The forum example included with CCS is pretty basic. Anybody know how to create a more robust forum - like this one? For example - the Smilies - the editing functions - etc.
2nd ?? - how do you get the submit and preview buttons (below) to look like they are 'detatched' from the form?
Thanks

Oh yeah - how would you go about getting and displaying the:
number of posts
last activity
last posted by
I see thousands of forum sites and realize there are free ones to download and use (usually with banners or links you need to keep) - I would like to build a nice one with CCS for total control.
Thanks,

This probably depends on how much details you want to get into. Since our Task Management tutorial is 100-page long then it's possible to write a 1000-page book that describes step-by-step how to implement every feature of a larger application, like this forum. I don't think that anyone will create such a large post here on the fourms 
However, most of these features are already covered in the documentation anyway. I don't know the details, but I'd assume that Smileys is probably done with some free JavaScript function found on the Internet, form/buttons/layout implementation can be seen at http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.html , number of posts/last activity//last posted by - are probably just labels that use the CCDLookUp function. Nothing here seems difficult or non-typical, just requires time to implement.

For details about smileys, do a google search for "bbcode" which should turn
up a number of techniques for embedding/interpreting character strings that
represent the graphics.
The statistical attributes you listed are trivially implemented by writing
appropriate SQL statements (e.g., number of posts would be COUNT(*) FROM
table where ID ='x').
Perusing any of the open-source BB systems would give you specifics of these
and other features you desire.
