Resolved (previously a maintenance notice)

[Hawker]

Hiya guys,

Just a bit of notice that we will be upgrading the board in the near future (I am being loose with the times because I haven't quite decided when).

When the board is offline, you can follow our progress on Twitter at https://twitter.com/neighboursfans

I will pop the link to our Twitter into the offline message, but I would suggest bookmarking it for future reference.

I used to run board upgrades overnight as much as possible to minimise disruption, but I am old and worn out now and utterly incapable of doing an upgrade between 2am and 6am, so er, you'll have to put up with a bit of daytime downtime instead.

Cheers in advance for your patience.

 

Edit: This has all gone ahead now, and has been completed.

I'm just wondering when you mean 'upgrading the board', do you mean the format and outlook of the forum will look completely different to the way it's presented now?

[Hawker]

It won't be completely different; it'll definitely be recognisable - the default skin on it is based on the one we're currently using, so it will seem very familiar.

 

There will be some new features, and some of the old features will be implemented differently.

 

I'm just taking a look at it on my test board, and it looks pretty good, I think.

Initially I always find it difficult to adjust to the change of any forum, but I'm sure in time it'll be great.

 

Provided, the main features that exist here are still around for the next upgrade, I'll be happy with the change. It sounds exciting going by what you're saying.
