New site: Progress report

Updated: Feb 23, 8.40am.
It seems there are still a series of minor bugs which have to be attended to on the new site. Launching just before the weekend is always risky (because of the lack of back-up you have if things go pear-shaped) so I'm going to have to say Friday's launch must be postponed.
The good news is we aren't far off, we've started adding editorial content and for the most part the site is working very well. I'm sure our tech bods will crack the minor bugs rapidly and we'll progress to a solid launch in the early part of next week. In the meantime, we'll bring you updates on this blog and the message boards remain open.

Previous report:
Hello all. Feb 23 is looming large so it's time I gave you a progress report.
The team working on the new LRO are hard at it (some will be working through the night tonight) with the intention of providing a site we can start adding content to by Wednesday morning.
At this stage it's still unclear as to whether or not the new forum will be ready at the same time as the rest of the site.
But that doesn't mean we'll go live with no forum. Instead, if that is our only option, we'll launch the new site with links to the current temporary Message Board you find linked from this blogsite.
Design has gone very well and I think you'll like the new look.
More updates as we progress. If you have comments, please do add them below.
Many thanks. David Cushman, online editor.
