The code could definitely do with an overhaul, but in terms of it's functionality and usability, it does pretty well. My thought for mentioning it, was that it may be more worth improving the YaBB code and extending it with any features that might be missing. phpBB already has a big market share and starting from scratch with something like this would be no mean feat.

I started to write my own bulletin board system, but quickly realised that to do it properly would take far too long. YaBB offers all the public facing features I wanted and the admin side isn't too bad to master. In time I may supply patches to improve the codebase, but for the moment it does the job I wanted it to.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
