Geezus, I was like Canned ham370.....couldn't get back in, then when I did, it locked me out after 1 post.....looks great Graeme, thanks for everything. As you know I splatted myself 2 months ago and I was lucky enough to get hold of a laptop in hospital so I could keep up to date (really to keep an eye on you buggers.....no shenanagan's)....it's been a lifesaver .....thanks again....I'll be sticking some dough-ray-me in for you. cheers.

As a technology Philistine I was a bit worried that we'd lose the forums great archive in the changeover but from my simple perspective there doesn't seem to be any changes other than a slightly different look. Graeme, can you tell give us a run through of any improvements or new features for idiots like me that don't understand such stuff. :-[  Thanks again for maintaining the best VMX oriented forum/chat room on the internet. I lurk on a lot of other VMX and classic dirt track forums and this one leaves the others for dead....both Australian and overseas.  I'll pop a few bob in the cookie jar as well.

Thanks guys. As far as features go, I don't think there is anything substantially different. The main effect is that it should now be much more responsive and hopefully some of the errors people were getting will be a thing of the past. Also it should be easier for me to get support if needed.

You may discover some changes as you use it, if so just share them with the rest of us. If I get the time, I'll read up on this version of the forum and see if there is anything worth knowing.

One change that will happen this week is that the URL will change from ozvmx.com/community to forum.ozvmx.com. This is so I can integrate it better with the ning site which will go from ausvmx.ning.com to ozvmx.com.  I will however add a redirect so ozvmx.com/community should still work...

Good work Graeme, I was battling on the weekend though whilst the site was in the work shop, noticed the KTM orange title blocks. Can we share the love and have Bully red next month.

Will pay my subscription also,money well spent.

Hi all,

Or at least, those that have made it back here. I've changed the URL to the forum, it is now http://forum.ozvmx.com. http://www.ozvmx.com now takes you to the ausvmx.ning.com website, and the forum link at that site will take you to this forum at forum.ozvmx.com.

Unfortunately, my efforts to redirect the nold URL (http://www.ozvmx.com/community) have not worked yet, but I'll have another go tonight.

So for the moment, we may not have as many of the old regulars on board as their bookmarks won't work any longer.  For those that ARE here, please make sure you update your bookmarks (or home page setting) to the new forum URL, http://forum.ozvmx.com

What have I done wrong? When there is a new post on a topic you usually get the "new" sign. I am getting one of the "cant show picture" things with the red X in a white square. Hope that made sense???
