I'm being driven mad by this STUPID code. I can't make a message board (text-based) for myself, so I'm trying to adapt Alathon's board system (using AbyssDragon's parser) to my own game (using Ebonshadow.mb.parser) but it aint working!

I can't even figure out how to work the boards in Alathon's Intermundia, so I'm DOUBLE screwed. On top of that, there are no demo's in the Developer Central that's even REMOTELY about message boards!

TRIPLE screwed.

Can anybody help please?

Why the hell was this moved to newbie central? I've seen posts more newbie-like than this on Code Problems, and THIS IS A CODE PROBLEM!

This is a very old but functional message board system that Dantom released in the early days of BYOND. I really don't recommend it as a learning source unless you're an advanced BYOND user, but it may help. Use at your own peril! http://shadowdarke.byond.com/library/msgBoardEx.zip

Code problems require CODE. You supplied none. There is no way for us to help you if we can't see what it is that may or may not be screwing up. We are not mind readers and cannot tell what is wrong just from your description.

Thanks for that...old...example. The code is a bit confusing, and I don't think I can transform it into what I want, but thanks alot.

ooh, the TERRIBLE, UNBEARABLE truth of being TOTALLY WRONG.

Thank you for correcting my most grevious error...I think.

But...do you have a suggestion about my previous topic? Or can you tell me how to work Alathon's Message Board system?
