I thought I'd test a new post

I had seen the Voy-style forums. They are similar to what we had seen at the multi-city site. With these layouts I've noticed that heavy posting on one topic moves other topics off the page.

Perhaps it is only preference, but what I prefer about Ezboard's layout is that the topics maintain page position regardless of how many posts are made. If we had fifteen topics in "The Peleton" and the second topic got 50 replies, the remaining 14 topics still show. Here, they will scroll away.

An administrator could always remove a post. But here, a non-admin could effectively do the same merely by posting enough times to scroll that first post off the page.

This does, however seem much easier to work, although Ezboard seems, well... easy.
