*I have looked in the stickied topic but could not find specifics so im asking here*

Heya everyone

At work we are developing a website and are in the process of finding a forum that suits our needs, I instantly said Invision board as i have experience with it and the admin side is so simple and generaly awsome that everyone in the company could use it with ease. The developers then came back and told me they were developing in .asp and that the forums need to share user information with the main database and that it may cause problems in communication across pages....

So i ask you, Are there any forum softwares developed under .asp that are anywhere close to the capabilities of Invison board?

Price is not an issue as we dont mind paying for the quality just we just realy need to find something and so far anything we have found does not even come close to invision.

Your help will be greatly apreciated

Ludz~

By 'the database' are you referring to an existing database or to Active Directory?

Software like Community Server (communityserver.org) and DotNetNuke (www.dotnetnuke.com) can interface to AD but use ASP.NET.

Whichever software they choose, if it's a custom database they're referencing, they'll most likely have to code a db interface / provider for it.

    • Microsoft is removing legacy drivers from Windows Update

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is removing legacy drivers from Windows Update by Usama Jawad Last month, we learned that Microsoft is making major changes to the development of hardware drivers in Windows. This included the retirement of Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS), along with the process for pre-production driver signing. Now, the Redmond tech firm has informed partners that it will be getting rid of old drivers in Windows Update. In what is being described as a "strategic" move to improve the security posture and compatibility of Windows, Microsoft has announced that it will be performing a cleanup of legacy drivers that are still being delivered through Windows Update. Right now, the first phase only targets drivers that already have modern replacements present in Windows Update. As a part of its cleanup process, Microsoft will expire legacy drivers so that it is not offered to any system. This expiration involves removing audience segments in the Hardware Development Center. Partners can still republish a driver that was deemed as legacy by Microsoft, but the firm may require a justification. Once the Redmond tech giant completes its first phase of this cleanup, it will give partners a six-month grace period to share any concerns. However, if no concerns are brought forward, the drivers will be permanently eradicated from Windows Update. Microsoft has emphasized that this will be a regular activity moving forward and while the current phase only targets legacy drivers with newer replacements, the next phases may expand the scope of this cleanup and remove other drivers too. That said, each time the company takes a step in this direction, it will inform partners so that there is transparency between both parties. Microsoft believes that this move will help improve the security posture of Windows and ensure that an optimized set of drivers is offered to end-users. The firm has asked partners to review their drivers in Hardware Program so that there are no unexpected surprises during this cleanup process.
    • These SSDs from Crucial, SanDisk, and Western Digital are selling at great prices

      No idea, but I had a client the other week that lost the entire drive to it. I suggested relying on the Samsung T7's instead. The Sandisk Extreme's had reliability issues too.
    • Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it?

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      I use it every day so personally yes I need it, or rather I want it. I use OpenShell though, not the garbage modern Start Menu. I just counted and at the moment I have a total of 92 program shortcuts organized into six folders almost exactly the way I did back in Windows 95. I can get to any program I want to run very quickly. I never use Search to find or run programs.

      I do miss the Apps view from Windows 8.1 Update.

      I use the search function and little else since Windows 11 (but there are times where Saved Searches take precedence since the search feature on the Start menu is worse than before). I use other features in previous releases.
