As usual I clicked the renew button but all I got was this thread. Seems to me that there has been nothing new posted for three hours but I doubt it.
A snaffle, more or less, somewhere. Perhaps its those Icelanders and their dust clogging up the internet and satellites

Active topics - gone! New posts - none!

I upgraded the forum software a couple of days ago, and it appears there was a bug in their code which caused it to deactivate.
I've reenabled for each main forum, and so it should start working again - but may take some time as people post to the topics.
Do post on here again if not - and I'll take another look.
Cheers,
Julian

It's not just this forum - I use three different forums (fora?) and they have all lost "view active topics" after an "upgrade/update" in the last few months REALLY IRRITATING!!!!

You'll probably find they're all phpbb forums, and hence all suffered the safe fate!
The update reset all the forums to NOT track active topics - so I've had to go through each and reenable.
Irritating, but do bear in mind that the phpBB forum software is free, and open source, written by a volunteer community as far as I'm aware...
