Also apologies for shutting down the board for a couple of hours during the upgrade. Steve

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I did some clean up with the forum, and I hope it fixes the problems. Please let me know if you continue to experience any problems. Note, I will be traveling this Thursday - Sunday. I will have internet access, but Billikens.com may not be a focus.

This message board is just so fancy!

If you click the little orange/white square to the left of the post title, it will take you to your last unread post. This feature is immensely handy in our post-threaded era.

There will likely be a version of the "threaded" view, but it will not be like the past versions of the board going back to Billikenboard. The flat (or view all) view will become likely become the default. Unless someone can find some good threaded software out there, I think we just have to bite the bullet and upgrade to get those sorts of new features.

The script we are using now is over five years old...How much software are you guys using that is five years old out there? I am most attracted to Invision Power Board. It is my favorite of the mainstream softwares out there, and it has some nice moderation features that definitely would have been handy in the past year. No purchases have been made yet, but an upgrade will be happening. Any input is appreciated.

I actually love tigerboard's script. We may actually be migrating to a View all only version of the board... :-|

In breaking my own rule...drupal sort of sucks

But people come here to read about Billiken basketball...I have allowed the Friday cheerleading thread, but there are plenty of other forums around for other stuff.

I like the two images I have. I could put little standing Billikens on each side of the For the Fans, by the Fans. Or change the dot in Billikens dot com to a little billiken head. Other idears.

First real production is happening on the redesign. Here is the likely new titlebanner. I am not the greatest at Photoshop, but it isn't that bad. http://www.billikens.com/images/redesign/draft4.jpg I hope BlueCrewPrez doesn't mind.

I will implement measures to prevent this, i.e. have both boards run for a few months so people can prove they are who they are

I don't have the exact numbers, but I don't know if it is quite 40. And just as a warning to everyone. By July 1, I am hoping to have new forum software online. My redesign/reworking has not gone as fast as I hoped, but with the new forum software. Everyone will be forced to re-register. Steve
