We are in the process of upgrading the forum to make it quicker, more secure and generally a little more up-to-date!

Please continue to post as normal, this forum will remain open for as long as possible during the maintenance works.

The works have been slightly delayed due to power failures, but will re-commence soon.

Thanks for your patience!

OK, here it is - The new and improved forum.

It should be quicker, especially for searching.

It has enhanced security.

And basically, is much better!



Anything that seems odd, please PM me, we may still find little bugs!



The one annoying thing that may need changing when you can........any posts where you altered text size may now appear smaller that before, this is because the font size system is now similar to a word-processor, and the sizes are different........please ammend any of you own posts when you find them, and moderators will also do the same to posts on their boards.


To turn off the images on the forum index page, enter your profile, and change the template under "options".  We will also be adding some other cool templates soon!

Humour section seems to have disappeared completely?!

Otherwise, new forum is fine so far!

Why have I got a green dot next to my name and everyone else has a red dot?
Ok, I know it's not the most important thing in the world at the moment, but I like to know these things.
