Copy And Paste Code
 

You shouldn't use/copy ;) the methods from one class to an other.


For example:
Quote:
- D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\vb404\includes\class_picture comment.php:282-353
D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\vb404\includes\class_visitor message.php:302-373

- D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\vb404\includes\class_picture comment.php:356-377
D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\vb404\includes\class_visitor message.php:377-398

- D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\vb404\includes\class_picture comment.php:397-423
D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\vb404\includes\class_visitor message.php:418-444

Why not provide a abstract class "comment/message" which provides this methods?

This would provide a much cleaner, easier to manage code.
I've run an c&p detection tool on vB404 code and found

OK It's not much, but you could save IMO very LOC (lines of code) ;)
