"spell check"
 
   Does the Forum Manager foresee a future in which DCForum has a spell check or the option for posters to use one?

my apologies if this has been asked before,

Not that I know of. I don't see any indication of that capability in the latest DCF version, based on a quick scan of the features page at dcscripts.com. They've not done much development on DCF since the last upgrade here; we're running on version 6.23, and the current one at dcscripts is 6.25. My guess would be they're spending most of their development energy on DCForum+, but I haven't been keeping up with what's going on over there, so I really don't know.

   Yeah, I used to do hacking on DCF but then I kind of lost interest when I got my job a couple of years ago and was coding all day. And at the time I hadn't really worked with PHP, and DCF+ is PHP, DCF is Perl. DCF is basically just being bug fixed I believe, all the cool stuff is in DCF+.

But if we were to switch to something I'd probably go with something Open Sourve like phpBB - but it'd probably be impossible to move all the old articles over.

What he said. I have yet to see a phpBB forum that actually implements anything like nested threads - any replies go to the end, which plays havoc with context, as well as making it fundamentally incompatible with the current structure of the Eyrie forums.

Take a look at the www.evolutionwriters.com forums -- they're threaded, and work rather nicely, too.

I went looking at the forums you recommended, since I would like to be able to do threaded forums myself. While they have done an extremely cool thing with phpbb, there was also the following post from one of the site admins:

I forget where I found the mod. If you search around on the phpBB forums you can find it somewhere. It's a VERY big mod, and it's not maintained, and I've modified how it works quite a bit since then as well.

Really wish phpBB would integrate it themselves... but they're very anti-threading folk.
