Hello, welcome back!
You may have noticed the forums are looking a tad different to the last time you visited - this is because we have changed the forum software from vBulletin (old) a new platform called Xenforo.
The reason I did this is because Xenforo is superior and easier to use than vBulletin. You'll find viewing the boards is quicker, posting is easier and there are generally more features to get your hands on.
Right now the new software is out-of-the-box, and this is why it's looking very blue. In the coming weeks it will be getting a new lick of paint to make it look more like the 'Behind Big Brother' you're used to.
Other than that, the new forums should operate largely similar to the old ones. If you encounter any problems, please post them in this thread with as much detail as possible so I can investigate.
A note about emails: For the past six months we've been having issues with people not receiving forum emails (to register, reset passwords, get notifications of updated threads etc). I'm working hard to get this fixed. If you request an email from the forums and it doesn't arrive (and isn't in your junk mail folder) please let me know!
