New Health and Safety Discussion Forums Launched

We are proud to announce that on Thursday 20 December 2007, HSfB launched its new look health, safety and environmental discussion forums which you can view here - Health and Safety Discussion Forums

The new discussion forums are based on the phpBB style which has been vastly improved in many ways by the phpBB team. Both security and functionality have been improved giving our members and visitors an excellent online experience.

A list of new features can be found on the phpBB website here - phpBB3 Gold Features

Here is just a sample of some of the new features and options now available to our members -

• User preferences offering a wide range of user defined customisations.
• Private messaging system which can be fully managed by users, including creating new folders and moving saved messages.
• Various anti-spam techniques have been added to allow administrators to keep our forums a nice place to be, including; CAPTCHA Visual Confirmation; blacklists; banning; warnings; user logging and many more.
• Users can now report individual posts to the moderator team at the touch of a button.
• Users can now attach multiple files to their posts.
• Users can save a draft of their posts allowing the post to be completed at a later time.
• More advanced search facility.
• Unread post flags are not lost after closing browser or logging off.
• Users can bookmark individual topics for future reference.
• Print topic functionality added.
• Email topic to a friend functionality added.
• Add friends/foes to user control panel.
• Users can manage private message and draft posts.
• And many more...

One side effect of the new upgrade is that members may have some difficulty in logging on to the new forums for the first time due to incorrect passwords. This is a known bug with the conversion/upgrade software. If you are affected by this unavoidable side effect, please Contact Us to have your account manually reactivated. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Another side effect is that our discussion forums RSS feed is temporarily unavailable for the time being.

All that remains for us to say is thank you for your continued support and we hope you enjoy your new health, safety and environmental discussion forums.
