After weeks of waiting for the web host, there is light at the end of the tunnel!
I was informed that by next week this site will be on the brand new server that should support the Message Forum software I have been looking at implementing.
The new software will replace this Message Board with a Forum-type system. There will be numerous Forum areas relating to different topics of discussion and will allow MANY options for the users as well as the administrators.
When I get it up and running it will also bring many new opportunities for some you "experts" out there (you know who you are). I can set up the system so that individuals can be assigned as forum moderators.
If you have expertise and the time to share some of it with your fellow enthusiasts, please feel free to send me e-mail to let me know of your willingness and interest to participate.
With an expanded system, I am going to need at least a few people to act as moderators just to lighten the time requirements as I expect that a better system will almost immediately improve traffic.
Additional help in this area will encourage people to post on the system instead of sending me individual e-mail messages and this will free up more of my time to get this site more fully populated!
This new forum messaging system is key to enabling all sorts of change and improvement for this system. It is amazing how quickly the user community outgrew this simple Message Board!
I will run the prototype for this new system seperately or in parallel to the current message base to check it out as well as configure and debug it. I will let everyone know how to get to it so we can give it a shakedown cruise prior to full-scale launching.
