So, for my final project for my web development module in college i had to make a small social network. Nothing big to it, but thought some people might like to have a look at it. It's built around bootstrap(which i have come to adore).

Some features include:

    - Make a Post
    - Edit/Remove Post
    - Add Friends
    - Search Friends by course
    - Comment on Friends Page
    - Edit/Remove Comment
    - Add Pictures
    - Change Settings
    - Etc


So, yea take a look:

That is extremely doubtful, but thank you for the comment nonetheless. The point of the project was to brush up and improve my PHP and MySQL skills. Particularly MySQL. I wanted get the data from the various tables as efficiently as possible.

I's looking pretty good, but I have some suggestions on improving the site:

1. Fix the 404 page - It has a redirect loop on it for me

2. If you add the "required" attribute to your form fields, it will notify users that there are fields not filled in, and they won't have to fill in their data again each time.

3. Make it so there is a minimum size for the whole page - resizing the window messes with the whole page layout and moves elements around.

4. Validate email addresses - When I signed up, I checked your email validation, and it let me enter a string that wasn't an email address. You should do this in PHP, but for something quicker, change the input type of the email field on the register form from "text" to "email"

5. The login button only displays the modal on the homepage. (Modal code is missing from all other pages)

6. Add some of your own styling on top of bootstrap for uniqueness - I feel that Bootstrap is very nice, but seeing so many sites with just Bootstrap get's repetitive and old - I think it's best to have some unique styles

That's all of the feedback I can give to you at the moment, and overall it's looking very nice. Hopefully future updates and tweaks will make it even better.

Indeed, i'm aware of most of these issues, and thanks for the feedback. But for the current project and the requirements it's sufficient. Perhaps in the future i might fix some of the bugs and add additional functionality to it.

Off topic, what's with all the staff members being demoted? And how come you guys never posted as staff..? Posting humanizes y'all

On topic;
- You can't login from the register page.
- FPD Vuln: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Making an error in registration causes all fields to blank
- During reg. not submitting an image results in a badly displayed error: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Impressive, MLP offered some great advice and I'll give some input if you like, but I doubt you want to take something like this serious.
