There are lots of tools and frameworks to make great forums, for not that much money and effort.
You're preaching to the choir Mr.Fakename. We are exquisitely aware of the issues. The point being, as Camille says, neither she, Roberta, nor I are owners of Orchid Board. We exist to keep it open and moderated, and that's the extent of our "superpowers." Does it make us feel bad? Sure, but not much we can do about it other than what has already been attempted. Hell, I have to adjust my firewall just to use this site.

At this point I'm happy OrchidBoard still exists and hasn't totally collapsed. So far, its main purpose of asking and sharing information still works. At least there is that.

I'm in the using a PC with a real keyboard when possible. I'm horrible with an iPad, notebook, or laptop with the little rectangular screen. Use my iPhone (a small dated version) to "check in" a lot doing the moderator thang, but that's about it phone-wise.

Being fairly new here i have to say that, with what you have to work with, you ladies are doing a bang up job. Just out of curiosity, is the owner still reachable?

If I urgently need help with something on the forum, yes, I have a way to reach him outside of OrchidBoard. He has helped me a few times with some things, and he appreciates our work to keep this site afloat.
