being able to copy/paste UBB Code from forum posts directly into the main site CMS
Actually geo, I found a super easy way to take care of that problem...
Just straight copy the post as it is viewed (not the code but the finished post) and paste it into the CMS editor input box. You don't need to mess with the code at all because the CMS has a 'What You See Is What You Get' type interface. It doesn't even recognize html unless you open a special window in the CMS editor toolbar. So when you paste things in, the formatting and pictures are preserved.

How does using the main site's Content Management System (CMS) make things look bad and/or discourage new users? The CMS allows for HTML formatting capability, which while not always intuitive to new members, can still make things look great if you take the time to really work out the code.
i was referring to the fact that an empty skeleton on the CMS would deter visitors (and uninformed users) from actually looking at the data base, if all was empty blocks just waiting to be filled... for the skeleton alone (which probably doesn't need ALL THAT MUCH work)
there's no problem with the CMS other then the one you mentioned but i think it's best to be adding to it rather then dumping all these subjects in with no content

 It's a WEED man!

We could use a kind of sandbox. An area labeled as under construction or some such thing so it isn't cluttering the main page. (A new folder perhaps?) Once it's finished we could move it to it's rightful place.
