Would it be hard to code a forum? Like to build one? Nothing really nice looking just a regular forum that is simple (I am not planning on making one I am just curious)
Yes, it's hard. It takes months and months of hard work, plus it takes even longer if you have a tight schedule.
By the looks of it, it looks like it takes tons of css and php knowladge along with lots of HTML/XHTML
CSS for layouts, PHP for cookies and such, SQL (I think) for things like the ACP.
You may also need the knowledge of JavaScript too.

For things like forum collapse and PM notification (Though that's annoying in my experience)?
Yeah...besides, AJAX totally replaced Javascript now, for the more aesthetic forum features.
But, a simple forum honestly doesn't take more than a week to build o.o; I mean really simple though~
Josh, how would you not know that MySQL is the whole forum? That's how members, posts, styles, and everything else is remembered. By that alone.

Faltzer how would I not not think that when I was half asleep? Besides, I do not pay
that much attention to web programming as I do to software.
You would have at least included the whole forum instead. You got me started with a mistake.
