There has recently been a major upgrade to the forum software which I need to implement at some point.
I am not sure when I will be doing this but I expect it to be within the next 10 days or so - I will advise a date when I have settled on it.
Because this is a major update it will mean that the forum will be going off-line for a while (up to 24 hours). I will also be taking the opportunity to make several other changes - the main ones being:
The site will be https instead of http at the start - hopefully if you enter http it will redirect you to the correct place, but it would be advantageous for you to update your bookmarks after the change.
Unfortunately you will have to log in again so can you make sure that you know your password.
I will be giving the forum a new fresh look.
The new software has been designed to be more responsive so it should work a lot better on mobile devices but because of this some of the features will be found in different places.
I will be removing the blog section from the forum as it is not really used.
The photo gallery may be delayed in being transferred over - not sure yet.
Once the updated forum is up and running I will post what the main changes are.
Now that's the sort of post which when made by P&O usually resulted in several weeks of disruption and several years of moans.
Good luck with it David, hope you have your tin hat ready.
But just to start the ball rolling could you please post the following as you reboot the new version:
"Dear Sir.
This new forum is awful. Much preferred the old one/the one before that/Canberra.
Is your IT department completely incompetent or what?
Why change it when it's not broke?
Hate the new colours. Looks like Butlins.
Standards are slipping / dumbing down.
Did I mention Canberra?
You've ruined my on-line experience / my life. I will never book with you again until the next time at which point you can expect me to moan the entire time.
When can I expect my OLC (On-line credit) and compensation?
It never happened on Canberra (did I say that before?)
Yours sincerely
Your most loyal customer ever who should have been consulted first"

My sincere apologies. I knew there was something I missed.
Because at some point this version will cease to be supported and if any problems develop they will not get fixed and the longer that it is left not updated the more difficult it will become to update. Also this new version is easier for me to maintain.
Basically nothing will change - all the posts will still be where they are now, and when you have used it for a while I think you will find that it is easier and quicker to use.

Perfectly sound reasons I'm sure for all of us David. Go for it.
But don't say you haven't been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Sir etc. blah blah Canberra blah blah compensation blah blah butlins.....................
... But don't say you haven't been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you expect to have any credibility kindly spell Butlins with a capital letter like wot you did do with Canberra.
In my complaint re butlins / Butlins, I was taking it as a generic term (like hoover / Hoover), to also include pontins / Pontins, warner / Warner etc. Other offensive resorts /Resorts and comparisons to shipping lines for the underclass / Underclass are available.
Of course, knowing david / David it is remotely possible the upgrade might work, in which case my claim for compo may struggle, which is why I'm getting it in now.
