Jeez the things that happen when you're out of action for a bit! I was just checking the admin area and came across a proboards blog. Apparently they are working on a new version of the forum database with new features and I have to say some of them are pretty cool! Here's the features list if you want to have a peek. Don't know if I'm meant to share em with you or not but I figure this is your forum. You should be able to know!  |

Just giving you guys a heads up. Apparently when they do these updates we won't be able to access the forum which is not surprising but I'll only be getting a notice 2 days prior to it so just in case I miss that and you can't get on the forum it's probably because of them updating the server.
So just try back a few hours later or the next day.
I don't know if everything will be working properly straight away so if any thing is out of sync just bare with me and I'll eventually sort it out.
Oh and apparently not all the posts show up straight away after they've done it but they say that they do come back eventually.

The forum upgrade has been done.
Give me a few days to go through everything to see what has been changed and that.
In the meantime you might want to mark everything as read when you pop in because I've noticed it says there are far more new posts then there should be...

Just quickly... I think the board is still being upgraded. I'm not sure but I guess we'll find out eventually
