Forum upgraded - please contact Phil Kirk if any issues

Hi all,

I have just upgraded the forum to the latest version. This was needed because of an upgrade done by our hosting provider.

If you have any issues with the forum (or main site) that might be upgrade related please contact me through Phil Kirk.

Thanks,


Richard Kirk

Re: Site blocked.

Further website improvements

I just realised I am logged in as the wrong user and have been posting as my dad. It is actually Richard here pretending to be Phil. I was the one making changes so if you have any comments you can send them to me.

No more "Untitled post" entries will appear on the homepage. These are now defaulted to the topic title.

The problem we have seen has been with users not being automatically logged back in when returning to the forum. I was having this problem and with the latest tweaks this isn't happening any mo...

I'm not sure how much of an impact this will have so it is more just a heads up. Here are instructions on how to clear cook...

new logo

Done! That was an easy change and now the forum looks much nicer.

Thanks very much for the image, it looks a lot better than the one drawn in paint that gets used on the main site. I never have time to play with artwork as you can tell by the lack of it on the site.
