Welcome to your new Zephyr Zone

Hello Zoners,

NEW USERS
Welcome to the Zephyr Zone.

OLD USERS

Welcome to your new Zephyr Zone.

Unfortunately the old Zephyr Zone had to be put down - something had gone wrong in the old and clunky software, and it kept killing the servers of our host company. They were very patient as I tried to fix it, but eventually had to permanently disable the forum as we were affecting their other customers.

The bad news is that all the historical posts are now gone, and you will have to register again to use the site. The good news is that it should now work a lot better, and hopefully the SEARCH function will actually return useful results.

Apologies again that this happened. I did everything I could to maintain the old Zone, but I've known this 'wipe-and-start-again' was coming for a few years now.

Please help to rebuild this forum into an excellent Zephyr resource again.

This forum isn't currently as pretty as I'd like, and there may be a few issues to resolve along the way, but I wanted to get it up and running as soon as possible.

If you find anything that doesn't work as you'd expect, please email admin@zephyr-zone.com

I am still playing with the anti-spam controls. If you see a post that shouldn't be on this forum, please use the REPORT button to bring it to my attention.

Thanks for your patience
Steve
Zephyr Zone Admin

Can I suggest we have a section for ongoing build projects?

I was going to start writing up my 750 build, but there doesn't seem to be a relevant section to put it.

I know there were a few others happening.

Done - good idea.

I've also added a Tech Support section. I'll start putting guides for e.g. posting photos there as soon as I write them, plus people can ask for help or new features there.

Already thinking about that - it's on my list. Will need to start it fresh as usernames will have changed.
