We disagree on that. As far as the software goes, DU has the best layout and functions the best (overall) of any forum out there. Sure, there are problems on days with heavy traffic and sometimes there are errors, but most of the time, it works fine.

I'll be the first to admit that if I could "steal" the codes to tweak the DC Forum software to look and function like DU, I would do it in a heartbeat, to start my own animal/nature related forum. Otherwise, that idea is a no-go. Yes, I'm horrible for that, but I can't help it. I do love the look of this forum and the "fully threaded" format is hard to find without paying an arm and a leg for it. Even then, most of the "fully threaded" software out there looks like a jumbled mess. DU is very neat and very easy to read.

Then again, there may be lots of stuff going on behind the scenes (that I don't know about) to make it run smoothly. Still, you'll get no complaints from me when it comes to the DU software. To be honest, my friends get sick of hearing me talk about how much I like the look of DU, as the best looking fully threaded forum I've ever seen.

I was actually hoping you would offer a "Classic DU" layout preference for members when DU3 launches for those of us who have grown to love this current layout so much. I don't know if that will be possible though. If it is, please do. Pretty please.

As far as places that require you to use Internet Explorer, I just found one tonight on the Scoop Away web site. That is always such a huge PITA to me. My cats us Scoop Away and I used to love their plastic buckets because they are re-usable and easy to recycle for multiple purposes. The cardboard boxes? Not so much. I wanted to ask them to un-ass the cardboard crap boxes and go back to the plastic buckets. I typed my questions and all my personal information except my blood type (which they, thankfully, did not ask, although I was beginning to wonder) only to find there was no submit button on the page. I was using my regular Firefox (with Foxscape). I opened the same page in Internet Explorer and lo and behold, there was that missing submit button. I copied my questions and filled out all my personal information AGAIN and hit Submit. Success. Yes, that is annoying to the nth degree.
