Well, forum software is usually not super user friendly, askbot seemed quite more 2014 to me and it is much more clearly focused on asking and answering questions. With the views, the votes - I think it is nice. But it is also different and I don't want to shove it down your throat, please don't think that. Heck, somebody has to set it up, too, and that won't be me so there's nothing I can do other than talk ;-) > > Cheers, > Mark
