Finally got round to upgrading the hosting package, this will mean we can move to the newer more secure PHPBB software.
watch this space for updates.

just to give an update the hosts tried to upgrade the servers this forum is hosted on and it didn't go to plan, since August there has been a few people mention of an error 505 bad gateway page, i believe this is either something they have changed for the upgrade or a sign of the server packing up. I did buy a new hosting package in May but have not had chance to move the website over as yet. Spoke to the old hosts and the upgrade is still in process and should be completed by the end of the year. I will try and set some time aside to move to the new hosts in case.
bear with me :-)
