Rumel thanks very much for taking the time to make these detailed suggestions.

I frankly need volunteer help to make all of these changes.

It's just me here. I'm not a company with staff like the Aneros site, etc.

Any suggestions in THAT regard? E.G. charging monthly fees for participation (I'd rather not) or ??? Although given what I've discovered I should be a millionaire, this is mostly a labor of love, and I give it all I've got (considering age and health issues, etc.).

The vbulletin software, although very powerful, is godawfully complex and by default not at all user-friendly nor admin-friendly, so every modification from default has a steep learning curve with dire consequences if one screws up.
