AI Thread Summary
To create a website with a submission form and a search page similar to Google Answers, basic web development skills and a hosting platform are necessary. The submission part requires an HTML form with fields for user input, including a question, name, and email, along with a submit button to send data to a designated email. Styling can be done using HTML and CSS to match the desired design. For the search page, HTML and CSS are used to display submitted questions, while a server-side scripting language like PHP or ASP retrieves and displays this data. Additional features such as user registration, categorization, and a rating system can enhance functionality.

Ok, I need to learn how to make two parts:

One part of the site needs to be like this:

http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=askquestion (thats the submission part)

The other half I need to look like this:

http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=search&catid=1500

Any suggestions?

The more I think about it, I don't really need the forum, but I do need the type of submission on that first link above - is this just straight up HTML code?
 


To create a simple submission forum, you will need to have some basic web development knowledge and access to a website hosting platform. Here are the steps to create the two parts mentioned in your question:

1. Submission Form:
- Create a form using HTML that includes fields for the user to input their question, name, email, and any other necessary information.
- Add a submit button that will send the form data to a designated email address.
- You can also use HTML and CSS to style the form to match the design of the Google Answers submission page.
- Once the form is complete, upload it to your website hosting platform and make sure it is accessible to users.

2. Search Page:
- Create a page using HTML and CSS that will display the search results for submitted questions.
- Use a server-side scripting language like PHP or ASP to retrieve the submitted questions from the email and display them on the search page.
- You can also add filters and sorting options to the search page to make it more user-friendly.
- Upload the search page to your website hosting platform and make sure it is accessible to users.

With these two parts in place, users will be able to submit their questions through the submission form and then search for them on the search page. You can also add additional features and functionalities to enhance the forum, such as user registration and login, categories for questions, and a rating system for answers. Good luck!
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
