I used to have a problem of the site not remembering my info, and I would get just as upset.
I moved to Firefox from IE and since then it has been there every time.
I had to move to Firefox because it was not playing nice with my AV but I am glad I did.

I agree. IE has become an ugly hairy behemoth.

The last time I had trouble with this I flew into a rage and killed my neighbour's dog.
Afterwards, feeling a terrible remorse, I stuffed it with Stove Top and prepared a lovely
puppyroast. This is indeed terrible. Anybody else have this kind of reaction?
Maybe I should up my steroid intake? Stop reading the newspapers?
You know that you are much more likely to be killed by a policeman than a terrorist?
Even in Afghanistan. But that is only me thinking.

The forum does need a complete rewrite. It is on the long to do list... which is why we are recruiting more web developers. 2 isn't enough. Most of the time currently is keeping everything running and very little time left over to move anything forwards.

Does this mean you are getting another donkey with a bigger carrot on roller skates? [:D]

All of the above, though we are considering upgrading from Donkey to Mule.

Iain - if and when you do, can you keep the basic layout? Many other forums I've seen are dark, non-user friendly and set out badly. Matrix may not have the most up to date forum but its user friendly [:)].

I put these forums up there with the old GC forum on Stardock, very friendly and some really good folk on here, would be right at the top bar a few individuals on here who shall go nameless.

The system here was created about 10 years ago and is almost completely custom. What I'm imagining is we would move to a more ff the shelf system like PHPBB, though not that as its a Windows server
See the Slitherine forum for the kind of thing I'm I would expect. Basically the same just with modern features and support.
