Obviously these are the new forums. Lots of data has been wiped, most of it has been retained. As the forum software itself has changed pretty substantially there will be differences. If you encounter any specific issues please post them here. The intention has been to keep functionality as...

AF-UK will be migrating to new forum software within the next few weeks. You may notice a difference in the appearance and functionality of the forums, but your posts and content will carry over. The Classifieds will be wiped and rebuilt (this includes feedback), but will be available...

After attempting to implement two different 3rd party antispam measures, leaning on IPS's supposedly 'very good' antispam system and generally restricting post counts and interactions on new accounts to a minimum to keep spam down it's still obvious that spam is getting through (and in a...

Or should that be big fuckupdate. Important stuff in bold. Between the late hours of 14/07/21 and middle of 16/07/21, AF-UK was offline. This was the longest downtime since migrating the site in 2018 and that shouldn't happen, sorry. This particular update was a major change that required...

Important stuff in bold. Message and content allowances for new accounts Following a large recent spam wave (where numerous bot accounts circumvented our captcha and anti-flood restrictions by posting as legitimate sign-ups), steps need to be taken to limit the amount of spam that a single...

Is anyone else getting 500 errors when visiting the site from time to time? Mostly interested in an increase in cases after the update on Thursday.

Important stuff in bold. Email delivery Recently a lot of emails being sent out (those for private messages, activity updates and - importantly - new user sign-ups) have been going straight to spam folders. Enough of these have gone to spam that the SMTP service (essentially the service used...

Important stuff in bold. This is in immediate effect. In order to discourage retailers selling on the forums under the guise of private individuals, and to further discourage legitimate airsofters from incorrectly labelling their 'used' gear as 'new' (and therefore misleading those browsing...

Important stuff in bold. All of this is due to come into effect during the week. This latest set of changes is meant to address the many questions that I (and some of the moderation team) get around what kind of usage retailers and businesses can get from these forums. Although our current...

This update changes a reasonable amount behind the scenes and so I'm expecting it to break some stuff. What I already know is broken: Some 500 errors when visiting the messenger - I'm hoping this is just down to high server load due to the whole website reindexing itself after this update...

Important stuff in bold. AF-UK does need money to sustain its servers, and I'm looking into upgrading our current one as well There's been a slow but steady decline in site performance that I would like to head-off before it becomes too much of a problem - this effectively means close to...

Important stuff in bold. The AF-UK Discord is now up. Here's an invite link: https://airsoft-forums.uk/discord/invite/5Rnh4fb/ Supporter rights will need to be manually granted Please send me a PM if your username for Discord does not match your forum name so that I can give you your...

Important stuff in bold.  You can buy a new AF-UK patch using the link in the top menu. They're due for dispatch this month (assuming no delays in production) The new official AF-UK patch has been going through some design iterations these past few months and also a lot of colour changes to...

As of 11/07/18 the new feedback system will replace the old, thread-based feedback (the subforum you're in right now). You have 3 months from this date to apply here to have your feedback score migrated. This will be added to any existing score that you already have. Please post with a link to...

This topic has been split off from another to allow the original topic to stay on track. Joule creep also means you might be further from that 2.3J limit than you think when you switch ammo. Test with the weight you're going to use as - at 500ft/s on a .20g - you'll certainly be getting some...

We're coming up on two months since the new feedback system took its place on the forums. Please read all of the below before voting. Should we keep the new feedback system? Poll respondents with less than 5 community reputation will have their vote removed from the total. This is to stop...

Post here with bugs and critique for the 'Appraisals' subforum.

Important stuff in bold. We've implemented a couple of new subforums. One which has been on the books for a long time and another that's just been requested. Both are present on a trial basis and so will be subject to a vote later down the line as to whether we keep them. Please read any...

This is a new subforum and as such its rules are subject to frequent change. This subforum is being trialled. It may be deleted at a later date. Creating a thread here This subforum is for techs to advertise their services and for customers to be recommended local techs You may create as...

There are only two questions. Not sure why it says there are 3. Consider reading the discussion on this topic before voting. You may add comments there too (this thread is locked).
