Do you use Wordpress to maintain your sites by any chance? Their website says their forum software is fully compatible with the extensive library of plugins. I've seen some pretty impressive features on Wordpress sites.

I've looked at bbpress, but it was last spring - WordPress is much friendlier from an updating perspective and maintenance perspective too. I am not sure if bbpress is as function as phpbb yet - I will have to check it again.

Do you have experience with it?

Just as a user. One of my favorite sites has a cool rating system, though he's still having a few problems with it. I also like the map that shows where the visitors are coming from. I know those are both WordPress plugins because Jonco mentioned it. I got curious with you guys discussing a possible update and checked what's out there, saw that bbPress was made by WordPress and that the plugin's were functional. Here's the bbPress forum, powered by bbPress, if you want to take a gander. Maybe the folks there can fill you in on the possibilities?

Poor Fall Fanatic, we've taken over his thread with geek talk. Sorry FF, it is off season after all.

Yes, we have diverted this thread a bit, hopefully he doesn't mind and feels welcome to join in.

I'll re-check bbpress and am looking at your favorite sites.

Now is certainly the time to do any changes vs August through November.

Nerds, is there nothing they can't do?

FF; This is about as bad as it gets, so if you can handle it, welcome.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

I almost posted the same thing...

Just a question for you Nevermore. You clearly have some knowledge of computers and technology. Is that just from experience working with gadgets, training or A+?

Completely self-taught. It's a hobby, though I expect to eventually find a way to make a living off it. Just have to find something that interests me enough. Am currently intrigued by 3-D printing so trying to learn 3-D CAD in my spare time.
