I have finally completed a major upgrade to the forums with many new features and performance enhancements. The primary new feature is that members can now easily upload images and files to the forums. The long put off upgrade was from phpBB 2.0.23 to 3.0.10.

All forum members should have received an email notifying them of the upgrade and asking that they come back and take a look around. If you don't remember your password, you can put in your email address and a new password will automatically be sent to you (I don't have the ability to look up your password.)

The registration procedure has been simplified and made easier but will still provide the same level of security. So, if any Danz family members or close relatives would like to join the forums just click on "Register" on the forum page and follow the instructions. You will have to provide a "justification" wherein you'll tell me a little about yourself and about your own Danz family. Each registration is then personally approved by me so as to avoid spammers and mischief makers.

With a little contribution from everyone, the forums will continue on to become a great resource for Danz family history and genealogy. It is my intention to permanently manage the forums and hand them down to one of my children to do the same.
