 There
is now a new eyemachine forum. It's a lot bigger, nicer looking
and you can add avatars and profiles to give yourself a bit
more personality. You can also send each other private messages
and put up more contact details. You can even copy and paste
thread specific links to your friends. It's only just gone up
so is looking rather empty at the moment. So please get posting.
All of the 'Forums' buttons in the main menu now link to the
new forums, but some of the text links, such as those at the
end of reviews and features, and especially those at the end
of news stories at present link to the old forum. These shall
be changed to link to the new forum over the next couple of
days.
