Forum re-migration
By request from the ATM, I have migrated the forum back to phpBB. The forum link is pointing to the site as of 7:46PM Mountain on 2/14/2010.
You will have to use your old username & password from the forums and unfortunately, I do not have access to change passwords. Please create a support ticket under category Forum for help with this.
All training requests should now go through the forums again as well.
Thanks,
David
