Major Forums Upgrade
Feb 7^th, 2012 at 2:48pm

We are getting close to pulling the trigger on a major forums upgrade. There will be a whole new look and some really cool new features. These new features may be initially disabled as we phase them in.

This is tentatively scheduled for February 14-15 in the middle of the night. Happy Valentine's Day. Smiley

This date is not set in stone yet and we will update you here with any changes.

Between now and then, the forums may be briefly in maintenance mode as some preparations are being made.

When the upgrade is under way, the forums will be down for several hours....Estimate 8 to 10 hours. There may be a maintenance message or even a page cannot be found error during this time.

This is long overdue and I think you will all find it worth the wait Wink

Well....the odds of this going smoothly are much better with Jon B the server geek doing it instead of me Tongue

Don't get too dismayed or exited. The forums will work in a very familiar way. The appearance will be slightly different....new colors banner, etc.

The two main new features will be an event calendar and a member map.

I am excited about the member map. This will allow users to plot their location on maps and eventually, if we can get most members to do this, we will have world regional maps with little pins all over them. Wink

Just a quick word, this morning we ran a 'timing test' on the server, so I could make sure my estimates were pretty good and that I wouldn't bump into anything that went "BOO!" or "BUMP".

I took the forums off line for an estimated 1/2 hour, signed in on the server, performed the tests, and we came back online right on time, with about a minute to spare. OTAY - things are still on-track.

Cool

yep thats a whole different discussion though Wink

anyway i guess thats what makes me special is my crazy ass and my outside the box thinking - otherwise id be a 'normal' boring guy Grin

besides can anyone truly define the words normal, or reality?
And think about this:
if you hallucinate and see things are you really seeing things that dont exist at all or are you just seeing things you cant normally see that exist on a paralell plane to us?
Cheesy

just some thoughts from my whacked out head Wink

Sorry for going off on a tangent - im bad about that

We have scheduled this upgrade to take place this Tuesday February 14th to 15th. The forums will go down at 8PM Pacific time on the 14th and hope to be back up by 6AM on the 15th. During this time, you may encounter a maintenance message or even a page cannot be found error.

In any case, since this is Valentine’s Day evening, you now have no distractions and will be able to devote your full attention to your special someone. I’m sure all the significant others on this side of the world will appreciate our timing. Wink

If I may add one thing about the Member Map, If you want your state, province, or country etc. to be listed in your 'hover' location, add the State/Province etc. abbreviation at the end of your Location field.

i.e Location: Sarasota, FL

-- the software does not do that automatically. The software only uses the Country/State/Province to sort the member list.

Good Luck & enjoy.

We noticed that initially too using Internet Explorer. Switched to compatibility mode and it worked. Switched back and it still worked. Smiley

Jon sez:

You should clear your cache, AND tell all the members to do that same.

Also - anyone who had a 'for keeps' YaBB cookie may get a 'form spoofing' error, they need to use the 'logout' menu option, then log back in.

Tom,

The new look is Great!

I am running Opera as my browser and noticed a few minor things.

On the forum home page before I login the date and time is not displayed at the top for the window. When I login the date and time are there.

Also, if i click on someone's name, i no longer get the box that says 'view profile', 'send pm', etc.

I tried several different site settings, deleting cookies, restarting Opera, and rebooting machines. I have this on 2 different laptops - one I'm running XP Pro and the other Windows 7.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,

dave

I actually use all the browsers for testing, but I use Opera a lot for browsing.

Jon,

I never liked how IE worked from Win 95 on. I found I liked Netscape and used that for years until AOL screwed it up.

Opera does have alot of handy features Wink

It's unhandy when some site will only respond to IE.
