This forum is horrible to use, i have to write every message twice, as it always complains about things that aren't there (email addresses) :(
Even using the red emoticon with the teeth triggered it, and i had to write a new post as simply changing it won't enable the OK button again.

Just wanted to express my anger about this 14 year old abomination of a software.

It has been mentioned to Iain. It looks like we are stuck with it, unfortunately.

Those interested in discussion forum software might like to look at the following:

Discourse
Vanilla Forums (community edition)
SMF (Simple Machines Forum)

I don't know which other ones people like.

I have never had any issues like Hardcoder describes, but not being able to delete posts you wrote is pretty archaic.

Replacing the forum software is on the wish list but this site is so big and complex with some many legacy systems its a major job changing anything so all progress is slow. We are getting there though!
