More hacker problems with the message board. I have upgraded the software and restored what I could. This looked like the work of a script-kiddie rather than a targetted attack, so I am hoping that the upgrade, plus a few other changes I've made, will protect the board.

The site has just undergone a major facelift and some new additions. First, you will notice some differences in the "look" throughout the site. I've made a lot of changes to improve readability and make maintenance simpler.

Next, I have finally resurrected the Message Board. The original database was eaten in a disk crash on my server earlier this year, so I was unable to save any previous messages. However, the layout of the board is pretty much the same as it was before. If you were previously a member you will need to re-register to use the board.

The biggest new addition is the Fan Fiction Archive. This is an automated archive for storing Eroica fan fiction. It can accept either files for storage in the archive itself or links to stories elsewhere, and has an extensive search function. It will be a while before the archive gets fully populated, but I encourage authors to archive their works here and readers to store links to stories they know of elsewhere.

Eventually, the archive is intended to replace the site index to web fanfic. The index will remain until the archive has records of all the stories in it, however. I still have a big update to do on the web index, but wanted to get the archive up and running as soon as possible.

Please look around and explore the new features. Do email me if you find something that doesn't work, or if you have questions. I've tried to test everything, but with the large number of changes involved, there may be a few bugs here and there.
