I can easily tell the boards CMS to display whatever page I wish. However, we're going to move more towards the standard of forums where the domain resolves to the root forum. Today's posts is only a click away.
Just an update...
Hyperlinks should be a little more visible in posts now. Sidebar functionality is increased (chat status, who's online). Corrected an issue with the CUCV hot rodding/modding forum. As well as a few back end things.
There is a single add-on now that parses youtube links. Unfortunately there's dozens of ways people can post links. Right now the site is setup to only automatically embed these type links.

In the event I was to make an inflammatory comment, it'd certainly be a direct one leaving no question to it's validity.
I'm trying to cater to everyone here (impossible). I had complaints from people not knowing about their membership expiring. So I installed a plugin to alert members of it. Unfortunately it's an "all or nothing" alert.
Update:
Advanced search has a lot more grunt to it now. You can filter by forums. To select multiple forums ctrl + click the forums you wish to search under.
Working on a google search to incorporate into the site as well.
The links are invalid. We didn't reinstall the wiki addon. So the Wikis are becoming articles. So far I've only done the CUCV one. (I keep getting pulled in other directions)
In all honesty, you were missing alot from the old way as well. I realized that people liked it. But it was...
