Ola People

Assuming this is the Site talk (the name on my screen appears now as _forum_ST) All the forum names changed to a name like mentioned above.
Some examples:
General Modeling is now _forum_GM
Junk drawer is now _Forum_JD
Armor Talk is now _forum_AR
And go on.
Things like Campaign command central and rivet review board on the other hand have their usual names.
Is this part of the Test Jim posted??? Or is it a conspiracy brought to you by the CIA or Pentagon???

I think this likely a part of Jim's testing/upgrading.

Look out when he replaces everyone's avatars with cartoon characters!

I think it¨s a part of making the site really multinational, this way the ALS-editors can translate forum names as well.

That's at least what I think...

Indeed everything for the most part should be back to normal. However now we will be easily able to modify the database driven forum names and descriptions so they will be able to be translated into all the languages the site now supports (and future ones).

I will be rolling out a new forum with improvements sometime in March (I hope). Until then keep a posting!
