The TTA Forum is no longer available. As many users experienced, the forum developed several technical problems in recent months after the overall TTA site and security features were upgraded. Unlike the rest of the TTA site, which was custom built, the forum was run by a third-party software program. The TTA site has undergone extensive programming and security upgrades to keep up with technology, however, those same upgrades are not readily available for the forum program and would have to be done by an expert programmer at a significant expense.

In addition to the technical problems with moderating the forum and allowing members to send messages through the forum, the security features are starting to become outdated, leaving open the chance that members’ information (passwords, etc.) could be compromised. The forum has experienced a large increase in the number of “attacks” from spam robots and e-mail harvesters. Again, the security could be upgraded, but that would be another significant expense. If members have a question they would like addressed by the TTA, they can submit it through the Members FAQ Page or contact any TTA staff or board member.
