Saint, have you ever considered switching your messageboard/forums to the more widely used vbulletin software? I run a gaming clan, that has been using this for a few years now and i highly recommend it. It is the most featured forum software out there. Awesome image attachment tools. Very robust search tool. And a ton of other features. The latest version 3.00 is VERY nice.
The price for an owned license of this software is $160. I would be more than happy to donate one of my licenses to byoac.com (i have 2) I am only using one of them at this time. I will transfer all ownership to you.
And get this. There is an import script that will import yabbse. All posts, users, forum structure and settings.
The amount of customization you can do to these forums is endless. I'll even help with the implementation, and customization if needed. All you need to do is ask. Ive been setting up these forums for about 3 years now.
Please let me know if your interested, I'm sure once you and the other members use it, you'll see what youve been missing
If you want to read up more on it, here is the official site
