Or does PaulH already have a different piece of software in mind?

Well, if he does, he should look into the UBB software. definitely the most user-friendly bulletin board I've used. It has a few features missing from this one, but there's alot of stuff they have covered that I wish this had.

By the way. After I post a message, is there a way to go back to the forum I was in before? Like if when I post a reply to a thread in the general forum, it then takes me back to the thread. Is there any way to get back to the general forum without going to the Forum Index first? Thanks
