I'm working on the next version of the message board, which will be quite a bit different. Luckily, I'm getting better with Perl and such, so all of the messages currently in this forum will move to the new system.

Here are my current plans... if you don't like them, let me know.

* There will be 6 different sub-forums... General Dink Discussion, File Discussion (each file will have it's own mini-forum), Development, News Comments (the comments system will be merged with the board), Off-Topic, and the Fire Pit (where all of the 'bad' posts go).

* There might not be different board styles (like Default, Modern, Banana, Rabbit, etc), just because the 'Modern' one I'm working on now just looks 'right'.

* There will be 3 different ways to view the index (list of messages): Flat, Threaded, or Column-Threaded.

* There will be 3 different ways to view messages: Flat (ordered by date now), Indented (like flat, but indented like a thread), and Single.

Everything else will be pretty much the same... except the overall design will be much, much better.
