Kim,
Firstly, so I don't get completely attacked for this. I love this forum, it has loads of friendly people, lots of great advice and brilliant for general boaty chatting...... BUT
It needs to be updated mate. You have a huge amount of support from your user community, loads of people register here all the time, surely it is about time we moved forward a bit more.
Can you not look into phpBB 2.0.6c? I know this is a lot of work on your part, but I really think it is worth doing.
Another forum I use updated recently, it is quicker and much easier to use, no more markups, just cut and paste URL's in to your post job done. To insert an image, click the button, point it to the url, job done.
You can go back and edit posts very quickly and easily, there are no time limits on editing and the uploads on all other forums I have been on are far quicker with php. I have tested posting on here at busy and quiet times and it is slow in comparison.
I feel this would improve performance and be more user friendly, which may attract even more people to register
I know you work very hard on this and I don't want you to think I am putting your efforts down, I just feel it is worth investigating and seriously considering doing.
