Hi Person of Interest and or another administrator, You should truly enable an interactive shoutbox for users to talk among themselves. I see no reason to have two links when ProBoards could easily do that job of both. ProBoards has a internal settings for a shoutbox. Link: http://http://icefilms.freeforums.net/admin/settings/forum/shoutbox The following settings should be fine: -- You may also wish to have a feature to disable the shoutbox for users whom don't wish to be social. You may do this with the following plugin. Link: www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/436Image:

You realize this is a temopary thing, right? We could be back up at any given second of any given time. Yes, this is taking longer than expected. But.. Dressing this forum in bells and whistles does not make sense. If we are up tomorrow, it would have been a waste of time to glamorize this forum. No matter what the time-frame, it would be a waste of time as this forum will eventually be defunct, hopefully sooner than later. This forum was put into place to let people know we are not gone, are coming back, and answer what questions we can. That is it's sole purpose. It might be bland, but at least it is more than a splash page.

It isn't requiring many clicks- nor any programmable code (You have good coders, very good). I figure why not, ten clicks for users to chat among themselves? Doesn't seem like a bad idea, but- you're right. This forum is likely to be deleted tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong, I have no objections to sprucing things up around here. I just think it might be a waste of time. I do not have the ability to set those level of changes. If I did, I admit, I might consider making changes the longer we sit and wait. Maybe an admin sees this thread and decides to tinker. Who knows?
