There was a Forum upgrade last night. We are checking that everything is working OK. If you spot any problems please post here.

Only thing I've noticed is 'search active topics' shows as 'up-grade in progress'.

Everything else seems fine.

Only thing I found was that after logging in, I had to click on your 'enable cookies' at top of page, before I could reply to a post. Not had to do that before. Not a problem but might confuse some.

Allan. That's interesting. Whereabouts was the "enable cookies" link? I can't see it, but there again I'm logged in as Admin. And Helen in Bulgaria is being told that her cookies are disabled so she can't post anything. But she can not see a way of enabling her cookies via the Forum.

You enable cookies in the browser, not the forum.

Ian, I've recreated the experience by logging out and deleting all cookies then trying to log in again. I've posted screenshot. Good thing, this photo uploading!

Before the upgrade, the 'enable cookies' was there at top of forum. Once I'd logged in it didn't stop me posting even if I didn't click on 'enable'. I always assumed the logging in had enabled them.
