    The Hub Forums Upgrade - *PLS READ*

    *IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT*

    A major upgrade to the hub is scheduled in the coming week. Please read on:

    A quick FAQ:

    Q. Why are you doing this?

    The Hub has been running on PHPBB2 platform - a free software - for more than 6 years now. But, over these years, the hub has grown by leaps and bounds (close to 190K registrations). Plus, phpbb2 is now obsolete and no longer supported. To meet the growing demand in the long run, we have decided to move to vbulletin4 - a popular commercial software adopted by large forum communities worldwide.

    Q. When are you going to upgrade?

    During the coming week. You'll be informed. Pls check
    the top banner messages.

    Q. What does it mean to me? Do I need to learn to post, start a thread, etc?

    No. Basically you'll have the same look n feel viewing/posting.

    Q. Ok, what happens to my username, posts?

    Your login/password will remain the same. Upgrade will bring over everything from current forums.

    Q. What's new we can expect?

    * Attachments: you'll be able to add images/docs to your posts
    * much better pm box, user panel,etc.
    * facebook integration
    * some other possible new features: photo albums, calendar,etc.
    * and more..

    Q. I'm curious. Can I try it out?
