I'm following the development of the
XenForo forums - which the best VB developers are bringing out, with great interest. It's a lovely system with very attentive support frokm Kier and Mike - due out by end of this month I think.
XenForo has a Pages feature which does some of what your templates do. They provide a page with forum header and footer, user permissions integration and integration in forum hierarchy. I bet they were inspired by Logician.
What XF Pages doesn't do though is provide for bbcode editing. It's html.
While I can do that it's slower and my moderators c an't do it. So I do hope you're going to polish up XF Pages dear Logician to give us a bbcode editor on them with a nice mod.
