Upgrade to new forum software

After an extensive period of testing, we are currently planning to upgrade the software that Martial Arts Planet uses on Sunday February 8th.

This upgrade will include :

upgrading the forum software to Vbulletin version 3. This update brings so many new features, it is hard to begin to describe. It may take a little time to get use to the new layout, but I can guarantee it will be worth it.

upgrading the arcade software, to include new games, and the ability to have player vs player challenges. It will also now support netscape / AOL / mozilla browsers.

upgrading the chat software to better integrate with the site. Hopefully this should also work on AOL / netscape / mozilla.

A slight upgrade to the functionality of the photo gallery software we use.

We are also looking at an upgrade to the journal software - this may or may not happen on Feb 8th depending on the developers of this.

The site will be down on February 8th from 10:00am - 1:00pm (GMT) to allow this upgrade to take place.

After this upgrade, we are looking to add a few whole new areas to the site, which I personally think are very exciting. Watch this space for more information!

 

Bring it on!

 

couldn't agree more this new site has been put through its paces lots of new features and the transition has been well planned so hopefully the disruption will be minimal .

I'm now failing my degree because of the new arcade software

 

Go team

 

Lets go!!!!!!

 

another thing HKF nice timing thats when the open mat is on at Glasgow so at least there wont be that much disruption

 

just a quick question about the new journal software.

will we have to make our own back up of our journals or will the admins do it for us before the big upgrade?

 

everything will be backed up. Apart from White Wizards journal and arcade scores.

 

good i don't really want them anyway

 

Good, means that the badger chat posted as a comment in Morphus' journal will be preserved!

 

Long live the Badger Chat

 

You've got a cheeck spammer

 

Are you going to upgrade the spelling of CALENDAR..?

 

cough PHP thread cough

 

hmmmm.... good idea.

Anyone fancy developing a Knowledge Management Strategy for my organisation (or one which I am familiar with)? 5000 words or less.

thanks in advance

 

YES YES YES!!

 

Looking foreward to it, although I have been forced to ban myself from the present arcade for understandable reasons Thanks HKF
