Sometime this weekend I'm going to upgrade the forum to the latest release. As always, expect the unknown when upgrading.
The forum gets backed up every night at midnight so the most anyone would lose would be from after that time. Hopefully...  [smiley=whistle.gif]


Wish me luck and a minimum of "problems". :

Luck and a minimum of problems to you!

I don't think that would catch on as a greetings card message

Heaven forbid should anything ever go smoothly or correctly. :
Waiting on an answer from at their forum (yabb forum support) to see why the conversion dies on me. *sigh*

So, if there's a problem with your forum, you go to a forum forum?

What if there's a problem with the forum forum?  Is there a forum forum forum?

Did you make the appropriate sacrifices?  Burning CPU's on the altar?  I didn't think so....  Now how do expect computers to work properly without the appropriate reverance?   [smiley=nono.gif]

Burning CPUs is so outdated! It is commonly accepted practice nowadays just to make a direct donation to Microsoft through PayPal.

They've changed their setup script to help with big boards like ours and I'll be putting the forum in maintenance mode again to try the conversion again sometime today or tonight.

Wish me luck again! And this time make the appropriate sacrifices!!

Still working on the conversion issue. I think I'm making the yabb devs. want to pull their hair out.


Anyway, the forum will be going up and down over the next few days.

When we get a full conversion, there is a possibility that a few hours of posts might not make it through. This may not happen. Don't know. When I get a full converison, I'm running with it!

I was wondering what happened.  This is the first I've been able to log on since last night.  At least now I know what's happening.  I was afraid everyone was abducted by aliens.  Good luck with it, Val!

Oh, and there's no pressure.  Just think of those million visitors just waiting.. waiting... waiting...

[highlight]As you can see, we have upgraded the JA+ Forum!![/highlight]   [smiley=music.gif]

I'm sure we'll need to do some fine tuning over the next couple of weeks so please let me know anything you see that doesn't work properly.

Issues:
1) Private Messages (PMs) - during the conversion, the existing PMs in your inbox, outbox, and storage will be in reverse sort order. There's nothing really I can do about that (it's a known issue of the developers). However, all new PMs you receive will be received and stored in the proper order.
2) My signature did not convert. I see many others' that have but check just in case.

There are several new features in this version of the forum that you can either read about in User Help or you can find out about by expermentation! [smiley=devil_smiley_grintail.gif]

We've also changed the post numbers needed for the Member Groups (Guru, Schattenthingy, Private Investigator, etc). And there are new pretty stars!!


I hope everyone enjoys the new forum and features and again, please let me know if you see any problems, errors, etc.

[edit]
[size=14]Happy Foruming!

You really HAVE been busy. Kudos! 8-)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!!!

Wow, I didn't really think about how much this forum is part of my daily routine until it was down for a couple days! I'm used to leaving the forum up in the background while I browse, and/or watch TV. And not being able to do that was like having an itch you can't scratch. (Er, bad example.)

Cool new features!  [smiley=cool.gif] It's all so new and shiny....I hesitate to use anything for fear of mussing something up.  :

I just posted in the thread Aya started in Off Topic, but it bears repeating here.  You did a wonderful job, Val!  Everything, like those handy-dandy buttons at the bottom of the page, is very user friendly, and the Adventure Game icons make me smile.  Thanks for all your hard work!
