CTK Exchange

Dear friend,

The current forum software has been in use for more than a decade. Compared to the current standards, it is clumsy and hard to maintain.

As a consequence, I decided to close the forums for posting; browsing is still - and will be - available.

In case you wish to post a question, this always can be done at the site's facebook page.

You are welcome to.

Questions and comments, concernig specifc site pages, should be posted directly at those pages. At the bottom of every page there is a tool to this end.
