GF, further to...

The issue I found was the main webpage was overwritten by a misplaced Log-in prompt. I marked the 2 areas with green circles.

I also found that by refreshing the browser all came good.

They have added a new website membership facility, hence the Log-in field. You need to join to read the articles. This has nothing to do with the forum area.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

They keep putting heading of articles up on their Facebook page, and when you click you cannot read them without "joining".

G'day Rats,

I suspect the Admin message is a bit vague. I have been searching for days and cannot find a single thing on the forum that is any different to pre-upgrade or update. However the Caravan and Motorhome main website is very different.

I reckon that in this thread they really mean the 'website that supports the forum' has been updated but not the forum itself. The forum is just a small part of the bigger website picture.

Only my opinion but I do know a bit about IT.

Can anybody tell me if we now have to have two user names and passwords for the webb site. Using my original details I have been able to access the forum but when I try to read some of Freds articles it asks me to log in but tells me that my details are already registered and denies me access. It amazes me why everything has to have secret squirrel stuff attached to it when it is available to the public.HELP. Deejay
