Hi folks
I’m upgrading the forums to the latest version of phpBB3.

Be well
gus.

Yesterday, our webserver needed to be rebooted. This caused the outage that kept all of our websites down for a good part of the day.
We’ve asked our web host to give us more notice the next time they feel a server reboot like this is necessary

We’re restarting fresh – but keeping the same database of discussions – and plan a simpler forum by the beginning of August.
