Doesn't really count as bug report, so I'm putting it here. For some reason, the library creates more than one entry in the list of boards when I use msgRoom.dm.

Here's the code that I'm using to call it:

mob
Login()
var/savefile/F = new /savefile("forums.sav")
LoadMsgBoards(F)
AddMsgBoard("Forum","The Forum")

So, apparently, AddMsgBoard adds extraneous list entries when it is merely supposed to return the forum.

Spuzzum	Aw cmon use my Forum... I would, because you have lots of nice features, but I don't like unthreaded forums. =/

I'm surprised this works at all. You'll want to do:

LoadMsgBoards("forums.sav")
AddMsgBoard("Forum","The Forum")

That seems to work in my tests.

(Deadron's forum is more robust, and definitely more stable, though!)

Spuzzum	That seems to work in my tests. Hmm. When I did it that way, it froze up on me when I ran it the last time. That's why I had changed it to this.
