Folks - I plan to migrate LaverdaForum to a new software platform tomorrow - Thurs 14 Jan starting 0900GMT.
This means the forum will be offline for much of the day so that I can transfer all theoff-topic crap invaluable gems that have been posted over the last 20 years. That's 420,000 posts and 24,000 attachments.
I hope that you will find the new software easy to use. It brings a big benefit of enabling photos to be uploaded without needing to be resized first. There's all sorts of whizzy social media friendly stuff too, but if (like me) you don't do that then it can be ignored!
You will be able to log in using your existing username and password as you do at the moment. The only thing to be aware of is that if you have previously changed your display name then that won't be carried over. You'll have to change it in your Profile tab on the new software. Until you do your display name will be the same as your username that you use to log in with.
The forum URL will change too - but if you go to the old location (laverdaforum.com/forum) you should be automatically redirected.
