If by that you mean the complaints will be ignored and the complainers threatened like the last debacle then Future's future doesn't bode well IMHO.

Obviously I don't mean that. If complaints are posted here they will be followed up by PM or e-mail.

Not being a techie does this mean it will be provided by the forum or should be generally available from the internet?
It seems a great shame that all the accumulated knowledge that has been shared in forums is to be lost again. Copying threads is no good when you think of an earlier thread that you could have referred to but now is lost. It happened when DCMag became Photoradar and I think that is why much of the "feel" of DCMag vanished with the new site, certainly in the early days.
Please tell me I'm wrong and that it is possible for old threads to be accessed!

If you look one page back, you'll see,

OOps! Missed that, thanks Lurkalot. I am both embarrased and reassured.

They had an expiry date of the 15th November, looks like it has gone the same way as the rapture

Thanks WM, I checked the announcement settings just after I posted and noticed it was set to expire on the 15th.

You'd have thought they'd have left it up until the switchover though, as anyone visiting between the 15th, and the actual switchover date won't have a clue what's going on.

That said, I read it, and still don't have a clue what's going on..

Thanks to whoever put the announcement back up.
