Two Bills Drive updated the message board software this weekend to finally take advantage of a newer software release. It has been, many, many years since we have done this due to the fairly significant effort that is involved. Along with this, our skin has changed significantly from the old skin. It took quite awhile for 1.9 million posts to be converted, but we hope you find it was worth it.

Link Sharing
Easily share links from your community to Facebook, Twitter, and more. Great way to drive traffic to your community!
Status Updates

Is there anything we need to do? Because the site is so slow it is taking minutes to go through every click of the mouse and it wont load the page for changing my profile.
