I pushed the portal live a few moments ago.

So now, you'll most likely be reading this news post instead of the forum!

Sorry about that.

You will need to update any old bookmarks you were using on the forum (like the 'show unread posts' you will need to re-bookmark), and you may have to log into the forum again. Otherwise everything should be fine... Let me know if I broke anything!

If you're new, you won't notice anything new.

But if you're an existing IE forum member, you'll notice fairly quickly that there's a whole new front portal in front of the forum now.

There's all sorts of goodies down the right side, like a gallery to submit your screenshots/humourous images, a downloads section for WoW patches (you can also submit them when they come out), and by popular demand a link for a java IRC client!

Feel free to suggest other possible functionality for the site.
