Why is the forum so bad?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Honestly this is one of the worst forums I have ever seen. I cannot see my post in the list of topics under this category. When you look at the most recent post in the overview it is then not on the list of topics when you select that category. Maybe this should be updated to a modern forum software like phpBB?

	It's not on the top-middle of the page, it's at the very mid-bottom of the main page. I think it's the design fault of web.

	Under Forum Topics? I see posts from 2018 and earlier there but not my posts from yesterday.

	If the only way to find a topic is by "recent activity" there is a serious problem.

	lol, yeah, I am not a fan of the forum code either but by the time I suggested phpBB, which I am much more familiar with both administering and using, there were already too many posts and users on the forums and there is no way to migrate from this forum system to phpBB so we are stuck with it. I really need to unsticky a bunch of posts that are no longer current/relevant. I will be looking into that over the next few weeks. That is why you see "old posts" before recent ones. I think it's safe to say most people don't need a sticky on posting pictures anymore.

	Convert the DB to Mysql and import to phpBB or just rip the band aid off and do from scratch. The copyright 2016 at the bottom of the site scares me.... looks like most people jumped off the web wiz bandwagon back in '07.
