September 8, 2008 You tell me - better forum?
I’d apreciate you feedback on a better, more robust forum with RSS feeds and e-mail notifications - like this one.or this one. It will cost me several dollars a month to have it hosted but I’d be happy to provide it if the OBOW’ers would enjoy the upgrade. We’re currently limited by the the very simple forum that Squarespace provides.

To me, the second one (websitetoolbox) is more elegant and easier to read. But either works.
Brad,
Either works; the current one isn't bad, either.
However I've noticed since your switch-over, that the main site comments RSS feed seems to work only intermittently. I'm not sure if it is squarespace or Yahoo; I've re-loaded the RSS feed several times with no consistent result.
Another feature that would be helpful in the forum would be ordering the entries by the latest comment/entry date (i.e., entry with the most current comment is on top) to make it easier to keep up on the conversations.
Thanks again for a great site, Brad- I've learned a lot since I started visiting, and appreciate your work!
Vic
Looks like both have RSS, search and a new posts function. Thanks for considering this.
