Scheduled Forum Upgrade

[administrator]

The forum will be closed for all posts starting at 10:00AM tomorrow - Wednesday January 5th. We are upgrading the forum software to the latest version which will provide some fixes to existing issues (like spell check and the use of icons) and include some additional features. Hopefully it will only be down for a couple of hours at most.

Thanks

Thanks, Doug for taking this on!

The spellchecker will get heavy use I suspect (and I hope).

OK- after several hours and learning where the pitfalls are in this upgrade, we decided to back up and punt.

There are apparently some issues that we are going to have to work out between the new PhotoPost (gallery) and the new version of vBulletin.

We've restored the forum back to where it was this morning.

I will let you know when are going to try it again - hopefully by the end of the week.

I do want to take this opportunity, however, to compliment everyone on how well they got along this afternoon - I didn't get a single PM or email complaint all day!
