[Discuss] Seeking help on "Portal" package

[bill at horne.net (Bill Horne)]

One of the administrators of a forum I use has asked for help to find
a better "Portal" package than the one they're using now.

The forum ( http://www.amfone.net/ ) is used by Ham Radio operators,
but they're having some unexpected debug text show up at the top of
each web page after recovering from a major meltdown, and can use some
assistance.  Here's a snippet from the email the admin sent to me:

     We're looking for someone who is an SMF (Simple Machines Forum)
     expert and has some experience with web portals. Once we get rid
     of these errors (I have a line on that), we'll want to get rid of
     MKPortal (our current portal system). It is old and has not been
     upgraded since 2006! Then we'll want to upgrade the forum to SMF
     2.x. That's my thinking anyway. I'm open to expert opinion, since
     I'm not one!

If you know of a solution to the current issue, or can suggest a
better Portal package, please email me and I'll pass along his email
address.

Thank you.
