About TreeView Forum 97' 2.0 Web Edition

The TreeView Forum 97' script is designed for simple and
quick communication within small web communities, scientific
groups or technical web communities. This script is a modern
replica of the popular treeview-based forums from the
mid-1990s, originally written for CGI-BIN. The forum operates
on files and does not require SQL, supporting PHP versions
8+, as it does not use anonymous functions. Unlike other
file-based forums, TreeView Forum 97' features a built-in
search system as well as an extensive statistics system.
TreeView Forum 97 2.0 Web edition has an improved 
registration system, in keeping with the best traditions
of 90s forums. Additionally, unlike other earlier treeview
-based forums, you do not need to search for the latest replies
in threads, as they are displayed on the right side of the forum.
The design of TreeView Forum 97 is based on frames, as was
common in the 90s. On the left, you will see a list of topics
and the latest replies in those topics. The topic list supports
pagination! In the right frame, you will find a search form for
the forum, detailed statistics, and the latest user replies. The
top frame contains a logo linked to the homepage, as well
as a page refresh icon and a clock. TreeView Forum 97' is
highly customizable and allows you to enable or disable
scripts for visitor logging, as well as direct script execution
(directlink). Unlike other file-based forums, this script
includes a message length limitation and some basic
protection against bots and spammers. TreeView Forum 97'
is completely free and is designed for those who are not
happy to viewing information in table format on modern
BB forums. Due to your numerous requests, support for
UTF-8 encoding has been implemented.
