As everyone has obviously noticed, the Forum looks a bit different than it has in the past. The site owners were forced to migrate the site from one place in cyberspace to another for several reasons, including security. As you can see, it still looks differently that it did before the migration.
Rest assured, the site is now working again, having undergone a serious security upgrade. In the near future, the site will be skinned to look as it used to before the migration.
Apologies to everyone who could not access the site during the unexpected downtime...

I quite like the new look.
Does it need the time and effort to make it as was, or are fundamental items not available?
Thank-you to all the mods and volunteers who keep the site going.

I doubt it's an absolute requirement to the functioning of the site, but the owner can do whatever she wants with the look and feel of the site.

I note that the site is blocked here at Aramco.
Not sure if this is by Aramco or in KSA in general. I need to use a VPN to access.

It may be at work. I am getting on just fine at home on STC internet.

That's right vpainter...the company recently began blocking access to the Aramco ExPats site from work computers on the company network.
