Forum Update / Migration

**** FORUMS ARE NOW IN READ ONLY MODE ****The forum migration will be happening over the next 24 hours, as such the forums are now in read only mode and registration is suspended. Please check back soon and keep an eye on your emails.****************************************We've finally decided to go ahead and migrate the forum over to a new software platform - PHPBB.Development of the WebWiz software has essentially stopped now. PHPBB should offer better access from mobiles and tablets and should improve image uploads too.It will not be without its challenges. Everything will transfer over but URLs will be different so I'm not sure yet how internal links and images will work. All user accounts will transfer over but passwords are encrypted and cannot be transferred over. As such, you'll not be able to log in until a new password has been sent to you. As part of the upgrade this should happen during the migration process so it's important to ensure you email address is correct in your profile.I'm hoping the migration will take place this week but they've not yet given me a date, as soon as I find out I'll let you know. Don't be alarmed if the forum is closed, it will need to be taken down for a day or two whilst the migration is completed.I'll post full contact details for reporting issues and will work through them all as quickly as possible.ThanksRob

Thanks Rob As a real newbie to the site, I am hugely impressed so far - I have been made to feel welcome by all, and I sincerely hope that the migration to BB goes smoothly and is the first step in seeing the forum gather pace and strength

Right folks - looks like it's going ahead later today, the forum will close after lunch. I'll keep everyone updated with news on the homepage.

I think the emails are still sending out last time I looked. I have some more reminders set to go later once Mailchimp plays nicely :)

i used the link to send out a new password.
That part works as expected.
