Today we've launched the second version of the TAS website and forums. We hope you enjoy the site. 

There are likely to be a few rough edges, if you do find any problems with the site please report them to us and we'll fix them as soon as we can. You'll find a link to report a problem at the bottom of every page.

Here's a quick run down of what's new and changed on the site:

• New design - the site has a completely new design, making it much easier to see what's happening across the site and forums
• Upgraded forums - the forums have been upgraded, making them faster and (hopefully) easier to use. Regular visitors will have to go through a period of adjustment for which we apologise, but we hope you'll come to love the new forum.
• New boards - we've added boards for plant identification, buildings, and wildlife, all at the request of members. We've also added new members' only board - to access this you need to have made 10 posts on the forum.
• New articles - we've extended and improved the range of articles, starting with livestock. We'll be adding more articles across the site over the coming weeks.
• Events diary - a fledgling calendar of smallholding and agricultural events. This will grow and grow, and you can help by submitting your own events.
• Smallholding links directory - a fledgling directory of smallholding links. Again this will be growing daily as we add more links.
• Lots more including an updated diary, recipe database and library of books - all now with comments enabled.

We've got lots of new features in the pipeline, many suggested by members - if there's an improvement or new feature you'd like to see please let us know.

So, thanks for visiting TAS, we hope you enjoy the site.
