Title: Apologies for switching forum software
Post by: phil (admin) on November 25, 2007, 02:53:22 PM
A special thanks to Frank Hagan over at sawmillcreek.org for suggesting I switch forum software from phpbb to SMF.  The phpbb software posed a number of challenges that the SMF software seems to alleviate.

I apologize to posters that will have to re-subscribe, but at least we'll have an easy way to upload pictures and graphs now, and new users will find signing-up a lot easier.

From the user side, SMF is almost the same as phpBB, but registration is easier and the maintenance of the forum is a LOT easier.

The version of phpbb that I was using needed updating anyhow.  Switching was a no-brainer.  Thanks again.

One of the links on your webpage apparently points to your old forum software URL. You might want to correct that.
