Saint, some advice for the new board... *PLEASE* be judicious in what YABB posting features you allow. All the flashy schnazzy features can really become annoying..

I'm all about a nice compact avatar or something, but some of these BBSes become twenty pages of peoples' signatures with graphics, Flash stuff, etc. and no content...

The current WWWboard is kinda stone-age, but the other extreme makes things REALLY disgustingly tacky. I hope that YABB can disable a lot of the code things which people abuse and pollute BBSes with. For a bit of an example of what I mean, check the attached link... All the taglines and graphical sig's and crap really make a mess.

This crap really gets annoying.
