A basic PHP/MySQL powered forum system with a minimal storage footprint.
Test out or discuss Agora forum here: https://agora.evalyn.app/
- A cozy and mobile-responsive default theme.
- Uncomplicated code (No unexplained regex, things are generally written in a pretty straightforward manner)
- All primary forum functions supported without Javascript (Javascript still enhances some features)
- Powerful BBCode parser written specifically for Agora (No regex used. Very straightforward to edit.)
- A semi-interactive editor for composition that assists users with their BBCode markup.
- Optional email address confirmation system
- Private messaging system
- Lack of feature bloat (or just an excuse as to this list being short)
- Add boards
- Add more admin tools and improve existing ones
- Search feature
This is a reference of the currently implemented bbcode tags. This list should be incorporated into a help menu within Agora itself at some point.
