Forum Software Updated

As part of our recent move to a new .com domain name we have updated the forum software. This is quite a big update and there are new features as well as security fixes. Essentially we have moved from vBulletin 3.x to 4.x.

We are still to fully skin the new forum as you can see it's not quite right. We will be working on this soon but wanted to get the forum back up asap so its functioning again.

We will keep you updated on progress in this thread.

We have just introducted the sidebar to the forum home page which at the moment includes posts from :

Latest News
New Forum Posts
Popular FAQ's

We may change this at a later date, would be interested in any useful suggestions ?

We have just added a new "Facebook Connect" button which allows you to register a new account via facebook. Existing users can link their Facebook accounts to their profiles too. You can post and like things in the forum and have it posted on Facebook too.

We are still working on the styling of this in the header. Bear with us.

We have done a lot more styling over the past day.

More styling completed. Changed a lot of the icons from blue to red.

Just upgraded the system with some minor updates from our forum software provider.
