Forum Upgrade
Today I've upgraded the software that runs the forum from version 1.7.2 to 2.0.1. This is a major upgrade to the site as it removes the last legacy code from the original forum, the new code will show a slight speed improvement and a reduced load impact to the server so will allow more users to access the site at the same time without slowing the site down.
All this work is in preparation for the site to move from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5 which i hope to complete before the end of the year.
More site upgrades will happen over the few months these new upgrades will not add many new features but mainly improve the overall site's experience. Screen grabs of possible new themes for the site will also be posted over the same time frame.
That is all...for now.

Vertical it has some issues because some of the pictures are so wide.
I've also noticed things are much snappier loading.

(at least if you call it from the main page, from inside a topic seems to work, though)
Otherwise nice changes, finally a preview option.

you found my secret mobile template, it's perfect it's not showing the forum right at the moment, but i expect it to be good soon.
the forum element of the site is loading 20% faster for a 3% reduction of server load.
Not bad.

Recent topics still isn't working if you're going over the top menu (Community/Forum -> Recent topic)
