Good? I don't know. I just pick a random one. Personally, I prefer to use jQuery. But because it is only a demo site, I don't want to spend all my time to modify it. If I have some free time (I don't have much unfortunately), I prefer to spend it to think and create XThreads example application. With it, I hope I can help Yumi and other members here. At least, I can share it. If I don't have any idea for what XThreads application to be created, I prefer to spend my free time to take care my (not mine, actually) real forums. If there is not something I would do in the real forums, that's the time I will spend my time there.

Actually, we have it in some Xthreads example applications. Unfortunately, no one cares to "read" it. Even we have three column in Article Gallery.

I don't mind if people dissect, rebuild and publish it. What's wrong with that? As I said, what's the good thing from the index page? I didn't kidding when asked it Please do that if you want. I don't care about it No one can prevent anyone to duplicate our pages.

But yeah, I like to design a page that most admins don't like to design it. For example, most admins prefer to design Portal page, but I prefer to design index page. If you view the demo site's portal page, there is only news bar and a modified MyBB default latest thread box there. Other example, I like to design my Quick Thread layout. You can try to click the newthread button in this forum: http://www.14.mynie.co.cc/forumdisplay.php?fid=33 Other modification I like to do is UserCP. I know that it is one of a bunch negative side from me. Doing something which is not popular. But sometimes, we need to do something out of the box, right?
