I’ve just upgraded the forum software to the latest version. Please report any issues in the Site Feedback forum. As an update to the IP Blocking post, if you were previously having problems logging in, that shouldn’t be the case any more.
I’m currently in a process of locking out rogue IPs that are registering in an attempt to spam. If you suddenly find yourself locked out of the board, let me know so I can loosen the reins on your IP range.
As you’ll see from visiting the forum, the default skin has now been replaced. I’ve decided to move away from the theme I was using, because it’s too much work to recustomise after updates.

This week has been real busy at work, so really slow on the board topic wise. The visit rate has stayed steady at around 200, though it has dipped a little where the post rate has slackened off a bit. It’s been a little difficult to track down decent news as well. There’s been the [...]
The past week has been focussed on tweaking the UI and fixing minor issues people have had. I decided last Wednesday to create a weekly comic strip that picks up a story from the week and pokes some fun at it. From the visits to that thread, it looks popular enough. I’ll be progressively improving [...]
