I found out today that my current forum solution wasn’t working–people have been unable to create new accounts–which isn’t acceptable.
I did a little research today and found out that getting a new forum solution set up using my hosting account would be a lot easier than I expected it to be. (I think in a lot of ways I’m still stuck in the days back when if you wanted something up on the web you had to hand code it yourself. It’s amazing what you can do these days with a few clicks!)
I’ve gone ahead and rolled out a new forum solution, and this time It’s hosted here on the same server as the rest of my site so there aren’t any annoying ads 🙂
You can find the new forum here. Or you can get to it by using the link up on the right side of the header.
I’m not sure when (or even if) I’ll have the time to move over all of the content from the old site (which is too bad–there is some amazing stuff there), so in the meantime you’ll still be able to go back to the old forum and look at the topics even though I’ve locked it down so that nobody can post.
