Folks, as discussed earlier during the last few days, the forum will be switching from Eve to Hoop.La. (Don't ask me where this name came from 
).
So tomorrow at some time the forum will be closed down for about 4 hours, while Social Strata (creators of the forum) do the switch over.
There will be a new URL for the forum, at this moment I am not exactly sure what it is.
https://guyana.crowdstack.io/home (This is where I have been testing the new format)
Or http://www.guyanafriends.com/guyana.hoop.la/home
So bookmark these for now.
Your login will remain the same as it is here, moderators and Admins, you will not have that status back as yet, I have to manually put those back in.
All the threads will be copied over, you will find the PM topics under a heading called Dialogs, so look for that in the menu that is at the top of the forum, just below the logo.
The Avatars that you currently have will be lost, you can upload new ones of your choice.
I am not sure if the individual post count for each member will continue, since the new system does it differently, but expect the worse
.
The test site has the exact forums listing that we have here, so when the transfer is done there will be a duplicate of each forum (I will manually go in and delete those test forums later tomorrow night)
Later we will have an Iphone App for Iphones, will work on that in a few days.
Android App is on the horizon.
You will be able to login to the forum also via a facebook link.
The layout and style will take some time to getting use to, we have been using this old layout for almost 13 years that is how long the GNI forum has been around. This will be the most significant change that we have done and hopefully it will freshen up things.
We are on the Platinum plan so we have all the perks that comes with it.

I thank you guys for your understanding and support with this and all the years past.
