Group: Forum Members Posts: 274, Visits: 2.5K	Hi, I'm not sure what it is, but the software used by the Flyer Forums is pretty much spot on as far as I'm concerned. Ticks all the boxes regarding threads being marked as read, and being able to go to the first unread post in any thread. A‌ndy ‌‌‌

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8.1K, Visits: 9.4K	I'd be willing to pay some forum guru to set up a new forum, using industry-standard software and on paid-for hosting. I'd be willing to pay them to take a database backup of this forum (which I have) and extract sufficient data from it to pre-populate the new forum with all the posts and attachments from this one. I would have no idea where to find such a person, though, and as you might imagine, it's almost at the bottom of the long list of priorities we have here at SkyDemon.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 626, Visits: 15K	+x Tim Dawson - 6/14/2017 3:25:10 PM Were you hoping that by posting this thread it would magically enable us to fix long-standing issues which are already the subject of another thread? I believe I have made it clear on the other thread that we cannot do anything about this forum. If enough people complain about it, I will shut it down. End o‌f story. That is my only option left at the moment.‌ If it annoys you too much, simply don't come here any more. It annoys me too. Tim P‌lease don't shut down the forum! In spite of all the long standing issues, which I know are beyond your control, I am prepared to put up with them if it means retaining this rich source of‌ information, user feedback, mutual help etc. I think it's an integral part of SD's rainson d'etre and it would be greatly missed if closed.
