This site is using phpBB which is free open source bulletin board software (see link at the very bottom of the page)

Unless a feature or change can be enabled/disabled using an existing setting within phpBB then its unlikely to make it on here.

Upgrades/enhancements can always cause bugs, even in "completely unrelated, couldn't possibly be affected by this teensy little change" functions of the software. I've encountered my fair share of those.

Stability has value.

(Too much can be perceived as staleness, but where you want to be on that tradeoff is a personal choice.)

I'm just grateful that our hosts sponsor this pretty good site and let us use it, ad free.

I've been reading this site for a few months now and, at first, thought it a great place for information, help and advice and I've received all three. But while the information may be here, after reading several of these types of responses, I was VERY judicious in what I asked and, to tell the truth, I'd be hard pressed to ask for help in the future. For instance, how would anyone know that this site is stagnant as far as modifications/improvements are concerned? There was no reason for Sireneh to be addressed so harshly.

This OSA thing is a difficult thing to get used to. It might be a good reminder to recall what it was like when you first came to this place. We're tired. We're scared. We're getting used to our equipment and speaking this new language. We newcomers aren't running on all cylinders yet and certainly can't know what's in the mind of the administrators of this board.

Didn't you say in your previous post in answer to Sireneh's question about a potential change to the board, "One wouldn't, instead they would start their own site, and ,make it any way they want. this site doesn't need changes, it just needs people that can read the info provided and people willing to share what they have learned freely. Jim"

Then you wrote in answer to mairtin's post:

The site doesn't need to be changed, just the people that think cutesy, is better than facts, when they need help. I help as I can, I don't click on iconnies to take my browser to another site to find out what may or may not be the equiptment people are using, i move to the next post where I may be able to help. Jim

We try to get everyone to list their equiptment, for that very reason. People that are trying to help you need to know what equiptment you are using. a picture may be cutsie, but it doesn't really show what you are using, many things look alike, and even some that do show equiptment don't know what equiptment they are really using. so instead of a mouseover, please ban "ICONNY" in the first place. Jim

By requesting a ban on "ICONNY," isn't your post also a request for a change to the site?

Uhm. Double standard?

I say why bother?
