@chris Boy, THAT brought back some memories! Well, I am not looking to make it look like the old 80 col screens (haha) but operationally like that. Forums, chatting, profiles and the like.

I have been looking hard at myBBS with the Zingiri interface, seems to be what I want, if I can figure out the screen layouts. I am NOT a coder, darnit!

Thanks for the info. I really didn’t like the “look” of bbpress, so I passed on that one. The Zingiri one seems to be an interface into myBBS, and it seems to have everything I want – but damn complicated. sigh! I wish WILDCAT! was available as a WP plug-in!

As for the previous message, the mod could have simply removed the “offending” section and cracked a ruler over my knuckles (private school) and left the balance. But taking the ENTIRE message down showed me that they were more interested in being heavy handed instead of offering help and suggestions.

That being said, THANK YOU for your comments and suggestions! Will look at bbPress again.

Thank you both, the info you have given has been very helpful! I am heading up to Barnes & Noble to try and find a book to really help me learn WP; I have the Sams 10 minute book, but I am still mystified; hopefully, I will find something better today.

Thanks again for the links and plug-in suggestions!

And just for the record, LONG LIVE WILDCAT! BBS (hehehe)

Tim:
I am curious, did you find a suitable plug in? Also, I would love to take a look at your site; I am hoping to rework our club site now (its using Droopal) using WP, and I am trying to see what works and what doesn’t, especially in terms of plugins…

Thanks for your time!
Tom
