We have introduced some significant changes to our Discussion Forums in response to user requests in recent weeks. The Forums have been modified to make them more responsive and reader-friendly, and most importantly, to allow members to find what they're looking for more easily.
Among the changes are improvements to the search functions, but we think one of the most useful new features is the ability to see the most recent posts in our technical troubleshooting thread. Users can also sign up for email alerts when their favourite brand is mentioned.
We hope the changes make the forums more useful and urge you to have a look.

Spacecraft Cemetery
As ships, stations, and other satellites come crashing down to Earth, many end up making planet-fall at the same spot in the Pacific Ocean just south of New Zealand. For years these downed science vessels have simply sunk down to the bottom of the sea in a place now known as the Spacecraft Cemetery.
