When I setup the new website I also installed a Forum (Simple Machines Forum) that is a lot nicer than the old Forum software. It is a stand alone program so to get it to work within the MBA website I installed software that is called a “Bridge”. It bridges the registration for both the website and the Forum. It has been giving me problems from the very start. Some people can register and use the Forums with no problems, others have recurring problems.

I have decided to remove the software and replace it with software from a different source. One that I have been told is much better and less error prone. I will replace it some time on Saturday August 19th (should only take about an hour or two). If you can’t log in on Saturday please just try back a couple hours later and Forum should be back up. This will not stop you from viewing the website or downloading just using the Forum.
