Announcement Software Update Tonight 9pm PST

[robdog]

I mentioned that change was coming to Packer Forum and so it is time to upgrade the forum software here. I am expecting about 15-30 minutes of downtime, but there could be another hour or so of the site acting up while I configure the new update.

Thanks.

Is very slow now for me. Does not work good with my server.

Long way to go but it is getting there slowly but surely.

I am working with the CDN (content delivery network) right now, so I will let you know when I get that fixed. Should be soon...

Some other site(s) like to change servers---and layout something like once a month...Maybe more..

Good to know we only we only do it once a year or so

OK, thank you. I love your site. I hope you do not change it too much.

For right now, I took the site back down to the BARE minimum and will be re-implementing things one at a time.

The biggest reason for this is responsive design. Just check the site out on your mobile phone. (without Tapatalk)

I am loving the new look so far. Good to know the shout will be back. Don't know what I would do without it.

Will tapatalk support be coming back?

Yes, I am going to be hooking that up again real soon.

*edit - Okay, I updated the Tapatalk plugin and there seems to be an issue with Tapatalk at the moment. As soon as they get a fix I will get that applied to this forum.

Not sure I like it so far sorry.....

Not sure I like it so far sorry.....

Its all good, I have a few more things to do to get back on track and really close to the way it looked before the update. Just takes some time starting a style from scratch. And if there are particular things you don't like, please let me know. (seriously, send me a personal conversation and I will see what I can do)

Actually I'm replying on tapatalk right now.

I`ll re-word my comment sorry. At the moment it`s taking a little getting used to. No offence intended

Did a small update today to fix random bugs in the forum software and implement some speed improvements. (upgrade to XenForo 1.2.1) Let me know if you guys see any issues.

Thanks.
