Hi,
I just came across this forum today and I could hardly believe my eyes.I have been using phpBB to create forum but I dont know it can be extended with ajax.Am one of the people that believe in Web2.0 especially through ajax.I want to start extending forums with YUI but I need materials/tips/suggestion that can get it done.Thanks

After the forums are complete I plan on putting the code up for download. I will probably post an article or two on how everything was done.

They are still in early development though so that could be a ways away.

An ajaxed login does'nt have a much different way to implement. the only difference is to make connection behind the seen and check for the validity of the username and password. This can be done by browsers xmlHttpRequest directly or by connection class in YUI.
If entered data is valid you go on by changing some items on screen to show user, he/she logged successfully.

Jack has done a great job in his forum object in forum.js (http://jackslocum.com/forum2/javascript/forum.js). Take a look at it.
