This is a read-only forum.
It's a work in progress.
(Or digress, as the case may be.)

The complete Tales of Happy Valley are over at the Hullabaloo where they originated. I thought I'd try transcribing them here on Sun Sims with hopes of getting all my stories in one spot and to find out if there are things I can do in phpBB that I can't do in vBulletin. At the moment it looks like there's just too much editing and reformatting required to adapt those stories to vBulletin.

(I'm still working on methods for embedding HTML in a vBulletin post. This is one area where the HTML mod in php is far superior to vBulletin.)
