How bout just some good 'ole HTML and JAVA? Not everything is Dreamweaver Kas. There was a time when people learned the language and programmed, for me that is better than Dreamweaver. Also sivic, a nice compatilbity chart would be cool, if you have time and feel like doing one. Also, if you have some table\chart creating knowledge (again HTML and Java would be easily done). Researching would be the hardest part, besides debugging. Good luck to ya if ya decide to embark on this.

How bout good OLD HTML sucks :sim:
 
Was that necessary??

As per the original topic, although I do see its potential value, I think it's asking for trouble. Why? Most average fish-keepers are fairly ignorant. There is a girl on another forum right now with about a mile of fish in a 55g and she's constantly saying how we understock our tanks. She would then, I'm sure, throw a huge kink in the reliability of the system. I undersatnd that users could rate how well stocked the tank is, but I'm not sure I'd want newbies trusting a rating that could be from people who don't know better.

I hope that makes sense...it appears very muddled to me LOL

I see your point and agree that it does ruin the reliabilty. The only way i can think of to combat this would be to have a icon you can click to report an overstocking issue and have those entries not appear with others. Other than that im not too sure how to keep the reliability unless anyone else has any ideas?
 
I think that would work, but if you have mods\admins to monitor this, you can just delete entries as you see fit. That will control the "non-sense posts" and stupid comments.

Lol I can work with XHTML, but HTML drives me crazy :P

ANyways, I think that a person to person/peer to peer (P2P) way is the best. We could have one forum for this, and this only. But for now I think it is ok. We only see a few a week.

Yeah i think you might have a good idea with the forum. Just have a single post for 10 gallon suggestions, another post for 20gallon, etc, etc.. And each post could be suggestions. Guess that would a better way to also keep the traffic from this forum to help moderate it. Guess ill stop coding what i got.
