    Hi Mods,

    I seem to be having problems with the Forum for the past day or so.
    I can't get into any of the sections at the bottom. For eg the Classfieds, and General Discussion, or Site Feedback

    Also, the Book sections seems to have disappeared.

    Thanks
    Sirius

    Hi Sirius,

    You have to click on the little + button on the right to open them. Not sure about the book section, i'll go and have a look for it:)

    That's the thing. I can access the site feedback area.

    If there are problems, perhaps a banner as you log on, saying "there are issues that are being dealt with" might be helpful?

    Red Arrow = Showing where you can find the toggle
    Blue Arrow = Shows the "new post/unread" notifier for child forums
    Orange arrow shows where to click to view the section in a closer to "old style manner"

    I wonder if, given that existing users who know that the Sub Forums "exist" didn't find them easily, whether new users will realise that there are sub forums to be found?

      I agree with this. I have been a member before, lost password, blah blah and signed back on v recently just days before all changed.. When trying to open the Sponsors sub menu I kept clicking on the word Sponsors which seems logical to me since it is clickable but gives you zilch (I originally thought it was because the site was being updated that these sections hadn't been populated yet ....), not realising for quite a while there was the little and I think too obscure + in the right hand corner obscured by the graphic when I found a query about it on another thread. I consider myself pretty net savvy but perhaps I'm just losing it :)

      ps. I keep getting a posting error too.
