Alas no, I have avoided EZBoard for awhile. The problem is I can't run any of those programs unless I upgrade to a dedicated server which will almost triple my operating costs which just isn't possible for me. I would prefer to have an indiginous forum but the MIVA based forum is having problems. It doesn't like simultaneous postings and that happens more and more as the popularity goes up. We will try the ezboard until Feb 28. At that time I will check the poll and if the poll says no to EZboard then we return to this style.
