Done. HGM, I hope the results look okay.

Thanks! I must have the ability to update the link and text on https://www.gnu.org/software/xboard/, but I don't remember how offhand. I'll see what I can do.

OK, I have set up a page at http://hgm.nubati.net/downloads.html where WinBoard 4.8.0 and WinBoard-AA can be downloaded.

Hi,

On the GNU web page for XBoard, the link to the WinBoard Forum goes to an error page.  Here is the error that is displayed:
---------------------------------------------------
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

User eq80053 already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections [1203]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.
---------------------------------------------------

Trying to go to the base URL for the WinBoard Forum ("http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/") yields the same error.

WinBoard is still very popular on FICS.  It would be helpful if the WinBoard Forum could be reinstated.  Thanks much.

Sincerely,
