Hello.
We are going to upgrade the forum software very soon. It will cause a short downtime. It will be brought back up just as soon as humanly possible. You will notice that some of the items that you use daily may not be readily available after the upgrade. We will be working on bringing all of those options back online as soon as we can.
This upgrade is mainly to plug some security exploits that some hackers have been taking advatange of lately.
Thanks for understanding.

The upgrade is going smooth(ish). As you can see there are many changes to the site. We are working to bring back most of the features that were on the old site... the big one that remains turned off is the gallery. I am going to work on getting that up ASAP.
The portal page will be different due to the new software. I hope that everyone can get used to the new format without too much trouble. Please let me know if you are having troubles with anything.
Thanks

Adam, you're doing a great job, thanks!
One of my pet peeves is that when I finish a forum section I always hit the "Mark Forum Section as Read" button at the top right. On other forums I use with this software this automatically returns me to "The Autocross Forum" page (the same as clicking on "The Autocross Forum" link at the top of this page. However, on this forum it returns me to the "Home" page and I have to re-enter the forums everytime.
This is annoying and I hate to change the way I surf on all the other forums just for this one. Can it be changed while you are upgrading? Thanks again.

That makes sense. I will see what I can do.
