    As you may have noticed we have upgraded the forum software this was for a few reasons
    one being the old software as good as it had been was just past it's sell by date over 10 years old and was making things restrictive forum/shop

    now that the forum is up and running it would be good to get feedback of anything that doesn't work as it should or if something is missing or even if you don't know how something works or where it has moved to

    The list of attendees for the curby event seem to be a bit messed up. Apart from that haven't noticed anything else if i do will post in here.

    New forum looks good.
    However, I'm not staying logged in using Chrome. I have to log in each time. Any ideas?

    The 'Shop' tab takes you to the main homepage.

    I keep getting told the site is not secure. The only way I can get on is through an insecure way. Is anybody else having this problem?

    That's probably because your using a old link that's http instead of https or one of the pictures on the page
    If it's just one thread report it or post a link here and we'll have a look

    Thanks for reporting the issues everyone. Plenty to be working through. It's all a bit of a work in progress as expected but at least the core is working. We can improve it from here

    I kept getting this too regardless of log in secure type. Made me a bit nervous...

    Also links in previous posts created in the old platform no longer work.

    A suggestion: I realised today that some content only appears once you log in and (I assume) you are a paying member? If this is true it might be worth showing these sections as 'greyed out' items to encourage people to subscribe i.e. show them what they could be winning. Just a thought.
