It's a little sad that you've made that decision when by all accounts the transition isn't even complete yet.
Well, I'm not certain I like it when people implement an incomplete design. It's like people that take their websites offline with an "Under Construction" banner on the front page. "You'll love the new site!", they say. Yeah, you just have to wait for a few months before it's ready, meanwhile, the original site doesn't work at ALL. :-)
After getting PHP to cooperate with my favorite Oekaki board (which took about 2 weeks due to a PHP documentation oversight), I can now test all my code fully long before it's used online.
Then again, I'm not a big fan of Xoops, but this is still my favorite forum, anyway. :-)
