··Steve @ ΩF............. Then everyone will be happy .......
If there is one thing I've learned in life, that's........Everyone is never, ever, happy.

On a cheering note, this project continues, improvements are ongoing, continue with suggestions 👍

·I ran a BBS for about 6 or 7 years, pre-internet. For the last few years I used Waffle. This might solve all your problems. The source is still available.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoKeep in mind this is a transition to what will eventually be the best forum software in the planet (and I'm not one for hyperbole!). Perhaps this latest change should be viewed as a way to have the forum members actively participate in shaping this upcoming software to be even better.

·I've waited a few days to say anything about the changes, since I believe you need to let things soak in a bit... where I come down on the new look and feel is.... I LOVE the changes, it took a day or two to get comfortable again, and the tweaks being made are all good. Great job to those involved in the upgrades.

·In fact the more I play with it, the more I believe that in the day, this would have been the best BBS software out there. Probably wouldn't have run that great on a 286 though. (Stab yourself with a fork if you don't know what a 286 is.) (Or is it just me who sees it? heh.)

·Remember those days? The 286 was the baddest chip around for about 3 years (which is equivalent to an entire dinosaur period in computer years!)

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerMy boss and I were both buying home computers a number of years ago...I got the 386, and he got the 286 saying that he would "never need anything more than a 286"! LOL! I never let him forget that...I think it had a 40 MB hard drive!
Also, talk of 286 and 386 is not dating that far back...now if you are talking Commodore PET with a cassette tape storage drive, or punch cards with Fortran on the mainframe - that was my very first program back in the day....this is when disk drives looked like a big food dehydrator...
And yes I remember thinking "What the hell is this windows thing people keep talking about that is coming soon....what do windows have to do with computers?"
