Forum Update

Hi everyone - I've rebuilt the forum functionality from the ground up to help improve conversations & replying as the original build made it hard to keep track of ongoing conversations within threads.

You'll notice a fresh layout, new buttons and the ability to collapse conversations within threads to make reading much easier.

Space is now much better utilised and usage on mobiles/tablets should also be improved. 

Please let me know in this thread if you run into any trouble with the new interface at all, I hope you like it and find it easier to use!

Replying works slightly differently, where it loads inline with the post you're replying to and fills in the page in real time!

Replies can also be nested in a conversation style like this!

Will there be no more headings as found those really helpful to direct you to the correct area you need?

Headings will be back this morning, I noticed last night after I posted that they aren't showing, I probably made a typo somewhere :)
