    Don't know if you want to say it's actually missing, but the "form" @SRW provided for starting threads was incredibly handy. I found the best part about it was that it automatically created an abbreviated Source once the URL was copied and pasted into the form. Also, the poster's "Take" on the article was a nice touch in that it did force the poster to read the entire article thus "pre-moderating" for validity/quality of the news story.

    SRW Ex-World's Worst Site Admin

    I don't know if there are others, but the most popular modification to add that to a XenForo forum is this:

    http://xenforo.com/community/resources/simple-forms.289/

    It's not free. Paid modification will have better support though 9 times out of 10. This seems like it's been reputable. Of course, there could be other options including some that are free. But that's one I found quickly with a simple Google search for 'XenForo Forms'.

    There are a bunch more available here:

    http://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/add-ons.28/

    Some are free, some are paid, some are supported, some aren't. It's the roll of the dice you take when wanting to add features not included with the default forum software. Your choices are either to code the modification yourselves, pay someone to create the code or to find a modification and install it.

    @SRW - Are the fees associated with forum software add-ons a one-time fee or is it a monthly hit?

    It all depends on the modification the the author's terms. All the modifications are coded by people who are independent of Xenforo.

    outside of the people that bailed when the site "blacked out" - Im sure another handful bailed because they only stuck around for loyalty to SRW

    I know for sure it will pick up - I've got a big site upgrade that is in testing right now. should roll it out this week and it will push the team related news from FK into the forum - and get the writers more involved in our forum discussion because the mod ties the forum and blog together via comments and threads.

    We are not gentle to newcomers as a general rule...or, at any rate, we are gentle until they show their ass. It takes a special kind to stick. Right, @Diesel44?

    I would have thought since the embarrassment that was the dolphins last year that mj would have returned.

    Good news, @Kurt, about rolling FK team news here. Always been a huge proponent of team oriented stuff.

    My guess is SRW used the money to buy an island in the pacific, so Sweets can feel like at home, and retired with the rest of it. It's about the dream, boss!!
