Hello everyone.

As you can see, our forum has undergone a major redevelopment during the last week. Gone is the stale old design along with the confusing interface.

We?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ??¢ÀÜ?°?É‚Äò?¢ÀÜ?°?¢ÀÜ‚Äö??¢ÀÜ?°?ɬ´?????¢ÀÜ?°?Ǭ¥??Ǭ¨?Ǭ®?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?Ǭ¢ve dragged the site kicking and screaming into the user-friendly twenty-first century.

Although, to be fair, most of the kicking and screaming didn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ??¢ÀÜ?°?É‚Äò?¢ÀÜ?°?¢ÀÜ‚Äö??¢ÀÜ?°?ɬ´?????¢ÀÜ?°?Ǭ¥??Ǭ¨?Ǭ®?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?Ǭ¢t come from the site, but rather from our design team, who sat up till well past their collective bedtimes to get the whole shebang up and running.

Apart from the brand spanking new layout, we have also added a handful of new features, including the categories, which we hope will elp to guide and inspire the conversation. (We will be reviewing these in the next few months, so let me know if you have any ideas for possible changes.)

The feature we are most proud of, however, is that you can now pload images to use in the forum. This has opened a world of possibilities, as users will now be able to ask each other for advice, ith answers based on real pictures, or ask the forum their opinion of ertain images.

It?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ??¢ÀÜ?°?É‚Äò?¢ÀÜ?°?¢ÀÜ‚Äö??¢ÀÜ?°?ɬ´?????¢ÀÜ?°?Ǭ¥??Ǭ¨?Ǭ®?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?Ǭ¢s quite easy to get a picture into a forum post, all you need to do is upload the image to your gallery, then, once you?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ??¢ÀÜ?°?É‚Äò?¢ÀÜ?°?¢ÀÜ‚Äö??¢ÀÜ?°?ɬ´?????¢ÀÜ?°?Ǭ¥??Ǭ¨?Ǭ®?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?Ǭ¢ve started the comment or topic, click on the icon which looks like a tree (with G2 written at the top). From there you will be able to select any of the images in your gallery to attach to the post.

But, as we all know, a forum is only as good as its users, and it will be YOU that will make or break our new toy.

We hope you like to play with it as much as you do.

Happy posting.
