Before I start the demo, what exactly am I looking for in it? I don't know. How well we can structure things, any visual layout things we can do, maybe any admin tools and settings we would need/not want? And if, on an overall basis, you think we can make it work and look good.

Warnings is interesting. Adjustable, 90 days default. Basically a member is warned, they are marked for however long we have the setting on. I dig that.

I only see one board style "Prosilver" in the settings, and doesn't look customizable...but that could only be in the demo version. They might not let us change that in the demo.

I can add new forum posts, but as far as editing/customizing in this demo goes, I'm hitting a brick wall. I even added a new forum outside of the default one they start with, and it's not appearing on the main page.

I has the same issue but was unsure I was doing it right. Limits of the demo, perhaps?
It looked to me like there were parent and child functionality to create sub categories and sub boards.
Warnings is clever. I liked the varied views available too.

Think I'm just going in circles now. I feel like the demo is just really really limited.

If you guys need inspiration, just remember I am nearly retarded and managed to do a lot of this shit for years. Stay patient and things will start to unveil themselves for you.

I think we can make phpBB work for us.
Now for the hosting. Anyone else looked at others?

As long as we can actually customize the colors n shit, it seems good. I only had the one option to play with.
