Forum Software to be updated

[Chris W]

In the next day or so we'll be changing the forum software to XenForo which will be a nice upgrade in capabilities for the site.

There will be some downtime and passwords will need to be reset.

HOWEVER - the new software will be great and totally worth it.

Some of the new benefits of this software: ( XenForo)

<UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>Social Engagement - the ability to "like" other posts and earn trophies
<LI>a better private messaging system and alert system
<LI>The capability for composers and artists to upload their music onto the site for people to download. (uploading files will initially be free but we will need to charge in the future - downloads will always be free)
<LI>Forum topic urls will be the forum topic and not a bunch of code (gread for search engines)
<LI>The ability to become a supporting member to hide advertisements
<LI>and much more...
[/list]

Let me know if you have any questions.
