Update @ 17-Mar-2022 @ 18:00z
Thank you for waiting on the site to go up and down. However, I believe we have reached a solid point now.
A few things to note:
- If you have an account, you should be able to login with your previous credentials. If not, you will need to reset your password.
- If you changed your password/linked a social account before 17th March 2022 @ 18:00z, then you will need to do it again. Sorry, but we lost this data in a migration to get a stable site.
- Your previous bookmarked history has been reset sadly, meaning you will need to re-bookmark content.
- We are working on restoring old comments to the site.
Thank you again for waiting and hope you enjoy this refresh which is packed with feedback from you guys.
== Original Article ==
We are hugely delighted to confirm that you are now reading FSElite version 3.1. Following our initial release of the new website in November 2021, we have spent weeks improving almost every aspect of the website.
All of the improvements are based on increased speed, better content visibility and a more user-friendly interface.
Many of the new features and changes were a result of the feedback we have received over the past few months and we’re extremely happy with the results. Below is just a snippet of those changes.
We are just ironing out a few kinks but we should be mostly there!
We are working on Version 3.2 already which will add more functionality and features.
