I need a simple but functional forum.
It can be in php, asp, perl, cgi - and use an access database or a mysql database.
The following features are needed and there are some special requirements.
>> Features:
MUST have all normal forum features including a rich administration panel, user registration and profile editing, a rich editor and multiple board facilities. As you would expect to get in most free downloadable open source forums.
>> Look:
Must look very professional and have a simple look with a soft blue theme!
>> Special Feature:
There needs to be an extra user level so that as well as normal user and admin, there is also an editor level.
The admin must be able to set any user they wish to ‘editor’ and editor’s can moderate all boards.
The main use of the editor is this…
When a normal user posts anything on the forum it will not go up immediately but first have to be approved by an editor from the editor control panel. So when a user makes a post they will be told that post must first be approved and It will not go up immediately but firs all editors will be emailed to tell them there is a new post waiting for approval, when the post is approved the user will be emailed telling them that the post is now on the forum.

>> Branding:
It is acceptable to modify a current forum although it is VERY important that there is no branding of any sort, there must be no copyrights or advertising at all – this is very important!

>> Demo:
I must see a demo!
>> Pricing:
This price range is all we will pay so don’t make offers with a higher price!
>> Timing:
We have already posted a similar project but did not get what we wanted as we were promised something in one day but actually got a downloaded forum with no changes at all after one week and this is not acceptable,
As we have already posted once, we will be looking for the quickest as an important factor but quality is more important!
>> Thanks:
Happy Bidding
We hope you can help us!
