The boards work fine, don't worry. Though I have some plans to improve talk pages ;) So we might be just keeping boards around for the fact that they can send private messages. I'm guessing it's something silly causing the problem. I'll take a peak and see what I can find (this sort of thing is why I have a second account). If you can give more details (like what sort of error) that would be great. The more detail the less digging I have to do to start hunting the problem.
