That is by no means an endorsement of tables over CSS. I think the arguments speak for themselves. I just thought it would be funny to see what the site we're arguing this on uses. It does, however, fly in the face of this implication of yours that tables aren't standard and aren't effective.
FuseTalk was privately developed in 1999, and they haven't updated. The only point you're making is that it was good enough before. Well, this isn't 1999 anymore. Sure, it might still work, but I'm sure if they were to recode the software for whatever reason, they'd choose CSS over flat-out tables.
So it was good enough before? But it isn't any more? Cause later you say "it may still work"? Does it or does it not?
As far as what they've been doing. The forum has been updated with lots of CSS formatting and a little positioning and is now written in ASP.NET and they've adapted it for CFMX. I guess they are just a bunch of slackers stuck in the last century. Recoding the few dozen pages the forum software consists of would be elementary in comparison.
:roll: Come on. This isn't 1999? That's all you got now? Guess what, we're still using GIFS and HTTP and they go back further. Can we all have a nice JPG vs PNG debate now??
