    Help Forum Updates Support

    With all the changes happening at the moment I thought it might be nice to have a place for anyone to report any issues they have found or would like to feedback any comments on the changes.

    Space.. it's big!

    This is a daft thread. :cool: So any sci-fi fan has heard the term "light years away" etc etc and then off zooms the ship with its warp drive and appears at its destination moments later. Now I've always wondered just how far a "light year" is but never got round to it. I finally did today...
