Welcome back to the Online Community!
The new platform is now live, and we’re so happy to share it with you. So please take a look around!
The site looks and feels different, but all your groups and content remain the same. When you log in for the first time, you will be prompted to reset your password for security purposes. Once you’ve reset your password, you’ll be able to log in, explore content and post as normal.
If you’d like to find out more about why this upgrade has taken place, please take a look at our blog here.
Highlights
This is just the beginning. We’ll continue to develop and grow the Community, and the new platform will give us and our users some great opportunities to improve the site moving forwards.
