Re: New "enhanced" forums



John, 'enhanced' insofar as they have additional features beyond those that were in place before. They can be tailored to an extent and we have got some other features in place that were necessary.

If I over-gilded the lily, then apologies but watch the length of your bow before telling me you've never done the same!

In terms of which software or code we use, yes, we know there are a plethora of scripts out there and we have people here who can write their own. Take on board though that the feedback from many users was that the forums here were like an old pair of deck shoes; comfortably familiar even if past their former glory.

We can showboat any amount of new technology but it is rarely trouble-free on implementation; indeed I seem to have spent most of my first six months on ybw throwing possible new solutions for various things out of the door. Given the range of sites here at ybw we've got quite a few priorities at any one time and forums weren't the only thing we had to tackle in the past 10 days.

We are already looking towards the next move (and you won't have to wait a year for it), but I expect we'll upset as many people as we please when we do so, such is the familiarity and enthusiasm that many people have for these areas.
