D9rr: XHTML is indeed useful if you are writing a web page that uses other XML based markup. This forum, however, is straight HTML which requires no use of XML.


An interesting concept: stagnation by default?

Perhaps a relevant example would help:

All layout is already done with CSS


Not that we're table-less, yet. (I'll have to tell my low-vision client that I _still_ haven't found a forum for him, yet.) Sighted webmasters, me included until my client educated me, automatically hamper many sight-disadvantaged users when we use tables. I'd just love to see a forum with a style or theme that's truly linear ... much like reading a newsgroup message. Unfortunately, since the GUI of a newsreader usually can't handle giant fonts that well, newsreaders are themselves difficult for my client to use.

I'm sure FUDForum will eventually go this route. Meanwhile, I'll keep shopping for another forum with more open-ended features and with a more open-minded author. (This was not meant as a flame, just a thinking-out-loud comment.)
