yes always back up!:)
i'll post this here cuz it's somewhat related to the clouds search/mod - it's about topic tags!
i went on a "sabbatical" the other day to this giraffe boards forum that i told you i kind of liked in the past - they are still very cool but i find them a bit too limiting as to what they allow where (say they have subforums in which they don't allow pictures to not hinder the convos - whatev:) - anyway - they have this very cool feature which is nothing new really but i've never seen it used so freely and for fun - topic tags! every user can add up to 5 tags (i believe) to any topic and of course they can be used later for search. but the fun part is that they could be the goofiest things sometimes only vaguely related to the topic at hand or not related at all, yet they all kind of find place above the space you're typing in right? (above the reply window) - (they use vBulletin forum software) and it's just cute and cool and fun:)).. anyway, so i looked for a mod that does that on phpBB and there is one - topic tags here http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... #p12864788
only i'm too chicken to install it on the big forum because it's beta!:( but maybe some day when somebody decides to validate it. i'll leave the link here so we can find it later if anybody wants to play with it.
