Server Move planned for 6:00pm tonight

[Cooler]

The site is being upgraded at 6:00 tonight. It should be down for around 1 hour to allow us to convert to the new forum.

[YODA]

Right - may as well go out for a while...

MsDonalds here we come :D

C'yall laterz on the new MAP :D

[hongkongfuey]

The server is now (half) live. We had to bring the site upgrade forward by 2 weeks due to the problems we have been experiencing with the database, so please bear with us whilst we get the rest of the site online.

Home page, forums, calendar and arcade should all be OK. Let us know if you have a problem on any of these sections.

We are working on getting the rest of the site functional, but thought the current members would appreciate having most of it back up and running as soon as possible!

[Spike]

Thank god it`s back up, I thought I`d have to get a real life for a minute there

[Cain]

Only the quick reply seems to be missing.....but otherwise the new look rocks :D

Looks pretty good so far from a "new look" perspective.

Is the home page finished? Looks very sparse compared to the old one with much less functionality. I like the lastest threads box and used it a lot. Also the link to who's online is something I used a lot directly from the homepage.

[YODA]

I've just had a look with my web designer hat on. Code looks tidy - just one MAJOR comment though....

ALT TAGS!!!!!

An oversight maybe?

[hongkongfuey]

alt tags and quick reply should be sorted in next few days. Thanks guys, let us know if you notice anything else.

[Cain]

Just one thing though.....the links to other sites don't work from MAP....

|Cain|

[hongkongfuey]

Photo's, Clubs, Links should now all be working. There is also a new 'journal' button in the forum. Feel free to 'have a play' with it!

Still a lot of work to do, in particular the Magazine section. Let us know if you guys notice anything else missing.

[WhiteWizard]

the journal bit is pretty cool nice addition

[Saz]

The links button on the top of the page seems to be making an error (could be my browser, its Opera)

The links still don't seem to work either?

I'm hoping that will return too :D

[morphus]

I agree i would definately like that feature back - as it is at the mo' theres too much to plow through!

Please bring it back.:)

[Cain]

Yeah, it's fun to see titles like 'moderation' and 'WOTD problems' makes me want to know wat you guys are discussin' about us in there :D

|Cain|

[morphus]

In fact i'd like to see most of the features from the original front page back on it......anyone else agree??

Apologies if thats the plan anyway , not trying to start a revolt.:o

Definately :D

Hi all thanks for the feedback. As I have said this is a work in progress due to the fact we had to bring the move forward. In all honesty we were not really ready for it but felt we had to do something due to all the down time we were getting. The front page is just a stand in at the moment, there will be a new one coming soon, so please bear with us over the next week or two till we get everything back in working order.

Keep those opinions coming though :)

Sounds great - thanks for all your hard work & more to come! :D

[morphus]

Looking good MAP!
:cool:

Missing 'Stats' & 'Who's Online' at the moment.

[Cain]

Who's online is 'online users' click on that, it's there :)

Dunno about stats though...

|Cain|

[hongkongfuey]

Well spotted Cain - you can indeed get the online users page from the new home page.

We are not currently planning to bring back the stats page.

[Andy Murray]

Stats

Not even as a mods option?

It's what lets us see growth and activity. Not to mention poularity of threads, posting habits and active recruiters?

[Cain]

Well spotted Cain

*blush* :D

Aw! Just my skills of awareness :D;)
