This site is running the same software it did 20 years ago.
By popular demand.
A few attempts to change the website years ago did not go over well. Too many things got messed up. Many DEMANDED it be left alone. [Including me!]
If one wants fancy, there are plenty of other websites. Don't mess with what HAS worked for 20 years.
The only change that has been done that I really like is that in the ping list, MY posts show up in green and the ones to me are in what looks like purple. Regardless, they are not the same color and that makes it so much easier to find something.
That was an AWESOME change.
