The forum is due to be updated within the next 2 days. Probably tomorrow afternoon.
This will cause some downtime, but hopefully it will only be a couple of minutes. In the event that a lot of other forums are being updated at the same time the downtime could increase to anything up to 3-4 hours.
Some of the new features once the update is complete include:
New thread sort options, ascending or descending order:
Order by subject
Thread creator
Replies
Views
Post order
Revamped poll system with many new options:
Ability to select multiple answers
Auto-locking polls at a given time
Vastly improved speed on post and member searches:
1,000 member limit for top posters has been removed
All users can now be displayed in post order, irrespective of forum size
Member lists can be sorted in any order
Character limit in posts and personal messages has been in been increased from 25,000 to 60,000 characters.
Listing of all users online over the entire day is now available.
Calendar entries displayed at the bottom of the page are now in date order.
Ability to add a poll to an existing thread.
Ability to request a forgotten password by email address has been restored.
Improved page jump, decreasing load times on large boards/threads/member lists.
Other small software fixes (eg "on Today" now displays as just "Today").
