OK PEOPLE, LISTEN UP!
"The time has come, the Walrus said / To speak of many things..." ... who can finish it?
Never mind that... I've done what I've talked about for a while now, given the last few horrendous outages on Network54 here. I've bought and installed new forum software which is now operational on the MLU server. It's a VERY sophisticated package which offer lots of extras you could only dream about here, but the interface is different than what you're used to. No matter, this is a done-deal, and you'll find it easy to adapt (and far less frustrating!). There seem to be no bugs I can unearth so far, so "have at it"!
The URL for this is
http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums ... jump over there, bookmark it, and spend some time familiarizing yourself with the way it works. There is substantial documentation available through the FAQ link to help you along. Yes, you will have to register... but it's painless and from what I can devine, one of the most secure arrangements of its kind on the internet. And the benefits will be enormous, as you'll find out in due course.
You have 24 hours before THIS forum gets blocked from further posting. I will shortly replace the intro at the top of this forum's main page with a synopsis of what we're doing, and a link to the new forum. This forum WILL remain open (for referral purposes) for at least a month more, and in the interim, I will backup every single thread contained herein for future reference. Our work here is NOT lost.
By the same token, I would urge that you start any NEW topics in the NEW forum from this point onwards.
This move is necessary and long overdue. Please help us make this as painless as possible.
Thanks for your support these past four and a half years, and enjoy your new digs!
