New Topic Suggestion
« on: September 28, 2007, 05:36:39 PM »
Since the rise in popularity of weather web sites using php, ajax and so forth, I think a new topic titled something like Scripts or Scripting would be beneficial to the forum. It would be a place to post topics about ideas, help needed, try this, works for me, and so on.
Currently, the topics of this nature are scattered about in various forums.

Just a thought...

I think this is a fine idea. I'm for it.

Curly, perhaps you could edit this thread into a poll.

Kudos for adding in an "Undecided" selection, even thought I didn't use it.

Too many sites, even the biggies like CNN, will put up a 2 choice poll, when I suspect many people would use "Undecided" or "I don't care" or "It doesn't affect me", if it were available.

So far, the voting shows 10 yes+ 7 don't care with only 2 no's

Curly, what would you like the forum called:

"PHP and AJAX scripting"
"Weather Website PHP/AJAX scripting"

"Your title here"?

I just made the suggestion...
What ever is appropriate is fine with me.

I do like "Weather Website PHP/AJAX scripting" because it is more descriptive . Otherwise it may lead to non-weather related posts.  If that title is a little too long, maybe "Weather Website Scripting" would fit in with the other topics under Web Weather.

Since you are the top contributor of the subject, what is your opinion of adding a new topic?
