We’ll be carrying out a major forum update next Tuesday, during which the site and forums will be offline for a few hours while the work is completed.

This isn’t a routine update... it’s a significant step forward for our humble platform and one that we believe will be genuinely transformative in how the forums are used and experienced.

There's no exact time planned for the upgrade, but please expect some temporary downtime while we implement the changes.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

It's just a matter of resubscribing to notifications for some members.

I've checked and your account was one of those randomly affected.

The good news is you can easily find all the topics and posts you were following and resubscribe using the steps below:

Apologies for the inconvenience.

As part of the behind the scenes work, we're hoping to introduce new features to the site in the next two weeks that will make finding topics much easier because the current search functionality isn't great.

Could someone please explain why frequently, when I click on the link provided, am I just taken to to the Air Source Heat Pump opening page rather than the specific item? Is there a time limit on it functioning?

It is rather frustrating having to then search for the item

Over the past five years our forums have grown into one of the UK’s largest homeowner knowledge bases on heat pumps, renewable heating and renewables, with thousands of real installations discussed, problems diagnosed, systems optimised and lessons learned.

The next evolution is about to begin.

In the coming weeks we’ll be introducing a major upgrade to the forums that will fundamentally change how people access and learn from this knowledge. Five years of community insight on commissioning issues, heat loss debates, system optimisation and real performance data will become far easier to explore, understand and use.

The goal is simple... help homeowners and consumers make better decisions and strengthen the knowledge infrastructure supporting the UK’s transition to heat pumps and renewable energy.

This is going to be a big step forward for the community.

More details soon. 👀

When you grow a forum, it becomes harder to shift from one software to another. The Wordpress forum you use now (wpforo) is ok and easy to get going, but once you start to grow, it's very limiting especially when it comes to moderation tools. I suggest running some trials with potential alternatives and do test migrations to see how this would work. This might save some headaches later...
