The message board was in "maintenance mode" most of the day Sunday, 1 April 2007 as we upgraded the forum sofware from YaBB Gold SP 1.3.2 to YaBB 2.1. The new software provides numerous enhanced features, some of which include:

• New user options (edit your profile to see them);
  
• Greatly enhanced security (though much of it is behind-the-scenes);
  
• Better message editor;
  
• File attachments: you can now attach a variety of file types to message board posts; Images will be displayed in-line;
  
• Polls;
  
• Gzip compression; you may find that message board pages load more quickly.
  

At present, the RSS feed previously associated with this message board is no longer available, but we will be working to rectify that in the coming days.
