AI Thread Summary
To add a shop feature to a forum where users earn money for posting, several factors must be considered, including the forum software used, hosting type, and access to core files. InvisionFree forums, for instance, do not allow FTP access or HTML template modifications, limiting customization options primarily to JavaScript through board wrappers. Consequently, implementing a shop feature is not feasible on InvisionFree. For greater flexibility and customization capabilities, transitioning to a more versatile forum provider like Forumer is recommended, as it supports modifications and enhancements that can better accommodate the desired features.

What would I do if I have a forum and I'd like to add a little shop feature, that when you post, you get money, and there'd be different things you could buy, such as ranks, posts, and more?

It depends on several things:

1. What forum software do you have?
2. Are you hosting it or via a Forum provider?
3. Do you have FTP access or access to the core PHP files?

...InvisionFree forums. >_>
 
That forum provider does not give FTP access or access to the HTML Templates. The only way you can customize your forum is via the board wrappers, often only using JavaScript, which might not be the easiest thing for most people.

Neither of those features you want is possible with IF forums. If you want more power over your forum you could always try another forum provider like http://forumer.com . I have had experience with them and I think that they are good and suite most needs when it comes to modifications, skins and graphics etc.

Good luck with your forum :)
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
