One point already raised about this page is the small script size – click on the "AA" at the top right of the screen to toggle through different display sizes. In Firefox and MS Internet Explorer, you can also use CTRL and "+" or "-" to zoom in or out. To reset the display size to normal, press CTRL and "0″ (Zero).

Alec,
I'm going to stick with this forum software for now, because it natively provides image upload capability. I've limited the image size to 600KB for now, because larger than this causes problems at the server end – but it's ample for the web, for example, 400KB looks like this… (and I've had to edit the size to half – 800×600)
There are a lot of themes available for WP. I'm sure we can site down sometime and pick out a nice one: there's no need to write your own for a non-commercial site. I only have a few installed on the site but it's easy to pick up more. As you can see, I like the simpler ones
The usage limit can be increased if need be: if this is going to end up outside of your own direct interest area then I'd need to place some kind of limit but I wouldn't be worrying about it below say, 250MB. That's a lot of images and pdfs.
I have to say, I'm liking this forum software and this theme suits it better because of the width of the page.
This is good – I think I need to get to know it a bit better, but looks like it will fit the bill. I have as you see changed the theme – are there more available, and can the theme be modified, as it still looks a bit bland?
Somewhere I think I saw that there is a 10MB(?) usage limit? Can that be increased as there will be a lot of photos and some big PDFs going up here before too long.
Hello, Alec! What do you think of this for a forum? I think it'll meet your needs – and this version is brand new: it was installed here within 12 hours of release.
Now, that's what I call service.
