[quote quote=“chrisjb” post=24394][quote quote=“chrisjb” post=24392]I think we’re ready to invite a few people in to the new forum. It’s still at ‘beta’ level but I’d like to get some early feedback.
Please send me a private message if you want to check it out.[/quote]
Josh and Mark - Thanks for volunteering. Wanted to make sure you got my PM, so you can check it out.[/quote]
Yeah sorry, checking pm’s now… the current system doesn’t notify you when you get them lol, so this will be a welcome upgrade!
Big thanks to Testmark76 and RazorEdgeKnives for providing great feedback about the beta forum site.
I’ve made a few updates there, and would appreciate it if anyone wants to try it out now.
Note: Some of the main functionality is available through the ‘Forum’ menu list; this is where you can navigate easily to a) create a new post (selecting which topic or sub-topic), b) view and manage private messages.

Looking very good!!! Much easier to use than the initial one!! :silly:
We’ll be moving to the new forum very soon, with the exact date tbd based on a couple of issues the developers are trying to finish up. We may be able to move as early as tomorrow night (Nov. 5 MST), or it may go into the weekend.
We’ve worked to make the new forum as similar as possible to this current forum, for look / feel / navigation. But it’s enough different that users will definitely notice.
At the same time, we’ve tried to make some fundamental improvements, such as better mobile experience and better private messaging.
Please let me know if you have any immediate questions, or want access to the ‘beta’ site.
Could you let us know what you did with the comments the reviewers gave you?
For example, on the beta side it still seems possible to post in the root forum. For me as a mod that’d be a pain in the ass, because it’d probably mean I’d have to move lots of post to the right forums.
