We will soon be making preparations to move to another forum software platform, though at this point exactly when that will be has not been decided. There will be a period of testing before migrating to the new platform, but once that has been completed an announcement will be posted with a set date for the move.

As with any such change, we may experience a few bumps along the way, but we hope to limit them to a few. Moving to the new platform, vBulletin, however, will allow for better features and a more robust forum.

Please note that there are a few features available now that may not migrate to the new platform. One will likely be the member's Media/Album feature. Also, member avatars and currently saved PMs may not migrate to the new platform, though this is still in question. On a happy note, the new software platform does have a nice album feature members can use to create albums and showcase their finds.

We hope to be able to make the move as painless and unobtrusive as possible, and hope that you will bear with us during the transition.

Thank you!
