Sadria, I feel I have to warn you about this...
The proposed ProBoards V4 update is finally taking place... At the time of this post, Servers 1, 2 and 3 have been upgraded, with 4-11 being upgraded as I type this. Our boards should be done by friday at the latest.
The reason I am letting you know this, is that The Vault is now in Maintainance Mode until after the upgrade, and will soon be followed by Niobe's Place and The House. There is 2 reasons for this-
1: Putting your board into MM will prevent too many problems occuring after the upgrade, as there will be less strain on the server if only staff members (Admin and GMods) are allowed to access the board.
2: Reading through ProBoards Support, I have discovered that, for admin, setup will take a few days, I think... You will have to go through the whole setup stuff again with the images, as V4 allows different skins to be chosen by its members. There has been some errors, but nothing serious- just annoying... lol... But, I think I read that it has to do not just with the upgrade, but with the influx of people to the updated sites, but don't quote me on that.
So, I would suggest putting this board, for safety, into Maintainance Mode until after the upgrade is complete. Yes, your members will be bored for a few days, but look at it this way- it's well worth the wait.
P.S. to Mods/GMods/Admins: I would ask for one small favour only- allow this post to remain until Sadria (who I THINK is main admin!) sees it. After that, you may delete this post, if you see the need to. For those that don't know me, I knew Sadria at MxO, and continue knowing her at one of my forums, and a forum of a mutual friend.
Thanx, peoples!
Laters!
Niobe.
;D
(BTW, cute emoticons, Sadie- you and your people have chosen well. Well done!)
