I'm pleased to say that we have just passed the milestone of 3 Million posts on the forums and would like to thank all of you who have provided valuable content, helped others with their fare enquiries and diagram questions, and all other useful posts that have been made! Despite the upheaval with the new forum, November is on track to be our second busiest month ever in terms of posts, after January 2012.
We have had our challenges this year, with a number of features being disabled primarily due to the age of our old forum software no longer being able to support some things that we had set up. However, it has almost been two months since the new software was launched and whilst change is usually a bad thing, we spent a long time before the new forum was launched, and since then, making the forum look and feel just like the old one, with a small number of changes. Many thanks to all of those who assisted with the pre-launch testing over the previous year and also those who assisted with providing valuable feedback since we launched on October 6th. Hopefully in the near future we can say that all of the comments made have either been actioned or a response given.
I haven't had the opportunity to post any statistics recently, so in order to make the most of the occasion, please find some information below.
