Will be working on an upgrade to the discussion board over the next week or so. The primary reason is security so you will see little change in functionality. I lost one board a few weeks ago to a virus intrusion that came in over the net. Luckily it was just being developed and there were no posts (was a new board for work).
This is a major upgrade and it may come with a few bugs (settings etc) that will need some time to sort out. Will need your help is spotting the bugs. Thanks!
