Okay guys... We have had the board running smooth for a month or so now. The server I am using obviously has some issues with lag and downtime. It's because its a free server. I wanted to get all the quarks worked out before I pay for premium hosting, which should be faster and more reliable.
All the posts and data is now transferable, so if I want to go with another type of message board, I could. This is the newest version of the SMF message board, which has great security features but the add-on modules created by users have had little development up until this point. It would give us more flexibility (image galleries, watermarks, etc) if we were to downgrade, but then a malicious hacker could possibly crash the board.
Anyways, just noticed no one has posted in 4 days. I am wondering what suggestions for improvements could be had to move forward?
Any advice, criticism, etc, would be greatly appreciated!!! I am done with some of my side web-developing projects that were taking up my time so now I have more time to dedicate to the boards..
Thanks guys!
