I would like to appologise for the recent forum downtime.
I have been trying to add the user blog function for the forum but ran into some pretty serious problems.
Hopefully all is resolved now - I promise to stop changing things for a little while and will have another go at adding this functionality.
I hope that I have managed to get the same functionality is prior to the forum changes. If you have any problems with the forum, please post them here so that I can resolve them.
