different....better? message boards

[TheArtfulDodger]

have BGAFD thought about moving to a different type of message board? something like invision or phpBB. there a lot more user friendlier, have a lot of better features and is a lot more secure.

[woodgnome]

no.

[TheArtfulDodger]

well thanks for that well explained reply. any chance you could elaborated on that 'NO'....................ah wait, your going to reply again saying 'NO' aren't you

[woodgnome]

yes. or should that be no?

[Lizard]

Nice one woody! master of the understatement.......

[php]

Because the other types of boards display all the messages when you click on the link they will use more bandwith, and thus increase server costs. I think.

[php]

How do you set it to 'flat view' so I can see all messages in a thread?

[woodgnome]

just below this message you should see a link: 'Flat View'. click it.

fwiw, my preference is to have the main page in 'collapse threads' mode and the posts page set to 'threaded view'.
