Oh dear! What a surprise to see this old format board again. I remember that I had been on the verge of inquiring whether the format could be changed to something more up-to date when... lo and behold... it happened, and I was delighted. Of course it was easy for me to make the transition; I contribute occasionally to a few other boards (non tractor related) and they all use the 'ultimate bulletin board'. The disadvantages with this system are that interesting threads 'drop off' from the main page, and that spelling mistakes and other errors that fail to be spotted at the proof-reading stage remain for posterity. On the plus side, html can be used within posts for techies like me to play with, but that is not essential, and it is an option with UBB anyway. I like the way that live threads float to the top on UBB, and also appreciated the possibility to edit posts whenever; one spelling mistale always seems to slip through otherwise. To sum up though, Brian has it just right. The main thing is that the site exists. What makes this board so great are the people, not the technology. Many, Many thanks John-Paul PS. What a shame though, to loose that lovely picture of the ASP with its ITS hitch system...
