Going down for maintenance this weekend

[doug]

Hi folks,

Starting around 9pm EST tonight we're going to start working on some much needed upgrades and maintenance. During that time the site will be in a read-only mode, so you'll be able to browse but won't be able to post to the forum. If for some odd reason, you do manage to post, that data will be lost to the aether when we switch over. We're giving ourselves the weekend to work on it, so we'll be back up by Monday morning at the latest.

When done, there will be some minor cosmetic changes as well as some new features, but also some current buggy features will be gone. If there's interest we can work on rebuilding some of those.

Cheers!

Whoo hoo. Upgrading to XF 2.2.x I hope?

 

[pl804]

Awesome. Thanks for everything you do to keep TMC going.

 

[Electric700]

Yes, thank you! I hope the update process goes well. I trust you also have extra backups of everything in the unlikely case that a rollback is needed.

 

[ZeApelido]

Awesome.

Don't forget to upgrade me to Moderator status. Don't want to let that slip through the cracks.

Whooohoooo,

It's the TMC break weekend.

Sorry I'm a bit addicted.

Oh, wait. Crap.

What is it that people do on weekends? I forget?

Back of the line. I already gave him money.

I can't wait to post the most controversial, completely inflammatory opinion right as it goes read-only. All y'all will have to wait ALL weekend just stewing over your inability to respond.

I seriously hope it doesn’t introduce “infinity scroll” for mobile (unless there is a way to turn that off). It can be impossible to navigate huge threads with that and try to quickly jump back or forward.

It's after 9pm EST so may this post enter the ether

 

[doug]

Not yet... almost ready to get started. I'll close the site at 9:30, we'll be down for a little before coming back up readable.

There might be something fun to check out...

 

[Cheburashka]

Back up?

 

[Johan]

I like the new look!

 

[doug]

Still a work in progress, but it hasn't crashed yet, so maybe I can to sleep...

 

[Needsdecaf]

Bad weekend to be down, lol.

 

[MarcoRP]

Love the new look!!! Thanks guys

 

[MrBadger]

Good job @doug and anyone else who helped

So for when anyone asks, is this new forum software or an update?

 

[wipster]

Indeed... I miss everyone, need other HODLer's to figure out this friggin mess.

Is there no longer a way to see just watched threads that have new posts? (Vs. it currently showing all watched threads even if there aren't any unread posts in it.)

Are previous post ratings going to get restored?
