Yes the forum is working. As you have seen you may look around and read as much as you like but to be able to use the forum you need to pay.
Is there not a message that comes up when you enter the forum? -
Just ask any of the subscribers, the SMF Supporters and they will tell you its the best £10 A YEAR you will ever spend.Comment

I have been using the forum just for posting and replying to other modellers over the last couple of years. Went to reply to someone this week and a faint grey message has now appeared at the very bottom to say that I have insufficient privileges to reply. Also that I have insufficient privileges to create a post when I go into a subject column. I guess that the forum is a fee paying only forum now for any access to partake in discussion or create a thread, apart from this section to introduce yourself.
This change has not been made very clear unfortunately that it was going to happen. Just found that I have been blocked.Comment

Sorry if this come as a surprise but as said it is not a totally new thing.
Another reason for the change over is an attempt to divert some of the more... Dubious traffic. You know the type. They join, make a handful of posts then either begin to sell things in the market place or just make posts that are free adverts for their product/site/service. When they see they now have to pay to post they go elsewhere.
Also since the requirement of a paid membership most of those that had not yet paid or have very recently joined all paid the £10 annual fee, with a smile knowing they have spent the best £10 ever.Comment
