Among the many toys included with my webhosting package was the option of installing either a phpBB or SMF web board for my website (if I was really bored and masochistic, I could opt to install both). I opted for phpBB for the simple fact that it took up less disc space and there seemed to be more online documentation for it. So, now illusionofjoy.net has a web forum. It's pretty bare-bones at the moment and certainly not ready for prime time, but if anyone wants to register and play around on it, I'm letting you know it exists.
Also, I apologise in advance if any tinkering I do with the settings causes any posts you might make to be lost. But I doubt that will happen. Just saying that could...
If anything, you might log on to find the colours have gone funky. It seems the CSS file for the thing is quite lengthy and a bit convoluted, so getting the colour scheme to match the rest of my site will be a task.
