This forum (just tech support) is now auto-pruned which means that topics will be removed after a certain number of days and when views drop.

This is intended to keep these forums clear so that new issues don't get lost and old/solved issues get removed but for some reason it has not been working for a number of years. Some how it has restarted itself so this is why the forum is suddenly clear. This also seems to have solved some of the performance and hanging on posting issues on the forums.

I will keep an eye on posts and any solutions that may be of help to others will be added to a sticky.
