The software got screwed up at the end of last week by a security update. We'd been putting off moving to the newer version of the forum so this was the kick in the pants we needed!

Please report any issues below. Please note the whole shooting match looks different but still works fundamentally the same.

Points Raised:
Karma
There is a new system for karma. This means you can upvote and downvote members. Clicking the applaud will show a vote of confidence in the user, clicking smite will show no confidence. Please use wisely - it should reflect the trustworthyness/experience of the user as concerns the outdoors and not in any way involve personal feelings towards the person.

Its a nice change, will just take a bit of getting used to it  :) Nice and soft on the eyes  ;)

Can you explain this whole karma thing?

Is it similar to a like dislike for the comments we post?
