As you probably noticed, some boards/topics have been emptied. Fear not, the posts are not gone, but they have been moved/consolidated so boards encompass larger bits of history and are less-narrowly focused. My reasoning is that it will give more life to the forum and will make it look less “sterile” since we won't have boards dedicated to areas of history that are less popular here. Narrow topics which are popular here (e.g. Civil War) will retain their own boards in some fashion.I also plan on adding at least one off-topic board, and I may make some other changes (which I will announce if I implement them). Consider this my bold effort at reviving the forum.
Does anyone even read these news blurbs anymore? Not sure that they do. They may be superfluous.
news blurbs: I still look at it (even if I've long given up to find the "menu du jour") and I think it can be useful especially for visitors or new members
I generally use the YouTube generated embed code within the HTML tags and it works fine. An example is: (replace the parentheses in the html tag with square brackets)
I accept ca$h only! 😉Actually, I had an add-on to the forum installed and uninstalled a long time ago (probably before you joined). I just recently re-installed it, and the tables from the old database must have remained intact. I'm not sure I'll keep it installed, but I wanted to see if there were any features worth having.
