Upcoming forum software update

We've been running a pretty old version of the forum software for some time now, and I really should update it to the latest version. Unfortunately I likely will have limited time to work on the theme/style so there will be some differences from the current look. This will likely cause Keith to get angry and confused because some buttons will have moved...

Anyways... fair warning :) Im going to try and do it next week.

Unfortunately the update did not go exactly as planned. We are, however, at least running a recent version of the software, just not the latest release.

I'm waiting to hear back from the web host on the necessary upgrade on their side in order to complete the update as originally planned.

I appreciate your patience!

Quick support from the web host so I was able to complete the update to the latest and greatest!

I'll see what I can do about the look & feel tomorrow evening. Have an extra cup of coffee Keith :)

More changes to get used to. :(

Yes, another cup of coffee is necessary. Not sure if that's going to do it though.

Why Spencer? why?

LOL

Argh, my eyes! I don't like change.

Jokes aside, thanks to everyone involved in keeping the realm online.

Remember that scene in " It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World!", when Mickey Rooney opens the blinds on Jim Backus, after a night of drinking, in the golf club house...and the blinding sun sends him backwards off the pool table.........

That was me this morning when my blinding blue screen lit up in the darkness of my computer room...

Yah know...there was nothing wrong with a rotary phone..... :wink:

Hey Spencer,

I just noticed your location...I guess this means we're not getting together for lunch?

Maybe the New Posts will stick around longer instead of disappearing. Forum looks busier this way. (maybe it is)

Ok Spencer, as I have been traveling through Quebec and the Maritimes all week, I can tell you that the new format is way more Mobil phone friendly :-)
