Lies!

I still can't change my avatar. It was amusing at first because of the whole John Henderson eats babies thing, but c'mon. It's becoming an eyesore. Stop exposing these people to my disturbing avatar you sadist.

We've been [b]able[/b] to embed YouTube videos for ages. It's against the code of conduct, though. Another example of the flaws in the board software - it can't be set to stop you doing all these things that aren't permitted by the ToS, so if you want to post hundreds of videos or add script that sets users up to have their passwords stolen (or, as in the example I used when reporting it, sends text spinning around the screen) then the mods have to deal with it retroactively. It's horrible.

About the only nice feature the software has is the ability to ignore signatures. :P

Fargin is right, no permission to see previous posts, I still haven't figured out posting images...

edit: I deleted the video, ahhh well

The board software [b]is[/b] a problem. It's insecure (I'm assuming nothing was done about the scripting vulnerability I reported ages ago...), feature-poor (including missing some features that were present in the previous version), and unreliable.[/quote]

Pen and paper might be better than this software.[/quote]Yea but can you start a board in real life to where we can post it since you thought of using pen& paper?[/quote]

Next time I'm at the stadium I'll stick a spiral notebook with a pen under the Jaguar statue. We can use that. :)

RE: Board Software Suggestion

If it were me as an Admin here, I'd be trying to get the place running back up to speed as the members would want, these members are paying/paid customers to the stadium and the Jaguars, when members aren't happy, they tend to leave and go elsewhere to statisfy themselves. (That is just a general rule and the truth.)

Yep, shouldn't take more than 6 months or so. Be patient; this is not a priority for our glorious administrators.

Why oh why can we not get some board software that actually works? vBulletin is used on a few other sites that I frequent, and has higher traffic numbers. So far I have yet to see any major down time and things "just work". Just the little things such as avatars, signatures, the ability to post images and the ability to embed videos from youtube, etc.

I compared the licensing fees, and it would actually cost less to use.
