Forum Upgrade

[administrator]

We are currently working on a major upgrade to the forum which will involve more up to date software with better mobile functionality. We're hoping to do the conversion near the end of March or early April, at which time the forum will be offline for approximately 48 hours.

We'll keep everyone posted on exactly when that will happen.

Thanks!

Thanks Doug for keeping this thing going. We all really appreciate your work.

What Sky said.

The forum works pretty well, but unfortunately software ages quickly. We appreciate the investment. Looking forward to the next version.

Hopefully we will be able to upload PDF's. Especially since Boat Diesel is gone.

 

[Bob Bradley]

How about making a deal with the Boatdiesel folks and adding their now defunct forum to this one?

ditto what sky said. hope you realize how grateful we are.

I am another one who is very grateful for this forum, it has helped out more then a few times, I come here daily to get my boating fix during the hard water times here in the Northeast

Maybe a like button could be added to the bottom of post.

I've actively been on this forum since I bought my 43 Hatteras in 2008. It's the only 'social media' site I am on. My 43 would probably would have been sold, cut up and buried by now if it was not for this site and all the great people who contribute. Glad to hear of upgrade and that we can all continue to grow old together - better then ever!

I remember the last software upgrade back in 06(?) maybe. At that time there was worry that all of the old threads might not transfer to the new site. Fortunately all was retained. Hope it goes as well or better this time.

Uh, Scott? So who's running the boat?

This forum and Sam's Marine is greatly appreciated. It has been a great resource over the years, thank you.

It looks like Thursday March 27 & Friday March 28 will be the conversion and update. Hopefully, we can get it done in one day, but sometimes these things take longer than expected, so plan on the forum being down.

Thanks!

 

[Avenger]

Okay.

I have about three months worth of PMY magazine and a bunch of Boat US online links for articles.

There are boat-related things to get me through this. But I'm not going to like it!

I may go into withdrawal without the morning funny

Good luck with the upgrade. I joined here before I bought my Hatteras and has always been a great resource and a good place to chat. Sam’s has been a great place to buy just about anything Hatteras.
