New Forum - READ ME!!

[James Curgenven]

After a discussion at the last committee meeting it was decided that a new server to house the website, database and other forthcoming items would be in our best interest for the future.

As such a new forum has been created to integrate with the website and is now active and available for use.

This new forum can be found at www.mgfregister.org/forum and is available for you to register on now. This current proboards forum will be locked on the 15th of October and will be kept as an archive of all past posts.

The sign up procedure is as simple as we can make it, you just need to enter your username, email, password and chose your Regional Location to enable your local reps to know where you are if you have any questions.

Once you've signed up you can change your username if you wish, but be aware than unlike this forum it also changes your login name. (so you don't have to remember two different details)

There is also the option under your profile once you've signed up to put your car's details in to show others. Those of you who frequent MG-Rover.org will already be familiar with this.

If you have any questions please feel free to post them in this thread, and I look forward to seeing you all on the other side.

Na, we'd be charging you for access then

Also considering the tight rules the host have on adult content I'm surprised it's come up as that. Very odd

James a few SWMGFers are having trouble getting in,and 2 can't get access from work, if this is right that peeps will be blocked from forum from ther work places as i know loads like to look in from work whether it's right or wrong re their company policies, it could be big prob for new Register forum and peeps may not like it,it's very quiet over there at mo though ha ha, Dave

[James Curgenven]

Unfortunately if that's their work's policy to block certain sites then that's their work's policy, to be honest they're lucky their work lets them view any sites other than ones directly related to their work and I'm afraid I can't help them.

What are the probs the others are having getting in?

There is the possibility we can get around the blocking, let me look into this one.

James i think it was registering in probs bu ti see one of them has just managed it and got in ;D i know sometimes re registering in can be a pain but hope most go smoothly fingers crossed ;D ;D ;D

[James Curgenven]

I've cut down everything on the registering other than the required fields, unless we get spam accounts signing up I don't want to re-enable the captcha image system, but we'll have to see how it goes.

I hope it's simple enough as I really can't make it any simpler

You need to register again. You should be able to re-use your existing user name from here but the new forum is completely new and not connected with this one so it won't know you until you register with it.
