Tech with a twist of lime! & FLHybrid Club.

The other surprise in store for you today is that we have forums again!  The vendor of our comment system, Azrul, is letting us use a one-time demo of their forums software.  This name of the software is My Talk, after much debate online and offline, I contacted Azrul to see what our options were.  Why Azrul?  I chose them because of all the various pieces of software we have on the site, the comment system is one of the best.  The new forum software is a little more lightweight than other forum software.

We needed lightweight forum software because, from my observations over the last three implementations of this site, 2002 through 2007, our readers have created few topics.  We were trying to be thorough when creating categories and failed, they were both too rigid and numerous, overwhelming new users, and confusing veterans including some moderators about where topics should be posted.  There just five categories this time around: hybrids, tech, environment, general, and support.  Part of the reason for having for having so many categories before, our front page comment system used the forum to hold comments, Azrul solved this for us what are previous comment engine developer let us down.

Posting is very simple login using your username and password, go into the forums using the menu, post any topic or reply to an existing one.  We will be upgrading to the final version in a few days hopefully.
