There is a lot that prevents the forum from being very useful right now.

The functionality of the forum is ultimately going to determine the traffic that this forum experiences.

@VintageComics Very true

Let's keep in mind, this really isn't a standard forum, its more of a bulletin board.

At the moment. Perhaps the dev will consider switching to vbulletin or a BB style. I am sure PHP will not be compatible with the rest of the site format, but vbulletin should

I feel like my credentials have been short changed. My "join date" is 4-26-16, like just about everyone else. But in fact, I joined this site way before that.

I want my bona fides corrected. I know what is going to happen eventually. Ten years from now, there will be a thread whereupon so and so will state "I posted the first post on this forum", or "I sold the first book on this forum", or the infamous "I was a founding father of this forum".

I want my bragging rights. Respect my authoritie!

Were you on the Ebay Live Chat board back in the late 90s?

I've noticed that the emoticons or smileys that move (gifs) tend to be the ones that more often than not get compressed into smaller images when you link them to the forum.

Posted by SteveRicketts in another thread asking basically the same thing:

"Looking at the statistics on the boards, I can tell you that half of the people who access them are using a tablet or mobile device. This number will continue to increase.

Our board format is much more friendly for those types of devices. I never thought I'd browse this board on my phone. It has been my experience that other message boards are extremely frustrating to use on it. This forum is quite easy to use on a phone, with it losing almost no functionality."

I tried [ s] [/s] and found it "slashes" text, but [spoiler] [/spoiler] doesn't work.

I can always just remove large clusters of images when I quote someone (to help reduce page clutter), but I like the spoiler feature for the benefit of viewers who may not have seen the original quoted post.

So I guess I'm asking if we (or can we) have a spoiler function?
