Forum Upgrade


B24

Recommended Posts

Unless something happens to prevent me from doing so, I will be upgrading the forums tonight to the latest version of the software. This upgrade will begin anytime after 9:30 et tonight.

After the upgrade many of the features such as the arcade, casino, lottery, etc will be temporarily gone. I will begin reinstalling them after the upgrade, but I may not get to all them tonight.

The forum will also have the default Invision Board look at first until another skin can be made for it.

Is it going to wipe out some of my posts like last time?!?

If I'm not mistaken, last time I was forced to do an upgrade and had to go back to the last saved database for the forum. I think a day or so worth of posts were lost.

This is a planned upgrade, so nothing should be lost.

Forum has now been upgraded.

Got the arcade and chat re-installed. The other mods will be installed as soon as I can get to them. I will try and get a skin for the forum made soon.

Let me know if you have any problems with the forum.

Thanks.

Yea, I thought that from a corruption in the database which forced the upgrade using a backup copy of the database. I could be wrong -- which is very common. :)

For those of you who haven't noticed, you can now go to the skin selector at the bottom left side of the screen and select "Bengalzone Dark" as a skin option. B24 got it together and I personally think it is very easy on the eyes. Not to mention I think the colors are f*cking sweet !!! He said he's trying to work a lighter color scheme to give another option, but give it some time and enjoy this as opposed to the stupid blue for the time being !!! Great work B24 !!!

WHODEY !!!

Sweet jeebus, I hope the orange and white skin option comes back, I am not a fan of the two current choices, at all. I feel like a visitor on this board all of a sudden, it's so strange.

I put the Dark Skin as the default skin. If you don't like the dark skin you can change it back to the default blue skin by going to the bottom left corner of the page and select IPB 2.2.0 Default.

There will be a lighter skin made but that may not happen for a week or two.

Maybe it is just me or my computer but I find the Bengalszone Dark to be almost unreadable.

It is too dark and the text seems to be too small even though I think that it is actually the same size as before.

It's not you. Talk to anyone in printing/publishing/graphic design etc. and they will tell you that reverse type (white on a black background) is harder to read than black-on-white. That said it's a pretty cool skin.
