HSfB Noticeboard

Welcome, we hope this issue finds you safe and well.

Happy New Year from HSfB!!

With the start of a brand new year, we are proud to announce our brand new look discussion forums.

If you have not already logged on to HSfB to have a look, we would encourage you to come along and check it out. There are dozens of new features that will allow a much more positive user experience. We will shortly be creating flash video tutorial guides just to show you exactly how to get the most out of your new forums.

One side effect of the new upgrade is that members may have some difficulty in logging on to the new forums for the first time due to incorrect passwords. This is a known bug with the conversion/upgrade software. If you are affected by this unavoidable side effect, please contact us to have your account manually reactivated. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

You can read more on the brand new features that are available by clicking the following Link
