I’ve been working on the new forum today. We have chosen MyBB and I’ve installed it. Just need to add the moderators, thank you guys for volunteering, and then start the threads going and it’ll be online soon.
Just got a few decisions to make about the categories and the threads before we can go any further. I’m looking at doing the same categories as on this site with a couple extra for general forum stuff such as announcements and support.
Rules are going to be pretty much the same as here but the software needs you to register rather than just post so there is a step you need to take which you don’t need to here if you want to contribute. It will be open to unregistered guests for browsing if they just want to read.
It also has a calendar which should come in handy. I’ll add an action to pull the data from that and display on a sidebar on this site.
I’ll put an article upon how it all fits together when it is ready and then it is over to you. We can develop it as it goes on.
Very many thanks for all the time and effort you are putting in to this venture – it is really very much appreciated this end. It will be very interesting to see how the forum develops and what the strong topics will be.
Iaaems,
Thanks for that. I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes myself.
i am looking forwrd to having some interesting discussions
Hi everybody is there a top ten for whats most likely to go wrong and lead us to a survival situation ?
Maddog,
So am I.
Dave,
Not that I am aware of. Everyone seems to generate their own top 10. Perhaps this would make a nice start up topic for the forum when it is up and running.
Sounds like fun, good work!
Sgt. It is so far lets see what it is like when it needs support.
