Actually whilst we have the domain name, it may not be used at all. But what members will get is a page where they can set up buddy lists and chat across all our forums, you will be able to see if your friends are online/offline and have chatboxes between groups of friends, privately or in chat rooms you set up. This will all be done on web2.0 technology giving members their own personal pages, where they will be able to dynamically see things like the latest posts being made on not just their own forum, but on other forums. To this end you will be able to group together all your myff forum logins. I think this will be an exciting development _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

so effectively a forum cms(ish), with (sort of)social networking extensions? Sounds long winded and detailed on the work side. _________________ CALM TIME: When calm time is called, all posters in a topic must take time out to calm down. I'm better than Jose!

It will be a lot of work, and it will all have to be written from scratch. But I think the fact is that myff provides a forums system that is currently unsurpassed in doing everything you really need to do on a forum. There is nothing else to add that will make it significantly better. But chat and social networking are big areas that link very nicely in with forums. So it makes more sense to me to grasp the nettle and move us in that direction for those that want it, than any other idea currently suggested. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org
