GeneRally International Forum

The forum will be moved to a new server and upgraded on this Sunday, November 29th, 2020. The downtime will start in the morning at 8:00 GMT +1. Since the upgrade is big, including a migration, the forum will be shut the whole day. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Thanks for the update! I didn't know it was gonna happen, but i'm curious about the changes.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the prolonged downtime. The update went well but the domain switch by the hoster took longer than planned.

As you can see, we have a new look. We have updated the forum engine from 3.0.x to 3.3.x, and the old theme was not compatible with the new version. The forum engine needed to be updated for several reasons, one of them being encrypting of the traffic (read https). Furthermore, the old version of the engine was no longer supported. Now everything should be fine. Furthermore, the forum was moved to another server to make things smoother at Crono's end.

Another thing that we did, we added a new section called "GeneRacing and other projects" since there's been quite much activity with people creating GeneRally-like games. GeneRacing is the most active of those at this forum, so we decided to give them their own subsection.

At this stage, we haven't set all the little details that were in place with the previous forum version (such as links to other crucial websites) but we will be adding them soon.

Finally, if you see anything peculiar with the way the forum works, please report it in this thread!

I also apologize for the downtime, but i hope everyone is happy with the update. Also a new feature: the Forum has now proper SSL-Encryption. Some missing things like the Buttons to other GR-projects in the header will be sorted out this week and added to the forum.

Loving the new look! It took me by surprise

Looking fantastic!

I had to delete all my browser cookies, not just the ones relevant to the board, just in case anyone does still have issues.

Yes, this seems to be an issue for several people. I've edited the announcement. Thanks for letting us know!
