As well as closing the Forum so that users need to be logged in to view posts as of today, a new function was installed as a trial : a "chat function".
The presence is signified by the + symbol in the lower LHS of screen. Clicking on it opens a chat screen. When finished, close the chat screen by the "close" at top RHS. This function also provides an awareness of new posts etc.. while you are active in chat mode. If it is not used or doesn't provide worthwhile outcome then it will be removed.
Look for that plus sign surrounded by a square with rounded corners....
The 'closing' of the Forum to allow only member access unfortunately has also inhibited search engine updating despite many variations to counteract this effect. It appears that all web pages have to be fully public to allow search engine spider-ing so that may yet determine whether the Forum remains 'closed'.
