Change isn't necessarily for the bad so maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a look at what you've got lined up for us. ?At least it shows that the forum isn't stagnant and you're always looking to improve it. ?

The search facility does have its problems, but I think some of that could be to do with it not going back further than 2005 and picking up some of the older posts. ?Some stuff was lost after the hacking/move to the new forum, so we can't blame the search facility for that. ?It's better than some others in that you can look up individual words and also phrases, which is good.
If the new forum could lend itself to showing members' locations, too, it would be helpful, as it's difficult trying to assist someone when you don't know which country they are posting from and such information given varies from country to country.
I, for one, would be interested to see what you have in mind by way of a new forum, BUT PLEASE COULD YOU ENSURE THAT THE FORMAT IS COMPATIBLE THIS TIME as I really don't think I could stand up to another battering with having to edit and amend all the corrupted tagging again ?
