I have my own forum, and I'v been working on adding some cool stuff to it, I've learned html just for this forum. Now the people at the forum said I should add a point system, so every member would start with 0 points and If they do something good then I can easily give them points and take away points.

I have a friend with his own forum, and he said it's done in javascript so thats why I'm asking this here, Also if any of you are familiar with the admin cp of a forum, I'd appreciate it even more if you told me where I would put the coding for this point system. So if you know the coding please post it here for me, also my friend told me that it is very complex coding, and that chances are it will take more then one person to figure out, so if you must, you can go to my forum(www.thedspwners.tk note: it is a forum for dicussing the nintendo ds and other video game) and pm me because this might be something that two people have to work on together.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I suggest that you should look at the posting guidelines yet again.

Another thing which is guaranteed to put people off is to say "thanks in advance", and even more so in capitals. Please do not take people who you are asking to help you for granted.

But I'll tell you for free that your friend is not correct - what you are trying to achive cannot be done with JavaScript, which has no ability to read from or write to a file. You can only do this using a server-side language.

ok thanks for that little bit of advice, he probably lied to me because we are kinda having a competition to see who can make a better forum with more members and is more active and stuff, so he probably lied so I wouldn't be able to do it, and I wouldn't be able to beat him. oh well I'm winning anyways.
