[My apologies for the previous message attempt - obviously the list server doesn't handle html at all, and I could have checked for that first. Sorry for the block of base64!] G'day everyone, As you may be aware, there are a number of significant problems with the FPC community site. For new users, it's a bit of a minefield, and isn't a really good introduction to the wonderful FPC community. I'd like to offer my support and assistance in cleaning up the pages, fixing links and server errors, and generally helping to bring the site (possibly kicking and screaming! :) up to scratch.
Hi!I'm fully aware of limitations, and happy to take take help, but please understand I am skeptical to plans like "let's install PhpBB" and those are not fundamental plans.
The FPC community predates most forums on the internet and if I'm right the first messages date from 1999. It maintains full backward compatibility (even old URL's of the previous generation software) still work, scales well and is resonably hacker proof.
So work has to be either on improving the current system, or a proper thought out plan to replace it with another well working system that can last again for well over a decade.
