Well, here's the new look for the forum. It's quite different. In fact, it's no longer really a forum. It's more like a community blog. The main feature that's been added is that members have quite a bit more freedom in what they can post. There are smilies. Members can also upload images (as long as the images aren't too big... thumbnails would be preferable). Entries can also be assigned to categories (I need to go through all the old posts and do that manually). Oh, and soon members should also be able to edit their entries. Well, some members at least (that's going to have to be a privilege a member earns since somebody could wreak serious havoc if they decided to abuse that).
I've been meaning to upgrade the forum for a while, but when I looked around at the options I realized that I couldn't install new forum software without losing all of the existing posts. Since I didn't want to do that, I've decided to import all the existing posts into the software that I use to run my blog. Which is why the forum now looks like a blog. Anyone can add comments, but it's a bit harder for non-members to post topics. That's because the software really isn't designed to allow anyone except a member to post an entry.
The new forum definitely needs more work. But for now, at least, it's up and running (I hope). Comments? Worse/Better than before?

Okay, I managed to add a link back to the forum at the top of the 'publish' page. Doing so was harder than it sounds because I had to root around in weird php code (none of which I understand very well) to do it. |

Alright, is it just me or has Dusty taken a more prominent position on the Recent Updates page?
