I am a little confused about the user forums on the site. Previously, there was a link on the homepage to the old website forums, which contained a wealth of information. When I was researching something, I would look first at the new forums (fora?), and if they answer was not there, I would look at the old forums (and also at the C34 website, which is very good).
I can no longer find the link to the old website forums.
Am I missing something? Or has something changed?
Thanks.

Nelson,
The link to the old forum is still on the website. As articles "age", they are no longer on the home page (except for some that are "sticky" and kept on the home page). Look under the Community tab. In that section is an article on the C36IA Forum. In the article is one link to the new forum, one link for the old one. Hope this helps.

Ave Nelson,
The plural of "forum" is "fori", apparently. I checked the Univ of Notre Dame online Latin dictionary (see below). I think the C36IA may have a "forum navum", but my Latin is all but gone, as it's been 50 years since (in high school) I used it to the depth we're getting into in this email post.
forum plural
forum -i n. [an open square , marketplace]; 'forum bovarium', or 'boarium', [the cattle-market]; 'forum holitorium', [the vegetable-market]; 'forum piscarium', or 'piscatorium', [fish-market]; in gen., [a place of public business], commercial, political and judicial, esp. in Rome. Transf., of the business transacted in a forum; 'forum agere', [to hold an assize]; 'forum attingere', [to apply oneself to public business].
"Veni. Vidi. Navi." Maybe that means, "I came. I saw. I sailed." Let me check my Asterix and Obelix references.

Tom:
Thanks for the directions to the link to the old message board. You get used to seeing things in one place, and then when they aren't there you begin to wonder if you are losing it.
