Hi everyone,

Our company plans to redesign the forum. we currently stores all posts in text files. someone suggest that we can use xml. I am not familiar with using xml. Is XML better for the forum design and data retriving?

Thanks in advance

No

Why don't you go download some of the open source forums and see how they do things.

Can you not use one of the many readily available ones?

This one (Snitz) is free ... as are many others.
