genka, the administrator of VDR Portal has surprised the VDR community with a long promised board software update and a new board skin today. Some fine-tuning is still needed but the big picture is visible: The old-fashioned design of VDR Portal is gone and was replaced with a more modern look and feel and an improved user interface.

There will be a little learning curve involved for those members who have used VDR Portal for years and years and now have to adopt to the new navigation and structure, but in a few days time everybody should have grasped how to do things again.

One problem currently exists: The URL structure of the board has changed and personal bookmarks, Google search results and links from other websites will currently result in a "404 File not found" page. We hope that there will be a solution for this problem soon. UPDATE: This problem has been fixed.

The VDR Portal is the most important discussion place for the VDR community and has been for years. Sadly, there is no English language counterpart to it at the moment. But as often stated, English language postings are welcome in the yaVDR sub-forum which is now accessible via this URL:
