I'll prolly have a test board up near the end of the week for the Beta Version 2.0, the new version of our current forum software, I'll keep you posted.
It will just be a test forum, it will probably be several months before we move to the new software as it is an early Beta version, I'll need to have several things re-written for the new software as the login/authentication system is totally different. The Links, Garage, Downloads, Arcade and the Portal will all need to be re-written and I'm not really in any hurry to do it. I am very happy with the current feature selection and the stability of v 1.3 has been unbeatable, but it will give us something to play with in the mean time LOL
Time for bed.

OMG! What if something TERRIBLE happened, and all the high scores on the Arcade were WIPED OUT! Oh, the humanity!
I am reminded of the Seinfeld episode where George tries to buy the Frogger game that still had his high score from way back in his youth.

I won't switch to the new software until we can keep all the current features.
That's the main reason for thetest board, so I can take a look at the new authentication system and see how hard it's going to be to make teh necessary changes to the existing mods.
