so I’ve possibly (finally!) found a more modern forum setup which works nicely, and allows posting of images, works on smartphones etc.
Chris and I have tested it a little and it seems ok, so thought the next step is to get a bit of feedback here.
Please bear in mind this is just a proof of concept, the bunny and budgie are not new branding 
Ideally you should be able to register, then head to the “test forum”.
Once there you should be able to make topics and reply to them, as well as include photos/attachments in the posts.
The photos should get automatically watermarked (with a bunny) and the whole thing should work from smartphones too. It works great on my samsung phone and I was even able to post pics too.
If this setup seems like it could work then I’ll figure a way of transferring all the existing posts so we don’t lose anything.
Let me know how you get on 
lol well there is that connection i guess
..and it would probs help if I include the url:
ok so I think i’ve sorted the email out on the new test site. Now it sends through a 3rd party provider which has worked very well for me on other projects.
Jetta GTX since you didn’t get my PM I’ve just deleted the superman account on the test site. Please re-register with the same details and you should be good to go
I registered the name. I did the confirmation email link, and then when I try to log in, I get this…
ok, something’s broken there 
. I’m doing my end of year accounts atm but am aware there’s an issue and will sort this once I’m done with the beancounting. please bear with me.
