Downtime during the week? It's a possibility

**admin** · 20-12-2009, 12:49 PM

It is a possibility we could knock the website off air for a while and there will definitely be changes to the forum over the next week or so. We plan to tinker around a little and perform maintenance before completely overhauling and upgrading the site. Be warned, the website and navigation may look a little different until we decide on a new theme to compliment our new blog and content management system.

We apologise in advance to any members who may have login or viewing problems and intend to keep any disruption to an absolute minimum. If you have any problems, questions, or wish to help by giving us feedback while the work is in progress (that would be great), then please post in the usual way. If you are unable to, please send an email or PM and we will reply ASAP. Thanks for your understanding, we really hope you enjoy the results.

We recently asked if any members wanted to write any articles? If you have any, please send them over. Advertising should also be available early in the New Year for everyone who expressed an interest.

I can guarantee the forum will break if I lend a hand with this upgrade. Better left to a professional... like you I reckon

So thanks for offering.

The site was offline for around 90 minutes last night during the upgrade. Sorry if anyone was met with the "Shop closed" notice.

What you see isnt the finished article, we have yet to mess around with themes, colourschemes and activate a blog. Sadly a few of our modifications such as the Thanks button and Forum Stats were lost but will make a reappearance. Thankfully the forum still works, but we need a few articles and blogs to fill some empty space our extension created. For anyone who asked, advertising space should be available in early January.

I'm off now until boxing day, so if you have any problems PM the admin with all your moans, groans, aches, pains and troubles because I will be too drunk to care, probably.
