The thing I like about the forum is the visual confirmation upon registering that prevents spammers and the way old posts are stored forever for infinite access (at least that was the plan before the database table error! Argh! :mad: ). With the other kind of board, messages eventually scroll off the screen and disappear. But you're right. They are very good for quick, drive-by posting. :wink: And I'm always trying to find ways to get visitors to delurk. Toni,
It’s good to see you again!

There may be glitches, but I think they are easier to use and more likely to entice lurkers to comment. I love that style of message board.

No one could figure out what happened, so they used the words "crahs' and 'bug.' <sigh> Websites ARE a lot of work. And they also make you realize how paranoid you have to be abot backing things up too.</sigh> {{{Sylvia}}}I lost my forum last week too :sad:- my friend and I put so much work into starting it up, coming up with topics, etc. and we didn’t bother to back it up.
