Please note that over the next few days we will be upgrading the software that is running the forums.

For that reason, the forums will go offline for periods of time. We will try to keep any downtime to a minimum.

Wherever possible, we will give advance notice of these outages, but please bare in mind that the length of any outage is only estimated and are dependent on how smoothly the upgrade goes.

Unfortunately the update didn't go that well and will need to be postponed until some other time.

phpBB has served us very well over the past years. As it is open source, it enables us to make modifications to suit our need. It has good free support.
