Hello All,
We're excited to share a step forward for our community.
We have selected a new platform for the discussion forum, and we're hard at work planning how to migrate member accounts, posts, forums, topics, and private messages, and create a user-friendly design and experience with many new features. Our work will happen in the background so you can continue using the current site while we build. When we are further along and ready to test the new design and experience, we'll invite some members to help us.
We hope to have the new discussion forums live by early 2023. Stay tuned!
