Post by **neil** » Wed Feb 20, 2019 4:14 pm

Hi all

Just to let you know I've been busy working on an updated version of the forum - in order to migrate to the new version it will require me to take the forum down for sometime - I'm just working out when it is best to do this but I would expect that it should be sometime towards the end of this week.

The new version will be quite a bit different - but hopefully in a good way !

Desktop view:

Mobile view:

That does look (good) different!

Is it better formatted for mobile use? I struggle on my phone unless in landscape view ... or maybe it's just my eyes!

Looks great Neil.

End of the week is fine with me. I'm not planning any disasters with my car!
How long will it be down. I might print of paper copies so i don't get any withdrawal symptoms!

I'll keep it to a minimum - some is automatic, but quite a lot of manual effort also needed - so a bit hard to predict. should be < 12 hours.

The second set of pictures show how it will appear on your mobile - so, hopefully, you can keep it upright in future

Well done, looking forward to the new look, I might get nervous twitches whilst the site is down though!
