Yep - I know Walter has offered some screenies - and I can provide a few myself - although, like Walter, my own system is slightly modded. I would like to see a section on the Yoper website where some screenshots can be displayed. Not loads of them - maybe one or two nice shots of YIS, a desktop shot, maybe a shot with smart open... you know the sort of thing :) > > > Second - the link for reporting problems with the forum still points to > > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

As I mentioned, Marlon did look I think a while back, but the code was in IPB if I recall correctly rather than the actual forum. It is certainly something to do with IPB.
