May I suggest a manual for the new forum in PDF format.
It informs the members of the new location of each item in the old forum. Members can save or print it.
Then collect all complaints and remarks.
e.g. it took me some time to find the login button.
Its bar was white, and so is my browser's top section.
If the bar would have been green I would have recognised it as part of the forum page.
After a month or so we transfer to the new forum.

A PDF manual is good in theory but it is helluva lot of work for someone to do. A very time consuming exercise.
The forum needs to be upgraded as like all things IT, software has only a limited useful life and if you don’t upgrade all sorts of issues can occur.
I was quite surprised that Mike decided to rollback to the old version.
Whilst I had initial issues with the new forum on my iPhone I was quickly able to adopt to the new version.
