WE'RE BACK!!!!!! FINALLY...

TheOtherSide · 02-04-2010, 12:10 AM

Hello everyone... it is with great relief that I tell you that.... WE'RE BACK!

It's been a very hard for me since late in the evening on the 29th when I began the horrid "upgrade" to vbulletin v4. Well, we're back to v3 again... and are at the best upgraded level of v3... and we're staying this way for a long time!!

Anyhow... my sincere apologies to all our members... and also to the new members that signed up between Jan 28th and Feb 3rd as when we backdated the database... it went back to Jan 28th. So any posts, or new members etc are gone. Please sign up again... we are happy to have you return. Any posts made... need to be re-posted also.

Thanks again! Now I can work on basic maintenance and getting things back in order again.

Cheers!!!

Awesome!! I do honestly like the "old" look much better, easier to read IMO.

No apology needed, you tried and now you know! It was a good test and thankfully you were able to revert safely. Cheers

Awesome Kelly, I'm sure its a big relief to get it done and upgraded. I too did not like the feel of the V4 vBulletin. I'm sure you have had a few late nights trying to get this all done and you have done a good job.

Thanks!!!

Thx guys...

Yeah, some late nights... some long phone calls... and a few coins stolen from the swear jar and we're back in shape.

Next project is to work on the page loading thing... still slow at times. But at least we have things back to the good style!!

Still have to figure out whey some versions of Internet Explorer white out the background on the top logo with the flag-map. Firefox and IE7 seem to leave the background transparent and blends nicely with the dk grey... but some IE6's don't so it.

Ahh... the joys!!

Once again, thank you for all your time and effort. I know how much time and headaches it takes to run a website!

Good job!
