Well, we've finally 'made the jump to light speed', and shaken off the legacy of regular downtime associated with the old forum! This new forum is run on MLU's own server and thus is under our direct control for not only percentage of uptime, but also configuration.

I'm sure that this interface will be a bit of a shock to those used to the old-fashioned Network54 mask, but the fact is that this software is far more sophisticated that the other and offers our members far more flexibility in their interactive experience here on MLU. And it's not nearly as complex as it looks!

One of the great things about this software package we have selected is the extensive documentation which comes along with it. We recognize that not everyone on this board could be termed an 'experienced' computer user, but the many user-friendly features offered here to enhance your interactive experience are easily mastered.

Before you start threads asking how to do such-and-such, please click on the f.a.q. button located on the top right of your screen. Most of your questions will be answered there, clearly and concisely.

When you do choose to experiment with some of the enhancing features of this software, in almost all instances, you will have the opportunity to view the results before posting them to the forum. Simply select Preview Post (below) and review your work. Once you're satisfied with the results, submit it and enjoy!

If you do have specific questions for which you want more detailed answers, by all means post a thread in this forum. Someone will be happy to help you.

In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the layout and general features, and feel free to post your comments in TAC HQ!
