If you didn't notice, the forums have a new look.  I have ported the old forums over to an upgraded version.  Not to bore with the details, but the old forums were based on a system that really wasn't supported any longer.  The new forums are based on a system that took the old system, and reworked it.  So, it will work pretty much the same as it did before, but once I get it running properly I'll be able to do some more things with it.  I put it back up so you could post, but you'll have to get into the forums for now through the link in the menu to the left.  The feeds in the right menu won't work yet, and links at the end of news items might be broken for a while.  UPDATE:  All seems to be working as it should, but I'm sure there are glitches.  Let me know if you find any.  Bear with us.  I might change the forum color (Changed), and I already widened the forum to make it easier to read (the right column that is on most pages of the site won't be there on the forum page).  Also, you may want to hold off on uploading an avatar to the site, as that might not stick until I'm done the upgrade. (Avatar uploads seem to be working now.  You can upload an avatar via either the avatar link towards the top of the profile page, or via the My Profile link in the User Menu on the left.)   (Discuss this article on the forums)
