News & announcements: New forum moderator

Good news! Sanne has stepped up to help me moderate the forums. I have had the great pleasure of moderating other sites alongside her in the past, so I know that she is a top-notch mod.

With a little extra legwork, I got it working in mobile safari as well, so you iPad users should have a much nicer experience!
