THIS STINKS!!!

This forum is all messed up now. Its the fault of the good people at Voy and the good people at Voy only. They REMOVED multiple pages so now you have to load ALL the messages on one huge page. They didnt actually delete messages, I dont think...let me check...no, theyre still there, and they added an archive that will be filled with the oldest messages. So instead of letting one set the board up with, say, 50 messages a page, you have to do determine how many kilabytes (what the proverbial fuck?) of messages there should be in the one big page of messages, before the older messages get bumped into one of the many (up to ten) archives. ITS OUTRAGEOUS! It also leads to a MUCH longer load time to get the first message board page to load (or conversely I can set it to a low kb, but then a load of messages get bumped into the damn archive).

Id look for a new forum yet again, but free forums are going out with platform shoes and understated wit. Boardhost no longer accepts new free members, for example. Ahh...the dilemas. And that crappy Network54 or whatever has shut all their free boards down every other day or some stupid nonsense for ages. Fortunately, I have all the messages there thoughtfully archived on my hard drive. Sadly though, all the messages that were on the now defunct Coolboard are lost to the ages.

It is a pain loading this whole page though........Ill have to ponder the situation.
