Nice job Jcink. I personally find this to be the best free forum hosting out there(I've tried alot). I was with that "other" forum host but I was tired of the lame support and the fact that you had to use coding to add anything.
Keep up the great work Jcink I take my hat off to you
But you have to remember that a lot of us are invision / computer savvy people that are used to message boards. OK, well you don't have to be THAT computer savvy, but it still does have a learning curve.
To someone who has never been introduced to invision before or owned a forum for that matter could definitely find this all confusing. The front end of JFB is simple enough for members; but for admins I do believe that it should be made simpler. That's why I'm planning 3 different kind of ACP styles, which will take a LOT of time to do, but they will be worth it.

Please don't hide the features to make it look smaller and simpler
The acp is easy enough as it is, there's nothing complicated about Invision's ACPs at all

I will explain the full breakdown of the ACP plans another time, I haven't to anyone. I don't plan to "ruin" the current one at this time, I would like to keep it as one of the three CP options.

The problem is, I know it's not complicated, but it looks complicated at first glance of that CP.
Complicated? I bet even a caveman can set up a highly successful JFB forum that has 1000+ members.
*Caveman appears out of no where* Oh, you think that's funny huh? Like what, we're mentally challenged. Well, sorry for not skipping a couple of stages of evolution just so we could be as smart as some of you "Contemporary Humans".

I've tried a lot of these also....totally the best.... *drinks champagne* I'm underaged but no one cares
And just to make it easier J, there should be a Flash thing somewhere that has a guide on how to use the ACP, like you mouse over things and it tells you what it does. Probably take a lot of coding and crap to do though xD
