Forum moved to new server

After updating to the latest version of the forum software yesterday we began to experience spam posts for the first time in a long while. This was due to an error merging files, which left it impossible to switch on any of the more recent mods for stopping spam registrations. Tonight I decided that the easiest thing to do would be to move the forum to another server. The forum is now back on the BlueMoment domain at index.php. Although there is a redirect in place from the old address please change any bookmarks.
Pretty much everything seems to be working, but I have noticed that one or two avatars have not transferred. If yours is one of them please accept my apologies and upload a replacement via your User Control Panel. If anythng else isn't working please post it here. The old site still exists as a fallback position in case there isa lurking can of worms. The server move was going to have to happen at some point anyway, as the next major software upgrade would not have been supported by the version of PHP on the old server, so this has saved a future trauma.
Apologies for any inconveniences, and in particular for two emails in three days . . .
