> Skyscrapper City forums I wish they hadn't updated their forum software indeed. I share your opinion about it: very slow, lots of wasted, white space, and stuff which may or may not be displayed correctly depending on your browser; in a word: modern. As in other kinds of software, even traditional "*BB" pieces of software follow the fads: add tons of Javacript and heavily revamp interfaces to look trendy. So you can't trust the same piece of software on which you've been relying for decades not to become like that one day. If I am not mistaken, it used to be running vBulletin. Now it seems to be running Xenforo (which some posts in this thread seem to praise). The problem in SSC's case was that they had let the former piece of software and database rot (the former owner had lost interest/energy for some time, and then sold to a company which didn't do much about it for some more time), so there were frequent troubles, and that justified a big jump "forward". Luckily I have been banned from there enough times that I don't bother recreating accounts and write there any more, I just browse it 3 times a year nowadays. :-)
