Jim Alfredson Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hi friends, The forum will be upgraded to the new Invision software this Saturday, November 5th. I do not have an exact time yet, but during that time the board will be inaccessible. I'm guessing it will take about four hours. The gentleman I hired to do it lives in Italy, so it will probably be late East Coast time, like 2am or 3am. I'll update this thread with more info as I get it. When the board comes back up it will look quite different and wont' be themed correctly, as this current theme is incompatible with the new software. It will take me a bit to get a new theme up and running, but at least the board itself will be functional and much more secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Can we eventually have the official board rules readily available for all to reference? That would be sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 How’d you find the guy in Italy to do the upgrade? Was he recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found him in the developers section on the official Invision Board forum. He had tens of thousands of good ratings, so I believe he's trustworthy. Way better than the first guy that reached out and wanted Bitcoin only. LOL! Yeah right buddy. 50 minutes ago, JSngry said: Can we eventually have the official board rules readily available for all to reference? That would be sweet! Are they not currently?

Teasing the Korean Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 With the upgrade, can I be digitally slimmed down, like Shatner in the first Star Trek film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted November 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Hi guys, Well, the upgrade was attempted today but the server backend needs upgraded first. Waiting for my server company to do that. We'll reschedule the forum upgrade soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t had time to delve into all the new features yet. I’m actually on the road, driving to Annapolis. I’m out all next week playing. But I do have two days off so I’ll have time to take a look around. I need to find a donations plug-in and get that installed. And yes it’s definitely faster. The dev removed a lot of bloat.
