Hello Everyone,

We have updated the website to fix different issues we had with the old website including low performance.

After the update, we found that existing login passwords are not working, which was not expected, so please use the "Forgot Password" link to reset your password using your existing email address.

The update has also caused the ChronoForms validation to fail, so we rolled a dummy update for ChronoForms v7 in order to fix this issue, the update just makes the validation compatible with the new website and does not add any new features, another update is planned for the near future.

The forums area has been improved but is not yet 100% functional like the old one, so please give us sometime to fix this.

Please do not hesitate to send us any thoughts or comments.

The latest update is both Joomla 3.10 and Joomla 4.x ready, it should also work without issues on PHP 8.0

I apologize for the delay in this update, this delay has been forced on me by some dirty security organizations who claim to be protecting people, liberty and promote peace, mutual coexistence and save lives, while their job in reality is to coerce those who refuse to join them in doing the exact opposite of what they claim to be doing.

We are pleased to announce the stable release of ChronoForms v7, many fixes and changes have been added since the first beta release!

ChronoForms7 simplifies the form creation process, minimizes the configuration options, enhances the forms interface and performance, along with many new added features which we hope that you will enjoy!
