Have you added your forum to Biggest Boards?

**Brandon Sheley** · 06-03-2008, 10:43 PM

I just thought of a great idea for this site.
If it would offer the html code for forum owners to display on their forums

Like how DaniWeb has their directory badges.
I'll try to find an example of the badges, but this is the detail page

I think that is a great idea and we already have TBB banners that are 80 by 15 (the current standard small banner size), 88 by 30 (the current forum banner size), and 125 by 125 (the current hottest banner size) BUT I just am not happy with how they look yet. I have to get them just right before making them available for people to put on their forums!

I AGREE with you 100% and I hope that have this available for people to put on their message boards in the next week or so! Great idea!

Along the same lines of thinking - Brandon do you have an 88 by 30 banner I can add to our affiliate banners on the TBB forum with a link back to this site. You have been a huge supporter of our site and I would love to add the banner and link back to here immediately if possible! It would show on the bottom of every page of our forums in the footer.

The corresponding webmaster forums on The Biggest Boards are now officially open. We have soft launched them for the past few weeks and they are now open to all. Thanks!
The Biggest Boards Forums

**ArnyVee** · 06-08-2008, 03:58 PM

I just submitted my site to The Biggest Boards Forums.

I thought that you had to be a 'big' forum to join. Guess I was wrong.

**elavender** · 06-08-2008, 04:05 PM

I assumed the same until I saw my website listed. I own a fairly new forum so I'm glad I could be added to the list.

Maybe someday we can topple Gaia Online. They are definitely miles ahead of everyone else so far.

**TVDinner** · 06-08-2008, 04:16 PM

Our site is for EVERY FORUM. That is what makes us different and for ALL. I don't care if you have 1 post on your forum or 10 billion. We want you to submit and be on the list

Thanks everyone. Post here if you have more questions

**ArnyVee** · 06-08-2008, 04:21 PM

I see my little slice of the 'net on the "recently added", but without stats right now.

I'll be sitting at around 40ish (in the 1 to 25,000 posts 'weight class') when the stats are added.

I believe your Walt Disney forum stats are now showing. Can you please verify that everything is correct.

I had to adjust the URL you submitted because the page you originally entered (Walt Disney Boards) did not show the forum stats that the script needs to pull so I adjusted it in our database to the correct Walt Disney Boards
should be all working now!

**ArnyVee** · 06-08-2008, 06:12 PM

Yup...it's there!

Thank you sir. #43 with a bullet

Thanks Bruce - which forum is yours? We had a bunch submit yesterday and I want to make sure that yours is on the list and working correctly!!!

**ArnyVee** · 06-10-2008, 05:14 AM

Oh, oh....Walt Disney Boards slipped to #45!

We should be in at least 44th by the end of the day though.

Hi.
Sorry I did not list my site name or link in my sig. I was not sure if it was appropriate to do so, since I was a new member here. Brandon sent a visitor message and told me it was okay, so I will do that today.

For the record, my site is the OrchidTalk Orchid Forum. (A smaller community compared to most here.) I saw the stats that your system pulled in; it looks like part of the information is correct. We have 2700 members, but it said 85K posts though we have over 103K. I don't know if that will help our status in your list, but it makes me smile since I remember the day that I started the forum and thought that having one other member and me online was so cool! heh...

Question: Will it also pull in feeds from my forum? That is really a nice feature.

Thanks for including my site.

Cheers,
Bruce

**TVDinner** · 06-10-2008, 06:44 AM

Hello! Hope you are well. We are honored to include your forum on our list!!!!!

Our script is pulling the stats from the page you submitted OrchidTalk Orchid Forum

Just now I took these stats from that page, and that is the same that The Big List is showing.

Hi! That is weird. Here are two screen shots that I just took.
Lobby Page (index.php)

Forum Home (forum.php)
2.jpg

Maybe it has something to do with being logged into the forum or not? Regardless, thank you for including us!

Cheers,
Bruce

EDIT: Yes it does have to do with being logged into the forum. We have a general discussion section on our site that is 'Member Only' When I logged out and took a look, the stats you listed were dead-on accurate. Sorry about the confusion.

**TVDinner** · 06-10-2008, 06:58 AM

sweet - thanks for posting that info - I think I can fix this right now - give me a few seconds....

**TVDinner** · 06-10-2008, 07:02 AM

Here is what I did, I changed your submitted URL to this page

Code:

http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchidtalk/forum.php

At our next full site update it should pull the higher numbers now! Let's see what happens but I think this should fix it

**1kether1** · 06-10-2008, 07:08 AM

I just edited my post above. Your script pulled the correct numbers originally. I was logged into my forum and viewing the stats that way. Since we have a 'members only' section to our board, it could not see those extra threads. That was my mistake. I did not realize the stats only counted what was public when someone is not logged into the site. I am sorry to cause any extra effort there. If possible though, could you leave the link to the index.php page since that is where I hope to build PR. Thanks man!

Cheers,
Bruce
