New forum format??

Postby Bob Shade » Tue Dec 20, 2016 5:59 pm

Is this going to be the new forum look?

What is phpBB?

If so is there any advantages to the new provider?

Mel did an update to the site and we lost everything. Unfortunately he say's this is about as good as it's going to get. PhpBB is the forum system we are using. The phpBB logo shouldn't be there but it is, for now. Mel is super busy right now and doesn't have time to trouble shoot it. Hopefully someday maybe we get the old look back.

Mel worked long and hard last evening to get the board up and running again preventing the loss of this valuable encyclopedia of Mosrite information. This will be the new look of the forum for quite a while if not permanently. Once you get use to navigating around it's not too bad. Just like learning a new song or riff on the guitar, it takes practice. :D
