The old forum and gallery used software that is no longer maintained and this caused serious security issues. So creating a new website gave the perfect opportunity to incorporate a new forum and gallery. Much research was done to find a solution that was secure, easy-to-use and able to be localized in languages other than English. It was also necessary that it had the ability to import the existing Forum structure and data and photos and their comments. Fortunately, we were able to satisfy all of our requirements.
There is still much work to be done to improve the layout, navigation and look-and-feel, but that will be an ongoing process. Your suggestions on how to improve the Forum in these areas will be greatly appreciated.
PLEASE NOTE: The Store of the main site also has a user registration system. That system is completely separate from the Forum and so logging in to one does not give access to the other. It would be great if the two systems could share username/passwords, but it is simply not possible.
I hope you enjoy the new website and its Forum and Gallery.
