Hi Everyone,
Happy Easter. I hope you are having a safe one.
I'm just running the tests for our Major upgrade. To ensure that we have the right platform for growth, we are moving to the full featured VBulletin.
There will be lots of great new features including a blog / profile for each member.
I'm sure there will be a bit of a learning curve for us all however the benefits of VBulletin will prevail in time.
In addition, we are moving to a new, faster server. Here are the steps and what you can expect over the next 24hrs.
- Running installation scripts and securing the latest version of VBulletin (done).
- Testing import from this forum. (done)
- Testing import again for good measure (done).
- Placing this forum in 'read-only' mode while the final import is carried out (done).
- Posting the IP address of the new forum so you can find it straight away
- Changing DNS details (so the domain name will point to the forum) (done).
- Possibly sending each member a new password (passwords are encrypted and may not be able to be transferred automatically)
- Logging in a checking out your account / new features (done).
- Troubleshooting any issues that may arise
I'll keep you posted as to the progress as we move along.
Cheers,
Aaron
PS - Now is a good time to make sure your email address is correct in this forum. If it isn't, you won't get the new password if I need to send it.
