Hi all, and apologies for the lack of communication recently. Things have been pretty hectic for me offline, and I thought it was high time to let everyone know more formally what is happening with the site.

The reason for the lack of updates over the past year or so is because, in the background, I've been undertaking the massive task of redesigning the whole site, making it mobile friendly and modernising the design. As I've also got a 'day job', this work is having to be done in my spare time (which sometimes there isn't enough of). I had to abandon the first attempt last year because the technology at the time wasn't mature enough and I wasn't totally happy with the new design.

However, now is a better time. Things are more mature and the technology now makes it that much easier to develop a responsive design & I'm beginning to see real progress. To this end, I'm hoping that the site can be relaunched by the end of this year.

Functionally, the new site will be much the same (but with new forums) & the new BEA platform will make it easier to push through many of the changes that have been lingering around on the 'to do' list for far too long (and these will be implemented after the site has been relaunched). In the meantime, thank you to everyone for your patience, and good things come to those who wait
