[Super Duty John]

Jason, is there profile and e-mail icons for everybody? Things of that nature or, will it look just like that except Ford-Diesel.com yellow and white?

[Big K]

Jason,
The status quo is great.
After reading about the new features, I'm becoming wary. You know, "Oh stuff, they're killing Santa Klaus".

Hey, we have faith in you, do what ya gotta do!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

[JLester]

John,

You click on a user's name to see the profile, private messages, etc.

Yardbrew,

I'm not doing it for more features, I'm doing it because I'm afraid UBB will crash and burn on us at some point in the near future.

That's what we love about you and the site Jason....you are always looking out for the future. [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Is there a chance to add a Yawning graemlin [img]images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] , we could name him bored [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

What Jason plans will be great for the site. The current UBB version uses flat text files and Perl. Very slow and cumbersome. The new UBB Threads uses PHP and the MySQL database. This will be a much better solution for a site of this size than the current UBB. I know that doesn't mean much unless you are a web or database programmer, but it is a very important move. Just sit back and watch, it will be worth the downtime.

Jason,
If changing the forum format makes it easier for you or any of the moderators/administrators, I'm all for it. I can't even try to calculate how valuable the information I've gotten from this site is and I thank you for all your work.

You know Jason, if you use Oracle, and your site isn't at least three times faster than with your old database, then Larry Ellison will give you a million bucks [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Downtime [img]images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

Now.... no body said anything about any downtime [img]graemlins/phoney.gif[/img]

[pilldoc]

Okay, okay, I just re-read Jasons thread.......but make it quick. I'm trying to catch up to Smokey before the end of the year.

I gotta admit, I like this format.
I'll admit I'm a not up on fee's and speed of sortware so, if it's good for the site, I'm in.
