Unfortunately, Jean, the very thing that makes the new forum cumbersome is also the thing that protects it from spammers. The old forum (without some major effort) will always be subject to spam issues and cleaning it up will also take effort, although not as much as it might to prevent spammers.

As to finding things, the new forum has a search function, although there seems to be an issue with some messages simply disappearing.

Jean,

Am affraid I agree with Ed on this one.  When the new forum was brought up it was ok for awhile and then we started getting hit with robot spammers.  Two of us were deleteing from 100-200 spammers per day.  This old forum is much different and I cann't get to the source to do anything with it.  I do have some control over the new one.  I would like to clean up the old forum also but no access to it is my problem.

Thanks Jean
Don Byers
