Yes, let's call it v3 as back in 2012 we had v2 - and yes, it's been that long since any major update!
Everything is different now, but as same as I could do it so you don't all get lost
Some parts have been renamed, such as:
Downloads > Resources
Events > Calendar
Gallery > Media
But rest assured it's just a name change, ALL the data has been imported (I made sure of that and my goodness I never want to do that again!)
There are lots of new things to explore, to be honest I haven't found everything yet so do have a play and let me know if you find any issues or anything missing so I can get right on it.
One of the big ones is that browser push notifications are now supported, so if you're browsing on a mobile you can allow the forum to send you updates - no need for emails each time
Current Issues/Tasks:
Search is rubbish, I need to get ElasticSearch installed on the server to solve that.
Gallery images have all been moved, so old links are broken. Working on a redirect script as we speak.
Classifieds need prefixes for existing ads, again, needs an import script so I'm on the case.
Members motors needs converting to the new format, it's useable now so don't worry about that - but it will change in the next week or so.

But please do let me know what you think and if there's anything else I can do!
Cheers!
