Hi All,

I’m in the process of moving the RE forum from the old system to the WordPress system I use for the news and my blog.

This system is easier to maintain, is more user-friendly (at least as an admin!) and most importantly has much better anti-spam facilities; the old forum was slowly dying because the spam had got so out of control that it was barely possible to register as a new poster.

The new forums are here: https://www.elegancestudios.com/wordpress/?post_type=forum

I’ve attempted to import all the posts and old user data; most of it went along but there are inevitably some funnies (e.g. you may find your username now has “imported_” at the start). You may well get prompted for a password reset the first time you access the new forum, too. If you hit any problems I’d suggest registering a new forum name, but if that doesn’t work, please drop me a line and let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Please have a look at the new system and let me know how you get on.

I’m aware that the WordPress theme we’re using results in teeny-tiny writing for the forum; I’m looking into more legible alternatives.

If all goes well, I’d like to move to the new system shortly, as the old system is not really maintained much now and the server will die sooner or later.
