Forum Software Update

Tony_Weiss · ‎04-07-2008

Hi everyone,

In the next few days, we'll be updating our forum software. Most things will stay the same; the boards will remain in the same locations, as well as your posts and ranks. There will be a few changes to the forum, most notably:

1) Solution Button - it will be in the bottom right corner of the post. It will be a smaller, more clear button indicating its function.

2) Notify Moderator - instead of the "Report Abuse to a Moderator" link in each post, we've renamed it to "Notify Moderator" in the new version. This will still have the same function - letting us know which threads need moving/removing/editing/special attention. Just like the previous link, "Notify Moderator" is not intended to get your issue resolved more quickly.

3) Kudos - the Kudos button has been moved and changed (it's on the far left, below the user stats, with a yellow number and a star). You will click the STAR to give a Kudos, you click the number to see who gave the Kudos.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the update. And not to mention some forum software fixes some of us have been waiting for!

Will there by any downtime or just a cutover with a very momentary hiccup as the new software is brought on line?

It's always good to see the forum evolve

Great question. It should only be down for a brief time. Maybe less than an hour, if everything goes as planned. Thanks!

As of right now, we're planning for it to be sometime overnight tonight for folks in the United States. I'm reluctant to give specific times, since things do change at the last minute.
