Forums maintenance now and tomorrow
« on: March 20, 2009, 01:33:41 am »
Hi there,

I'm going to be applying some updates to the forums in a few minutes, and then we're going to be doing a pretty large migration tomorrow night. 

The forums should only be offline for a minute or two now, and tomorrow they'll be offline for 5-30 minutes.

During that time, even if the forums are online, registration will not be allowed.  Anyone who tries to register during that time will need to wait just a little bit longer.  It won't be more than an hour unless something major goes wrong.

That and the portal/home page thing seems to be gone.
Can't send PM's either.

Liking the new profile modifying stuff though.

I actually do not like the new look for changing your profile settings. I am so used to the old way. Seeing as I have used it since 2004 on many forums.


Oh, another problem is the log in feature. It needs a "Remember me" checkbox, I am tired of having to log in every time I leave the forums...

In the top right corner on the Profile page, there is a icon. Click that and it will revert to the old style (Thank god)

You can tick the box which says log in forever or whatever it is, I haven't had to log in for months

Very shortly I will be locking registrations.  Once we're doing the code update, I'll be putting the forum into maintenance mode for 5-15 minutes.  After that everything will be unlocked while we do some more testing and finish up our work.
