Maintenance and Chaos...
 
Due to it being thanksgiving holidays here in the good old US of A right now, I may get time to upgrade the forum software. I've done a fair bit of prep work so hopefully when I do pull the plug, the site shouldn't be down for more than about 8 hours! :eek:

I plan to start this tomorrow evening (Saturday 24th Nov), at around 22:00 UK time (maybe earlier, maybe not then at all).

I will warn you now, when the site comes back, it shall have some differences, and I'm sure 90% of you will hate it. But, needs must and I just have to get us onto some more up to date software :D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 
90% of us Roy....don't you want to upgrade that estimate to 95%(sorry, I couldn't resist) :D

thats a bit short notice, it doesn't give me time to get sedatives to cope without the site not being there.

Ok, we are back! I couldn't go through with the super duper total change upgrade, I just didn't have the style right yet. However all the forum/gallery/blogs etc have been updated and some small changes made.
Let me know what problems you have and I'll try to get them sorted out this week. The gallery could have lots of problems, as I've upgraded it from it's 3 year old version! :eek:

So, are we now seeing the end of karma? Although the symbol is still there under peoples user names and it still works, when viewing your own profile no mention of karma points.
Has the new Like taken over?
Or is it because the link for 'my profile' has been removed and we now must use 'your profile' under quick links, or have I not yet found where the link has been moved to?
What a wonderful day for the site, no more bitching karma threads started by the ignorant that feel hard done by.

I'm just glad the likes aren't linked to FB....you know the kind of thing 'like me on FB'.

I was a bit perturbed when I tried to have a few minutes on here last night and the site was noted as 'undergoing essential maintenance'.
I was worried about what I might find when I logged on this morning(especially as I am part of the misunderstood 95%:)).......but I am pleasantly pleased Roy.
I think major changes done in stages, are perhaps a bit less of a challenge to us.
Thank you Roy, for your sterling work.
I really do appreciate it......and I'm sure that i am not the only one.

Sad to say, I've found the my profile link, it was staring me in the face, under your notifications.

So karma points still in use I'm afraid.

Don't like the red,how do I switch back to the blue which I used to have and found it much easier on the eyes.

Try the small box bottom of Home Page Les.

That box switches to a simple format as well as blue,I simply want blue.

If you use Firefox and an add on called 'no squint' you can set webpages to a colour scheme of your choice..

To test if it works here, I am now viewing this with white lettering on a mid grey background.

I notice nobody has complained about the demise of the chatroom.
Well, it was fun a few years ago, times change we now have Facebook & twitter to take it's place.
On the plus side, now it's gone it may be easier to access AccyWeb, in libraries and hospitals, for some reason any site with a chatroom was never allowed low level access.
Perhaps jay will let us know next time he's on holiday?

Now that the gallery is back in action will you be starting the 'photo competition again Mick? After all, you have all those dodgy flash drives you need to get rid of as prizes.

Not yet there is still a restriction that Roy needs to sort out
although members should be able to upload to the gallery providing all photos are under 1.6 meg file size

Just a little pedantic niggle. Whoever has authority of the site administration could they please note that it is 'referred', not 'reffered'.

Is on the information about registration before you log in .. :)

I'm sure a high level investigation shall now take place to find the culprit of such an error, how dare they make such a mistake!
I do hope you get a personal apology from the culprit, it must have ruined your enjoyment of the site over the years to have such a niggling mistake placed before your perfect self.
Or
You could have just P.M.'d a mod that would have been helpful.

Indeed, Less, I feel great empathy for her, however, have taken a little time out to search for an alternative medicinal antidote :

ACONITUM NAPELLUS
Especially useful in psychic shock, that resulting from great fright or fear.
