Forum Upgrade This applys to everyone here We are getting a major forum upgrade soon . Everything is getting an overhaul, there are going to be loads of new features along with an easier to use format. We have been beta testing the new software for a few months or so now and it is in the final stages with only minor bugs to sort out Your going to love it ;D Along with all the new features, we have designed a totally different new look to the forum which we think your gona like, its a major face lift to this old and dated look we have now The credits for the new look have to go to Bazmatic and myself, we have spent alot of time behind the scene's to bring you a fresh new look to the forum, we hope you will like what we have done. Your going to have to wait tho as all the changes are due around the 28th of January 2013, However we will be taking part in a proboards contest to win a changeover sooner, Im told we all could win so fingers crossed Merry Christmas everyone

Yes we are staying with proboards Sue Its a major overhall so to speak, evrey aspect of the forum will change, you will still have all of the options you have now plus a hell of alot more! It will be alot easier to use, once you get used to it, there is a real time shoutbox that is cool, posting images and video's is a hell of alot easier too. And the new look is awesome I think everyone will love it and it will be here by the end of the month and I cant wait lol, Ive been dying to show you all the differences

we have had some eegits over the last 2 years or so, but if the members behave then it would be ok, perhaps a warning header or something, will noobies have access to use it ? I was laughing when thinking you would need mods in America, Australia and Europe ;D

Every signed in member will be able to use it, guests won't, I will be making a rule for the use of it and will make it an anouncement

I think it's a great idea uforn. The ufo coming out of the water and the copter over the water was really good. I'm really getting excited about the Forum Upgrade.
