional.

But now that the main posting features are done (authentication/permissions were done last night!) we are looking at revealing features and screen shots very soon. With just the progress made between now and the post at Insane Visions, there's even a chance of a demo this month!

Be sure to stay tuned to this site, we will have a Blog posted in the following days as well as the launch of a Gallery and Features page.

AdaptBB - 1.0 Features
Posted: Sep 10, 2008 - 8:54 pm (Blog)

With the announcement of AdaptBB finally going under serious development for the first time in over 2 years, the release of AdaptBB 1.0 is finally going to happen and the work continues.

When it was decided that AdaptBB would be happening, it was then of course time to start the brainstoming. Whereas the CMS market is competitive, but has some holes and much to expand on, the forum market is practically locked up tightly but the two most popular - phpBB (open source) and vBulletin (paid).

However some unique features have been thought of for AdaptBB 1.0 and I'll share a few of those today.

Starting on AdaptBB
Posted: Sep 10, 2008 - 8:54 pm (Blog)

AdaptBB was announced, amazingly, over 2 years ago and v1.0 was never released. But 2 years and a few weeks after the website was first registered, AdaptBB was announced to be back in development. Soon after it was decided that rather than finishing the script, AdaptBB would just be re-done. Now over a month later the work on AdaptBB is still starting, but it's getting there. In this Blog I'll be giving an inside look at the going-ons of planning for a new script and some of the planned features.
