Ain't that the truth! I've participated in online forums ranging from cars and Harleys to computers, as well as places like SWC. BCKS is by far the hardest to navigate through. You eventually figure it out, but it is not nearly as friendly an interface as this one.

I don't remember the name of the engine that drives SWC and many other forums on the web, but it would be great if BCKS could engineer something similar for navigation, albeit with the ability to compartmentalize viewing access and still have a way to hang and compartmentalize access to content beyond the forums.

Content-wise, there is a lot to be said for what is there, that otherwise might not be available were it not for the ability to limit access. AKO's Knowledge centers have been another approach to hang content, but they are also a pain to navigate.
