Hi Hubbers

I understand there has been some teething problems of late like topics disappearing all of a sudden, intermittent access problems, random mysql errors, etc. Reason: The hub has basically outgrown its technical infrastructure (phpbb2). We've tried adhoc fixes but obviously they didn't solve the root of problems. So.. towards a cleaner and long-term solution to these problems, we will be doing an upgrade of the backend over the next few days. Pls bear with us if there's intermittent down time.

A quick FAQ:

Q. Why are you doing this?

Read above Smile

Q. When will this happen?

During the next few days/weeks. You'll be informed. Pls check
the top banner messages.

Q. Would I need to learn to post, etc?

No. Basically you should have the same look n feel viewing/posting except for some minor UI changes.

Q. Ok, what happens to my username, posts?

Upgrade will bring over everything from current forum. Will try our best to.

Q. What's new we can expect?

* Attachments: you'll be able to add images/docs to your posts
* One thread per topic: Topics will no longer need to be continued across multiple threads.
* some other possible new features: photo albums, calendar, blogs
* and more..

Ok, tks.

BTW, the Os upgrade took longer than I thought. Unfortunately it's only a start. There may be more downtimes over the weekend.
