    I will give it the necessary time to work out the bugs. In the meantime, I enjoyed JWD, and continue enjoying JWS. I appreciate all the hard work you do to keep this forum running, including the endless "updates" and crap from the hosts that have kept the forum from being as reliable as it should have been for such a long time. And weeding out the trolls that join merely to create havoc or to put spam (usually porn) on the site instead of exposing the Jehovah's Witless religion or discuss it.

    No, you won't need to register - everything will just carry over (accounts, topics, PMs etc...)

    It's running on the same server and against the same database but it should be faster as I've been working on optimisation quite a lot. The old site is quite a few years old now and so it's a combination of new technology and new techniques that I've learned since I developed that.

    I'm going to work on the formatting but prefer to keep it as clean and simple as possible as this helps with the performance and makes it usable on other devices too (e.g. iPhone)

    The reason for having the different domain name is so that I can run the two in parallel. I will setup 301 redirects from the old site so any incoming links will continue to work as before.

    Most (probably all) of the current features will be carried over but re-implemented to improve them and then I'll start adding new things.

    Finally, Mac users will be able to use a proper HTML editor to post, LOL
