Forum doesn't look any different to me (but still appreciative of the hard work put in).

However there is nothing on the main VA page :worried:

Yep, VA and library aren't across yet. The VA one might require some DM input as I'm not sure some of the code will work anymore, but we'll see.

This looks little different from the previous forum, and for which I'm very grateful - thanks Ben. One thing however; how can I get the forum pages to span the full width of my monitor, as it used to be ? At the moment, it occupies about 50 or 60%, centred in the middle of the screen.

I don't know the answer to this Paul but having just been over to phpBB.. their site it setup in a very similar fashion.. that is, everything in the middle and larger borders at either side. If it displays the same on a mobile, it's gonna make reading it even more hairy than before!! :-O

On my iPhone, I get about a third of the width of the home page, left justified. For this forum, that means I can see the circle on the left with some black lines, out as far as the word "other", after which the text is wrapped to the next line. It will not scroll sideways, so I can't see the info about the number of topics, posts or the last post.

On both my iPads, I get the full width of the home page. Where before the list of forums went as far as the complete block of "other business" forums, with the rest revealed by a scroll up, it now only goes as far as the end of the first, CBFS, block of forums. Personally, I preferred the old presentation showing more forums by default, but perhaps that is out of our control.

HTH,
Ro
