Forum format

[CAwasinNJ]

Since it was brought up, we might as well discuss it.

Do you like the format (meaning Proboards) of this board? Do you think a different type of software would be better?

Me? I like it. That's why I used it. That, and the familiarity with the layout. On the other hand, I'm trying to make the best user experience possible, so I'm open to any suggestions.

I like the new phpbb3

Just remember!!!

Proboards is the actual OWNER of any Proboard forum not the person that runs it

I think the content restriction is odd User's message board and Web site must be in English and another thing it's non-transferable so does that mean I still own it? Maybe I should call them and find out?

Satellite radio (meaning Sirius & XM) was always part of the National Radio board, but I think the wording might be a little unclear. I'll fix that and add Internet at the same time. I don't think either will rate enough posts to rate their own board, but I can split it off later if it shows more legs than I'm thinking.

HD Radio is a valid topic in a number of boards depending on exactl what the point of the discussion is. A Farnsworth station and their choice of HD2 or HD3 would best be put in the SLC/Ogden/Provo board. General discussions of the technology I think are best served in the National/International board. If it becomes popular we can split that out too.

Thanks for the ideas.
