Clubhouse forums upgrade

[Kent 435]

After many good years running the Snitz Forums software, the Clubhouse will soon be moved to the Invision Power Services Community Suite, version 4. This move will provide a mobile-friendly software base, and allow the Club easier photo posting/handling, and many other benefits.

We are early in the process, but I wanted to alert members. We've successfully converted the underlying database, and are doing preliminary configuration and testing. We will need to "lock down" posting in the clubhouse at some point in the near future, in order to convert everything and go live with the new software.

We've not set a tentative target date yet, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up. You can see the preview, test site at

Feel free to log in and take a test drive, to get a sense of how to navigate it - realizing that ANYTHING you post there will be destroyed and lost when we do the final move. It is for testing purposes only.

In order to log in, you will need to reset your password there, or perhaps create a new account. Your user record was converted, but your password was not. We've identified that issue, and have been working on code to move your password when we do the final migration.

Meanwhile, I wanted to give everyone a heads up, since change IS coming. I welcome any feedback.
