Hello all!
We are excited to announce that we will begin the process of transferring the Frontier forums over to their new format from Monday 25th March, 2019! This update will combine all the Frontier games together, help streamline the forums to make them easier to navigate, and features a new design and functionality! The Frontier forums are a treasure trove of information, discussion, and creativity which means there's quite a lot of stuff to transfer across to the new system. This means we're looking at a period of forum downtime whilst we get everything sorted.
The forums will go offline on Monday 25 March and we anticipate around 3 days of downtime, though this may be subject to change.
In order to reduce the transfer times we will be removing areas of the forum that have low activity or would no longer be necessary on the new site. The following forums will be removed and all content deleted.

Along with our new forums we are also excited to soon launch our brand new Bug Reporting site. This new system will make it easier for you to submit and track your bug reports and help let our QA team know which bugs are most important to you. This system will be up and running soon but in the meantime we will be keeping temporary bug reporting forums to help you submit any issues you experience. Our support website is also available for any urgent issues you may have during this time.
We can't wait to show you the new forums. Once the forums are back online you should be able to login with your regular details and pick up where you left off. As always we will welcome any feedback you might have on the new site once it's live.
We'll see you on the other side!
