I said the forum has its own page Tim..
Forum to its own page (With a header ect...)or just link to diary section
.not that it matters.
The Forum was , is and will always be an afterthought. Dumping it to a simple link vice a side bar will finally recognize its status in the big scheme of all things TYT plus unclutter the front page. The feature column could host guest writers and selected blogs that are significant.
The real issue is the continued use of scoophost. It is not being supported by developers as open license software, probably because not enough major outlets use it. In time TYT will be forced to move to an engine that supports newer web technology.
AS time goes on the workarounds to get new features to work will break...and fixes will cost as much as going to a new platform...what then?
