If you are running CFBB please send me URL of your site to andrew@adersoftware.com. I'm trying to have a list of sites using CFBB. Even if your site is private, please send me an email, so that at least I know how many copies are being installed. Thanks.

    Good job on this forum. It would be great if there was support for some kind of user password encryption, instead of storing it as simple text in the database.

    Hey, this looks like a great forum. Is there any support for MS-Access though? It's probably the most common database out there for small to medium websites that could really benefit from a quick and easy Bulletin Board solution. How about MySQL?

    Please contact me. This concerns the emailing of passwords to members. In the email setup area there is only a location for Mail Server and Email address and User Email Services. This is a problem for me because the mail server that I am using requires a User Name and Password before it will send a message. Do you know of an easy way to add the user name and password fields so that the mail server will relay the message?

    I'm taking a look at cfbb. Looks great! I've got it working with ms sql server, but I noticed in the readme.txt you offered to help with another database. Would you by any chance have any sql scripts, needed changes, or advice to get it working with mysql? Thanks again for making this software available!

    Is there anyway of hiding forums from users who cant access them ? I guess if they had to login first etc, it would be quite simple to hide forums for people that dont have access etc.
    Will this be coming in the next release? Also the ability to attach files to posts etc would be brilliant..
    Any ideas?
