The Treehouse Forum

What would be a nice addition is a button to say 'Solved' or 'Done' for questions where someone's answered, but the answer wasn't everything the Author was looking for, so we can know that someone still needs help.

Thoughts?

Hey Aaron,

I too really enjoy the forum system here at Treehouse, and I certainly know what you mean about the run-of-the-mill forum systems like VBulletin, Invision, and phpBB. If you're looking for something clean, fresh and open source, you should check out vanillaforums.org. It's really nifty and super easy to implement and tweak!

Cheers,

J.T.

P.S. - Andrew, I really like that idea. You should make a separate thread about it on the forum and add the "forum", "feedback" and "suggestion" tags to it! :-)

Ditto what @Aaron said, would definitely love to have series for building this forum. I was curious what language was used to make this forum? Thanks

Khemraj,

I suspect that this forum software is written using PHP or RoR, although I suppose there's no reason it couldn't be written using some other sort of server-side language. I don't know for sure either way, though.

Best,

J.T.

I think It's RoR from the Headers:

Cache-Control   must-revalidate, private, max-age=0
Connection  keep-alive
Content-Encoding    gzip
Content-Type    text/html; charset=utf-8
Date    Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:09:27 GMT
Etag    "0890cf442c6398135da04f0166b3c119"
**Server**  *nginx/1.2.3*
Status  200 OK
Transfer-Encoding   chunked
**X-Rack-Cache**    *miss*
X-Request-Id    e99a63547eb08403c86eedde6b1a11e5
X-Runtime   0.215325
X-UA-Compatible IE=Edge,chrome=1

Normally X-Rack-Cache is a RoR module? and Apache's 'usually' used for PHP, not nginx, at a guess.

That's pretty sleuthlike of you to come to that conclusion. :-) I wouldn't have thought of that.

@Andrew -

Or you could just check out builtwith.com

Which says ... Ruby on Rails and Nginix

James, I never new such a site existed! That is pretty cool!

@JT - It's pretty neat especially the trends section which shows how popular a particular technology on the top sites on the web.

cheers for the answers guys :D

@JT - So apparently tagging has been added to the forum, I see you tagged me. But I can't figure out how it works, how did you managed to do that?

I cheat and turn every person's name into a link. I figure that's the best work around until tagging is added. Maybe it'll catch on. :-)

Edit

Yeah - I realize it's a little bit of extra work, and probably not very semantic of me, but I do it anyway. :-)

J.T. - I never noticed that you did that before.
