WEBSITE ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear whoever takes over,
Please can we upgrade the forum software?
-
Im sorry to 'ear that guvner Its gonna be really lame without our glorious forum leader. Any ideas on who to pass it on to?
Why don't we take a vote? The moderators and other sheer intellectuals who have the time, and leadership to take this position will be entered: HStorm, Drassil, Malefact and so forth...

There're plenty of ways to make a site easier to manage, like perhaps migration to content management software like E107 (Which I use for my site) Once the thing is set up then it's easy to add/modify content, plus the software has various apps that can be added, like an integrated phpbb forum and other tasty plugins.

I don't mind hosting, or even porting the whole thing a content management system. I'd gladly do it just to get away from this forum software!
But I don't have the time to keep it updated. Potentially, I suppose, if it were on a CMS then the whole thing could be self propagating anyway and wouldn't need a single head-figure to manage the entire thing.

The idea of volunteers/helpers was suggested a while ago, here. It's already happening to an extent, in fact, with Jake now handling The Eye Shield uploads himself.

For the benefit of those of us who aren't unsatisfied with the forum software, please could you explain what bothers you about it?

No single thing.
Personally I find it rather clunky. I can never make it find postings I'm looking for, replies to messages that I've written, and it seems to constantly log me out no matter what I'm doing
Just a taste thing really.

Hi all,
I am still around . Thanks for the above feedback. There hasn't been much interests from individuals wanting responsibility for the whole website, but some interest from people offering to do bits here and there.
I'm still thinking about the options and will get back to anyone who's contacted me about this soon.

Agreed. The search function is un-good and no matter how many times I click "always keep me logged in"........ it never keeps me logged in. I'm not ungrateful though, I'm just saying I know what you mean!
I remember when I first joined this forum around 1999/2000, it was a much better software. Though maybe I'm looking back through rose coloured glasses.

It works for me, but uses cookies (there's probably no other way it could work), so if you use a different computer or delete your cookies (how irritatingly American that word sounds!) it'll lose the login.
