Hopefully a few people who could not get in can make their way to one of the other JoomlaDays in Australia th...

Re: What happened to the forum today???

There may be a few glitches but to move the forum was a massive undertaking, that I expect we all underestimate. Thanks to Tim, Brad and the team for all your efforts. I can see it will be worth it in the end.
