I keep getting distracted by stewart1champ's Gangnam Style icon everywhere I go, so... I have to ask... what is the technical thing you want to do?
Power of the Gangnam! Haha.

That's a good look...
Hopefully I can find a coder in the meantime to help me with this one task...otherwise there isn't anything to test....it displays just fine and can be styled in anyway you want as it is now...the data retrieval works 100% already. My problem is with something technical I want to do to make this not effect page load times almost at all comparatively.

Is this somewhere to start?

laztrix has a working one @ his site! Contact him maybe he can help you out www.diviksfilm.com
I don't really want to share what I have until it is done...accomplishment kind of thing...I just need something so I can finish my version of this friggin thing already.Would you not be interested in releasing what you have? Chris has offered/asked... not sure what other devs are doing at the moment. Not sure any know the amount of time even needed for the task, so that might be why there is little interest thus far.

Well if I wanted to make what I needed help with public I would have...I know already that it is not something fast like tell me and it's done...and someone else doing it doesn't help me....I dont run a forum...I learn to code...handing it off means I have done nothing, not to mention...I don't know how to describe what I want to do so there is no way I am committing it to text even though spoken aloud I can clearly describe what I am lacking...granted that it would take me 20 minutes and that is spoken....it would take me half a friggin day to lookup all the terms I would need to know just to ask the question properly in a textual format.What is it you need? You mentioned it a couple times, but no one knows.... Kinda confused here...
Yes but not so much a cache thing...more a local db thing...don't worry about it though...I don't want it done for me...I want to learn how to do it myself so I can continue with making more complex bbcodes and such...not just this one...besides if I am going to monopolize a developers time I am going to be doing it for a fee for something that I need created in order for me to start the site I have planned as without it...my planned site will have no purpose at all and therefor I wont really have a site...I will have what I have now...a bunch of domains and a crapload of dirs with pages of random code.I can only assume from what you've said it's some sort of caching mechanism so IMDB isn't contacted on every single page load for each BB Code?
Sooooo I went the API route (a crap load of them actually) and have the basics done at this point...just need to style it add the trailer player + the bonus feature (if I end up making that feature public) and release the bbocde for it.
Anyone interested in seeing it and making suggestions (noting that I have not done anything but the basic styling so I know where everything will be getting placed) please let me know. I would also entertain some ideas for buttons that this uses.
It is going to be offered with two possibly three options for layout of the data and I may also allow for some customization of the styling (colors borders and fonts and the likes). Any requests for this should be given now before I get too far ahead of myself.
Please don't ask to see it if you are not interested in providing feedback as to the overall look, if that be the case just be patient for a short while longer and then download the bbcode from the link which I will update this thread with when it is complete.
