Not a Cobblers fan but there is nothing wrong with old forum software. At the end of the day modern software does pretty much the same as old software but it does look better on portable devices.
For a small fee of around £10 I could supply a CSS code for the site owner to improve the colours to match your team and make the site more portable device friendly.
Colour scheme and display on portable devices are two of my biggest gripes with the forum. The third is that i often want to quote multiple posts in my replies and have to resort to copy and pasting to achieve this. unless anyone knows of a better way?
