Dave, I believe "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", is often true. However, in this case it may not be totatly true.
A number of different changes all happened over the weekend. The backend setup was change, forums software was added, new forums were added, and a new look was implemented.
The backend was revamped for eaiser updates
The forum software was upgraded for more features and faster performance and to fix security holes.
New forums were added for the requests of many.
New look was added. This is very subjective if it is better, but the original look was implemented in '96 and had become a bit disjointed. Things are grouped together with the new formating. The html was also optimized more to load quicker than the previous version.
VwDieselRules, we are now well over 30 forums, this list is getting longer and longer. I've tried to group things in a logical manner. If you have better suggestions on the grouping, please let me know.
Also, please write your opinions here on how you feel the "today's active topics" should be sorted. By latest, or by forum?
Cheers,
Fred
