In Response To: Announce: New BBS Script (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

: You will notice the new version does not use frames. I hope you
: don't mind as there is no choice.

I had to set a bookmark to get a version which didn't do that - I prefer to
have the list of posts in one window and open any that I want to read in a
new window, so from that point of view I prefer the new version.

But boy, is it ugly !! All the little icons are indistinguishable...
And why has "Post response" changed to "Reply" ? That sounds like a
reply-direct-to-author, rather than a post-to-list. If it wasn't broken, why
fix it ? (This is not aimed at you, Nick - sounds like you had to take what
was now available...).

Profiles vanished, and where is "Top ten" ? Will it come back at some time, and
if so, will it count all the posts people have made over the years ? Upgrades
are all very well, but continuity and backwards compatibility are important.

Is there a way to make people's old profiles available for a while so that they
can use them as a basis for new ones ? I'm afraid this was a blind spot and I
don't have a backup :-( I'm sure I'm happy to bring it up to date, but I'd like
to start from what I already had !
