Hello! 😃 If you’re a new user, welcome to our forum 👋 This is a place to ask questions and get help. Please feel free to **Sign Up** and create an account if you’d like to make a post, and be sure to use the search feature to look for existing answers to your questions. **Looking for an invite code? Please read below!** Unfortunately our forums have been accosted by a huge volume of spam bots so we’ve had to put several measures in place to restrict sign ups and moderate first posts. When asked for an invite code, please input: the name of the animal this software is based on (gibbon), followed by the current year as four-digits (2026), with no spaces or other characters. If that doesn’t work, we’d be happy to send you an invite by email, please contact us at support (at) gibbonedu (dot) org * * * 👉 **If you’re a returning user** , welcome back! We’ve switched to using Discourse for our forums. Luckily, we we’re able to migrate all the original posts, categories and users. However, passwords were _not_ migrated. Before you can login again you’ll need to click Login and choose the **Forgot Password** option. ---

Hi there! I just registered and your tutorial how to get the invite code, or the internal code checking it, should be updated as it won’t work with ‘2025’ but works with ‘2024’ 😉 ---
