Well, I have found recently, these forums and becoming neglected on its progress. And with Messenger Plus! Live on its way, it will need updating. So, what are you admins planning for these forums. I know I have my own improvments

• Upgrade MyBB version (it is much safter and because of the new mod system, it should make no difference when updates are out)
  
• New design (Messenger Plus! Live is no longer blue, however, I think it can stay, logo needs changing mind you)
  
• Sticky threads need serious cleaning. I mean we cant have threads about modifing plugins, when they no longer exsit. Also the sposnor thread needs updating etc.

Yer those 3 ideas are good, also maybe change the style of the forum to match the new plus live style?

The forum upgrade has been discussed many times, and I think WDZ is testing it on and off in another place, and trying to move stuff over. But he has coded this forum a lot, and it's probably very personal to him to be honest .. As he's put a lot into it (his own spare time)

I'm sure the new design will be done once Messenger Plus! Live is actually out.

Same as above about the threads, chances are it will stay open for a while, as Messenger Plus! still has a version for 7.5, and chances are people will be using that for months after MP!L has been released.

I think as soon as MSN Messenger says an new version is advaliable, people wont be after Messenger Plus! 3.6. Still some sticky threads are really old now, and some contain old information, they need updating etc. If not deleting

I'd assume the forum would be redesigned to match the design of the new site... and we don't know what that will be yet

No but some of the old  ones need to be kept because what about those people who have 98 and cant get windows live? Then they might still need help on the old msg plus.
So i say only keep the ones thatare important!

lol I am not talking about this moment. But from what we can expect, Windows Live Messenger will be out in the next couple of weeks, and Messenger Plus! Live soon after.

So admins need to think what they are going to do. And alot of the changes are simple enough. However, the MyBB upgrade is a major issue. But if you upgrading alot of things you may as well upgrade the board, mainly for sercuity and bug fixes pruposes. Viewing these forums in IE can mess up alot of the time.

well i was hoping that a new forum will be created on msgpluslive.net so msghelplive.net or something

I think mods and admins have a great professional approach to handling threads. But it seems the forum code is being negelected. It is not just WDZ, although he is the main coder. (He probaly is working on a secret version, but I would like some more news on it)

Yer the last update he gave us was about 4 months ago

And the problem here is?

The forum is working properly at the moment and there are no problems.

We know what we're going to do and we'll get it done. There is no need to have all of these posts regarding this.
