Link to this forum back on ecf website?

I was looking at the grading section on the ECF website. Under further information there is a link called 'grading forum'. Click on this and it takes to straight to this forum. Have the ECF relented or is this a mistake on their part?

I was really hoping that the ECF had seen sense. I just do not understand why there can't be a proper (and prominent) link from the ECF website to this forum. I would expect them to put in a standard disclaimer but to ignore this forum's existence completely seems very petty.

What forum, I thought this was an integral part of the ECF :wink:

It's a bit like a communist democracy! A disclaimer would be best comrad.

Ecf forum is great shame the ecf have shunned it. Maybe if the forum was called something like UK chess forum then they would link it again with front page coverage. I was not keen on the forum after realising that certain things still won't change with the ECF. The tremendous benefit is the way it brings players of al standards together and it is a shame the ecf can't see the possibilities that come from this
