Well obviously the forum has really changed in appearance! Some of you maybe not be seeing the changes and that is fine.
As it turns out, when the forum was updated a couple of weeks ago, it allowed spambots to register and flood the place.
To stop this I implemented a security question. For some reason with the old look of the forum, the question would not show. Therefore legit users could not register.
All should be good now...
If you are having a hard time adjusting to this look you can go back to the old look by changing which style you use in the user control panel.
to do this, click on "user control panel" (above) then click on the board preferences tab, then select "prosilver" where is says My Board Style
