New forum

[SCAFAdmin]

Welcome forum browsers.  Apologies for the long delay in getting the new forum up and running.  We had some serious problems with spammers using flaws in the previous software to bypass the registration process.

The forum still needs lots of tweaking with layout etc so please bear with us whilst these changes are effected over the next few days.

User registration is no longer automated, for the time being they will be "admin approved" meaning there may be a short delay in your registration.  This is to keep humans in the loop to avoid the unpleasantness we had before with spam bots advertising various wares, lotions and potions.....

Hi Max,

The news box is to alert forum users to news relevant to the forum.  Perhaps as a warning of a maintenance period or a change in use, terms & conditions etc.
