Admin Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well, I am back from my vacation and I am getting ready to go through with a major upgrade of the forum software, as promised a couple of weeks ago. So, starting Sunday, when I get out of bed and have finished my breakfast, the forum will be taken offline. To be honest, I have no idea how long the upgrade will take, because there is a shitload of work to do. I previously posted that it would take 24-48 hours and I still hope this is the case and it should certainly not take any longer. I am hoping for 24 hours or less, but do not be surprised if it takes longer. As usual, I will put up a status page where you can follow the progress. On this same page, you will be able to log on to several chat-rooms and hang out with other members waiting Now, let me just tell you all straight away that because of this upgrade, many features will disappear. This is of course unfortunate, but for now there is nothing I can do about this. I will of course store all the data for these features in case some of them are upgraded and made compatible with the latest forum upgrade. Fortunately, the new forum software contains many new and very nice features and some of these will replace current features. That's about it for now. I'll get back to you with more details if possible. If not, you will automatically be redirected to the status page, starting this Sunday, and I will post any important info there + keep you up to date on how things are coming along.

KB Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 He said after he finishes breakfast, thats a good 10 to 15 minutes wasted right there. Kidding It's a bloody lot of work and we should all be very thankful we have an Admin that continues to look after us like this. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlydog Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 My wife will be much happier while RWG is offline. I appreciate all your hard work, dedication and all the benefits that being absent for a while will bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Oh crap, now I am going to have pay attention to the kids. Just don't tell my wife and I will be a hero. Can't you picture it. "Honey, I know I have been too busy lately so I have decided to break away from the computer all Sunday and spend some quality time with the kids."

Pugwash Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Good luck. Will the upgrades include an iPhone skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I don't mind losing the shoutbox, but any chance of the 'quick reply' icons, like "I agree"/"I disagree"? They were great for commenting on posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Good luck. Will the upgrades include an iPhone skin? Unfortunately, that is not on the to-do list for tomorrow. I'll go ahead and add it to the wish list. I don't mind losing the shoutbox, but any chance of the 'quick reply' icons, like "I agree"/"I disagree"? They were great for commenting on posts It doesn't look like that exact feature will ever return. The guy who made the modification is no longer upgrading it and I haven't seen anybody else express an interest in taking over his idea and upgrade it to the current code base. Off to bed now. I have a suspicion that tomorrow will be a long day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
