Probable Downtime This Weekend (11/21 - 11/22)

[Michael]

We will probably be upgrading VB to the newest version of the software this weekend. It's still in beta and there are still a few issues they're working on but there are some exciting new features I'm anxious to get my hands on. :D Plus I'm on vacation next week and the wife has approved some time for me to tinker with it. :D

Anyway, the downtime may be significant, I would say at least several hours while I'm upgrading, adjusting settings, setting up styles, etc. And that's if nothing goes wrong. :worried: If there is anything you absolutely must have (posts, images, private messages, etc.) I would recommend saving it to your computer. We will obviously do our best to ensure there is no data loss but you never know.

I'm shooting for Saturday but that's not definite. I will give at least one hour notice by putting one of the red notices at the top of the page so you have a little warning/reminder.

Just a sneak peak at some upcoming color styles... :)

[Michael]

At this point the plan is to upgrade Saturday morning. I would like to have the site up by early afternoon. If things change or when I have an exact time I’ll let you know.

So what do you guys think of the colors?

[WonderRandy]

The color schemes are a great start! I'm starting to get excited about the upgrade!

[Fyvel]

I like the colors, especially the purply one on the right :yes:

But several hours of downtime? :cry:

I might actually have to do something productive on my Saturday :p

[WonderRandy]

yeah, the purply one is the best!

[Idhreneth]

I like the purple one! :D




But several hours of downtime? :cry:

I might actually have to do something productive on my Saturday :p

Tell me about it :brood: Saturday morning tend to be :sleep: and then Saturday afternoon is slutting but that's when the downtime will be! :cry: (UK remember :D )
I might actually get some work done! :p

Updates will be posted during the upgrade on the VB Facebook fan page...

Are we still getting a dark-themed skin?

The others are pretty good.

[Michael]

Possibly, I haven't been able to come up with a combo I like yet. I do know people want one though.

Oops. I was doing a backup and had to take the site down for a couple of minutes. Sorry about that, I didn't think the backup would cause the board software to stop responding. Anyway, things should be back to normal now!

[WonderRandy]

I had a feeling you were behind that! :grr:

[Indian Summer]

La la la... :D Okay, the good news is that I'm done and it's now up to Michael to do the rest! Don't think he's planning to start until tomorrow though!

[Michael]

It'll be in the morning. Wife wants me to help clean the house first so I'm not sure what time I'll get started. I'll shoot for 11am CT.

Thanks IS for all of your help! :hamster:

[Michael]

Change of plans. Will be 8:30 pm central time tonight!
