News About YamahaForums New Forum
Posted by saul on Friday, February 19 @ 13:49:05 UTC (139 reads)

Due to the recent problems with the existing integrated site forum we have now migrated across to a stand alone version of phpbb3

All original posts and memberships have been retained so nothing was lost in the transfer.

Separating the forum from the main web site gives us more flexibility in patching and updating and also the new forum has a lot more user features than the old one so hopefully you will find it more useful over time.

The link in the menu to the left has been changed to take you to the new forum and there is also a link at the top of the new forum to bring you back here should you so wish.

Any problems, please contact us using the "Feedback" link in the main site menu.
