I like this new board - here's to a successful future with it.

Glad you like. I spoke to Andy Howie and Douglas Bryson after the other forum was going really slowly and went offline for a few days, and we decided to host it on our own server instead. There are many advantages of doing it this way as it gives us much more control over it.
For instance: backing up and reinstating backups no longer costs us money. Modifying the appearance is now possible. Probably most interestingly though; is our ability to now integrate certain other things into the forum that were impossible before, because I can tie the database that the forum is housed on to the other databases with grading information and whatnot. It will take some time, but this is the first step in the process. =)
Oh, and now we have some really cool smileys too - which was a priority!
