Head's up - We're going to keel some cockaroaches! (Forum Upgrade)

[jbeckva]

Hey all over here in our little corner of the world. Been noticing that it's been a bit "roachy" around here lately , so we're about to take a quick and hopefully painless step to address the situation. That said.. plan is to back it up, shut it down then upgrade first. From there we get what could be a good silver bullet, or at least a can of R.A.I.D. Ant and Roach spray.. no offense to roaches.

****Bug bomb (Forum Upgrade) going off on probably Sunday, figure around 2pm Eastern Daylight Time.****

I'm thinking 1 to 3 hours. Forum goes unresponsive when we start. After that when it responds to you, it's back up.

Sometimes drastic measures are required .
Will it be a big change or just an incremental upgrade ?

Shouldn't be a problem, but we're a few versions behind. If anything it can also open us up to other new features.

Well, woke up a bit early and did the deed. Yep I see a few things to fix up, which will do in the next few days. The "new" feature is also enabled, so let's see how this does it as far as the bots..

Circular avatars.. hmmm...

Got that "adjusted". Avatars now can be rounded off on the corners, but go too far and everyone's avatar turns into a circle. Anyway, well heck looks like we're all good here. Throw me a reply if you have any issues.
