So am I, you wont' see a break tag or hr in any of my sites anymore:)
but that's not what I mean - example we tried it with
codingforums.com, but the sheer size of traffic, vanilla wouldn't
hold up to it, there's just too much information. Not saying RC will
get there but it's a nice thought.

Really? I don't doubt you but the whole point of Ajax is to
introduce more separation between presentation and logic. Maybe this is just me,
but I've never seen a phpbb forum that I could call quick.I'm probably caught up in semantics, but I think its a shame a
slick Web 2.0 product like RC doesn't utilise an efficient, Ajax-based BB as well.My 2 cents,

By more powerful, I don't mean in regards to features -- I've just
seen phpBB handle a heavier amount of users much more easily than Vanilla.Geoffrey McCaleb wrote:
Hmm, not sure I would agree with that. PHPbb can't handle saved
searches,and
doesn't support RSS if I remember correctly.

I will say that phpBB is much more powerful -- Vanilla couldn't
handle some of the advanced stuff that high end forums do, but porting
over a style... I don't know if that would be easy. You might find it
faster to just create the CSS to mimic the style of his look/feel.Geoffrey McCaleb wrote:
Yeah, Vanilla seriously cooks with gas. You can have RSS out
the wazoo,clean
xhtml code, and each user can have their own stylesheet!
Brett was mentioning he was in the process of building a
template forphpbb. I
wonder if it could be ported over easily?
