not working in two different browsers, should it?

They tried to revive it, but ultimately the boards have been dead for the past 5 years or so.

That's a new level of incompetence, even for the government. So, after spending all that tax-payer money, they just let the entire project die rather than have a developer spin up a new database schema, which would take anyone competent like 5 minutes? For real? And these are the people that everyone expects to fix our problems?

This is complete guess work but I'm pretty sure its the kind of things that was put together by some office assistant not a developer.

Real parks and rec vibes.

I don't know what a database is and it's been too long im afraid to go ask

Worth a shot. Wouldn't surprise me if this backwoods town is vulnerable. That being said, I'm open to anyone's code suggestions and I'll slap it on there. My coding abilities are limited to BASIC and just enough C to make microcontrollers work.
