We are happy to announce we have replaced our old forum. Our old forum which was run using server software called phpBB was never too much fun to use. It was slow, buggy, the fonts were small and the theme was dark and difficult to read. The spam controls required constant attention and last month when our host provider moved our entire website to a new server and the MYSQL database it was running on became corrupt.
After some searching we found a great solution from a company called Lefora. Lefora hosts the forum, deals with spam and it has lots of web 2.0 features such as full RSS support. A nice feature of our new forum is it’s abilty to automatically post our blog news into the forum as posts. This helps keep the forum fresh with new topics. We hope you will join in the conversation!
