(re: This message board) “Just a suggestion, this message board should go to UBB format. Reading messages would be MUCH simpler than this molasses of a board as it is right now.”
What is it you like about UBB format?
I really find their system confusing and inconsistent – and, too complicated for the non-computer audience I’m going after.
Is there something in particular you’d like to be able to do, that you can’t do with this format?
Also… I don’t understand your comment about “molasses of a board” .. Where have you seen sluggishness? I’m using one of the fastest, and most reliable, hosting companies out there.

(re: re: This message board) UBB boards are much easier to navigate and much easier to read/post topics. This message board shows the most recent post up top, but that’s it….not organized in anyway. Too me that’s unnecessary clutter.
UBB boards here would be great. Users could browse forums by games…..King’s Quest, Space Quest, etc….all would have their own forum….and you can also have a General or Tech Talk included as well.
These are the kind of boards I’m talking about:Link: http://www.3si.org/portal/forums/index.php(http://www.3si.org/portal/forums/index.php)

All the above are neatly categorized and easy to navigate, especially older posts. UBB also offers a slew of functions as well that comes in handy (search, formatting, etc…)
Just a suggestion. -
(re: re: re: This message board) I won’t switch over … mostly because my goal for this board is to “tinker” with the software. It’s a hobby. Something to code. I enjoy coding.
I’ll give the UBB boards another look, as you suggest. Perhaps there are some good ideas there that I’ve missed… Search is already on the list to put here. I just haven’t had time to install it. Generally though, there are design decisions that they and I made differently. I wanted something that felt more like a website – and, they wanted something that felt more like a bulletin board. Also, I know the features that are going into this over the next six months. If I were stopping development now, the comparison would be much different than if you compare to what this site will look like in six months.
