Kudos to the folk who pointed out a few problems and glitches in the layout, including a particularly glaring (but ultimately inconsequential) gaff with the Database search script.
With the fun bugs like that fixed, it's down to the hard, back breaking labor that makes every day worth living. Finding the process of scripting a new forum to be a wee bit over my head, I've returned to attacking the WebBBS script with a sharp instrument, and I hope to have a nicely hacked up version online today, or (realistically speaking) tomorrow. Stay tuned.
