Just a question, how much bandwidth would this portal use? Would it strain a server? or be just like a normal HTML page?
Thanx darlings

Bandwidth shouldn't be any different than what you already have, unless more people start showing up cuz they like your site better
Thanx AllenAyres for the quickness of your reply!
Big kiss coming your way!
Allen is quickly becoming one of my favorite online people.
You not gonna kiss him too are ya?
Heh heh.
I'm still interested to see what coding the UBB Portal will use. Since we have mixes etc.
I have a feeling that this project is going to be moving at a pace that won't allow any of us to tired of anything...
I honestly think this could change a lot of peoples perception of what a UBB "site" is.
it will bring a lot of people back to ubb who were thinking of converting to vB anyway
Yeah, something that was really missing from UBB was a portal.
it will add a certain touch of full ness that doesnt require constant matinence and not as much work as a html encoded side
and give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling...
well maybe not, but it will still be kool
I am a little bit confused. Isn't 'portal' just a catch word? I dont see that much of a difference between so called portal sites and the UBB software itself (with a few hacks).
The one thing I see that would make a true portal site would be incorporaton of content from other locations:
Search Engine
Movie Listings
Weather Reports
Most of the things I see here referred to as portal ideas seem more like community ideas. Is there thought to trying to build a Yahoo out of UBB or am I just confused?
Well, A.J. I've been trying to build things around the UBB. I have accoplished this with my PHP based website. I have released a couple of the pieces (the Ported PHP based Login routines and ubbnews.php) I believe that UBB.portal is referring to a UBB specific PostNuke like interface for the main page.
UBB.portal may be taking a different direction than I am going with mine, but the solution I'm using works well for what I need it to. And my pages load pretty snappy.
