forums If you go to the forums section of the site you will see we are now using a new bulletin board system from Kunena. This is replacing the old Agora system we ere using before. The new system change was initially based on cost (it's free and Agora is now a Pay-For app) but I actually like the new system more. The way the tools are presented and the layout fits into our site better. The best thing is now the forums extend the width of the page so pictures and text are no longer squeezed in to the narrow space they were in before.

Now a few things did break. Although it looks like all of our pictures made it over to the new board, our avatars did not. I was able to grab the avatars but each user has to upload their own avatar ( I cannot find a global way to insert them all )and that would require me to log into each of your accounts. Since this is not practical or not very "privacy friendly" I have posted up the avatars in the announcements section so you can grab your avatars and upload them into your account when you're logged in.

Another downside is that the new system does not support private messaging natively so I will be implementing a new system soon that will integrate into Kunena.I will be keeping the old forum system installed for a while so if you need to get access to the old system to grab info from your old PM's let me know and I'll send you a link to the old board. Other than that let me know if you run into any issues with the new system.
