Site downtime - this sunday!

[patracy]

Attention, the website will be down Sunday (11/11/12) in order to upgrade to a newer version of vBulletin and a few more upgrades we've had in the works.

Thanks,
Drew

Edit:

Fair warning. They'll be a lot of changes to the site. Some things will be sunset as well due to outdated hacks and security concerns. I know they'll likely be some complaints about this. Sorry but I'll never make everyone happy.

Also, expect a few bumps along the road. We've got a test site that we've ran through the upgrade on a few times. Things will be addressed as we go along.

Looks like I will have to put pants on and go outside

About time........

I'll be at a Veterans Day Parade so I will be offline anyway. I had better make sure I get my "fix" tomorrow.

Oh crud!

I'm sick.

Now I'm going to get even sicker. Feeling early withdrawal signs already.

It will all be worth it though when the site comes back up and all the knuckleheads who didnt read this thread come back on and complain about getting hacked into.

Oh, and I know of one who still thinks its Martians.
Maybe its politically correct to call them aliens.

I always enjoy those.

 

[3dAngus]

Oh crud!
Disregard or delete this double entry. I hope the new update makes me smarter so I don't do this anymore, cause I sure need an update.

I think they prefer extra-terrestrial beings

I think they prefer extra-terrestrial beings

Is that an educated college name for Bigfoot?

Since we all loose the site Sunday, should I add a day for the 3 or 4 members that have temporary bans?

Anybody want to bet that there will be at least 3 threads after the site comes back up saying SS has been hacked?

Oh yeah at least.

And I shutter to think how many emails, text messages, facebook messages, and PM's on other forums I will get asking why the site is down!

When the new threads start rolling in, I think I'll use that as the excuse.

"I'm sorry the site got hacked, dang hacker upgraded the forum and redesigned it"

Rail road forum?

I just get power back and now the site is going down. Oh well, I am used to sitting in the dark staring at the fire by now.

I'm sorry about your current situation. But we've gotta get this upgrade done. Like I said in the PM earlier, I'll never be able to make everyone happy.

Figures...........just when I "start" to figure out how to use something..........they go and change it!!!

Maybe the new stuff will be easier for me to understand

Keep up the good work Patracy And thanks for the heads up.

Of course I will sleep between now and then and probably forget about the upgrade and still try to log on!!

 

[mark salanco]

Well I hope the upgraded site still supports TapoTalk Mobil app. I use it everyday.

Finally, a short period of time when no one can hit the "REPORT POST" button. Refreshing!

 

[3dAngus]

You mean someone actually reads those things???

Dang! You probably got a file on me as thick as the FBI's.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Some folks hit that button more than they post. You have no idea.

 

[eagle4g63]

There is a "report post" button..............just one more thing I have no idea about
