This is to let you know about some changes on the way for the forums in the next few days and weeks.
Firstly we will be doing some simplification and rearranging of the forum structure. This is to make things easier to find and to get rid of some sections that aren't used as much these days. We will also be introducing some new areas.
Secondly, the forum software is migrating from VBulletin to Xenforo which will give us benefits including, better integration with our news site, better support for mobile devices as well as better search ranking on Google and various other enhancements.
The new forums will come with a new design, but we will be importing the current content so nothing should be lost.
Expect to start seeing some forum structure changes quite soon. We've yet to fix a date for the forum switchover but it will mean the forums will need to be down for a day or so to ensure all goes smoothly.
This upgrade is costing quite a bit of money so, as ever we are grateful to our sponsors and dealers who make this possible.
We also have some exciting ideas in the pipeline in terms of merchandise so watch this space.
Finally, we are considering volunteers to help with some elements of running the site. Possibly in the areas of social media activity, marketing and more. If you think you might be interested (this is always something you could put on your CV) please drop me a line at [email protected]
Thanks for reading. Any questions please ask below.
