I tried using this forum for quite a few times.
Here are what i found out:
1) If you post a message, it won't be updated unless you refresh the
link or you revisit the same link again
2) When you try to reply someone's question, you can't see the person's
message
3) Whenever you post a message, you need to enter your userid and
password
4) the view next newest or latest message doesn't work like you wanted it
to be. It is based on what you posted, not the order when you login to the
bbs
5) The smiley faces are nice to have but neccessary?
6) Pay license for a Forum? I can find some open-source forums and you
don't have to pay a cent. We can improve on it though. it's GPLed.
7) We can modify a forum to implement a slashdot-like forum.
Elvin, nice one.
my 2 cents.
