Ok, I just noticed (very belatedly) that this post is in "new forum software". Does that imply that these changes aren't being suggested for the smf forum that we're currently using but for the proverbial new software that was going to be installed here two years ago? Similarly, does this mean that the myth of new forum software isn't actually dead?
I suppose these changes will be applied in the new forum software (because the thread is here). It will "no-sense" to add this feature on this forum (based on smf) because in a couple of months we will migrate to the new epochtalk forum software, so at the end it will be a "waste" of time.
So you seem pretty confident that this is actually going to happen. I guess I began to dismiss all such talk about 6 or 8 months ago when even then it seemed that the speaking of new forum software was already supposed to have happened some time ago. I recall a lot of drama about people who donated money to see it happen and they were sad/pissed off that we were still on smf.
