I don't see a link anywhere. What Forum software is this forum using?
From the look at URL is doesn't seems to be a php scripts. It has the clean and simplicity of Punbb, some design of Invision BB..... and bascially it is good......... So i am just wondering if this is self made?

It seems to be the same running the Bradbury Software Forums, which by the way says "Powered by InstantForum.NET v3.4. Copyright © 2002, 2004, InstantASP Ltd. All rights reserved.".

But Nick had it running properly:
. It had the individual RSS feeds linked on the front page with buttons.
. The Javascript "Rate Topic" and "Topic Options" work in Firefox. Here they just throw parsing errors (in the CSS?) in the JS Console.

Additionally I'd love to see some posting help, e.g. how to add URLs and stuff. Does it use BBCode? At least it's nowhere mentioned.

Yes, it's InstantForum.NET which you should be able tell from the name is not PHP-based.

The problems thomas has identified were in Nick's forums as well, but he found code corrections to address them. Unfortunately, they aren't trivial (even require updating the database) and as you can imagine our programming staff have been busy with NewsGator and FeedDemon releases.

I've put this on my "hot list" and we're making sure it gets escalated. I'm a 100% Firefox user myself, so the malfunctioning links really bug me as well.

As for adding links, and such, the forum uses regular HTML, no BBCode, etc. If you need to create a link or list, just write out the HTML and it will be rendered for you.

If you use IE, the built-in WYSIWYG editor handles links, lists, etc. for you.
