Jacko Sparrato, better known by ENZO, codes most of the features that you see on NextGenUpdate.
In fact, you are looking at (and using) one of the features he has manipulated to suit the forums requirements.
That's right, he changed the coding of the software that this forum runs on, making it possible to upgrade from VB3 to VB4.
Without ENZO, NextGenUpdate would be pretty standard in terms of implemented features.
