An ornate goby (Istigobius ornatus) for attention purposes! We are changing our servers and updating the site in order to provide some exciting new features and functionality over the next few months. Many apologies for the inconvenience, but this means that we will need to take the forums offline for around 24 hours. We plan to do so from 1500 GMT (1100 ET/0800 PT) today, Wednesday 24 July and hope to have everything back up and running by the same time on Thursday 25 July.

We hope that the front page will be mostly unaffected, and will communicate by posting on here, along with via our Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram accounts.

The updates will allow us to add exciting new features to the forums over the next few months…thank you for your patience.
