Welcome to the fifth version of our website. The major update consists in upgrading from e107 system to Mambo portal system. This opens new opportunities in expansion of our website that you will soon note here.

Also, we needed a system that is more stable than e107 as we deal with much more users and unfortunately with much more spam.

The most important feature of Mambo that we will benefit of the the proper integration of user membership with the actual and future extensions.

What are the migration costs?

Almost none :-) All users have been imported successfully (yes, the same passwords work here too!), the forum threads, download items and web links were migrated correctly as well. We decided to drop the news items from the past version as they are not very important at this moment.

The caveat is the change of URLs. The new ones are much better, but it will take a while until people will update their bookmarks and search engine bots will index them correctly.

You can help us with this by adding a link to the root of our site, directly to http://www.osdcom.info/. This will determine spiders to increase the "weight" of the site, and will speed the process of reindexing.

We hope you will enjoy the new changes. Please let us know if you have any problems with the new frontend.
