Title: Forum Update
Post by: casper on August 06, 2023, 03:26:32 PM

Hi All
just to let you know I've decided to close the forum as it stands and start afresh. I'll archive it and it will always be available but will be read-only.
I'm doing this because the software that the forum runs on has 'branched off' in a different direction and I can't update this forum to it. So as it stands the current forum software is out of date with no support, therefore no more updates. This means that it becomes a security risk (hacking etc.).


The new software branch will look more or less exactly as the old one but will be fully supported.


The downside is that I can't recreate all the user accounts so current members will have to re-register, and I will have to setup permissions and forum section again.
I think this a positive step for the forum going forward :)


I'm hoping to get this done next weekend, or earlier, if I can manage it.


Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but hopefully the disruption will be minimal.
