Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 All, FISD will be down tomorrow as we upgrade from v2 to v3 of the Invision software that our forum runs on. The plan is to be down from 10am-11am Pacific Time. However... 1. Upgrading may take longer if we encounter problems 2. The current FISD skin will be broken, and we'll have to use a new one. What this means is that when we bring the board up tomorrow it will have a different look and feel. Some of the customizations that we've grown used to like service awards, profile info, etc. plus custom menu commands will not be there initially. However the reality is that the current FISD skin is very customized and it didn't happen in one fell swoop either - it took hours of work over a long period of time to tune it the way we want. So, I ask for everyone's patience as we move forward on this. Thanks all, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 You know, you guys can do other things while we're down. Here are some suggestions: 1) Enjoy the radiance of the yellow ball in the sky. It's called sunshine 2) Meet your kids! The trick is remembering their names. 3) Give your lady love some...er...flowers. Bet she hasn't had any in awhile, you Internet addict, you.

synaptyx Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 There will be a couple of alternate skins to choose from. Scroll to the bottom left of the forum to choose. This is called Viper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Don't worry, the skin will be modified to look like a stormtrooper detachment. True - Aaron is working hard to get teh basics up at least. I'm still in the process of recovering PM's. 200 so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I thought I was the wrong forum at first. Looks great but it going to take some getting use to... Kevin W. It will. Any change is different and we've had less traffic today than usual. Please feel free to chime in with any squawks about what's not working or you want improved. Known issues/changes still on the table: 1. PM's still being migrated, albeit very slowly. I have a ticket in to try to speed this up, but at the current rate we're looking it will complete in about a day for all 26,000 PM's in the system. 2. View New Content works a bit differently than View New Posts did. 3. Lots of IE8 problems. These will need to be addressed one by one. Most importantly we will get back to a silver/gray color palette that we all know and love. Black may be fine for other dets, but I think we all miss what we had before. Aaron (Synaptyx) is working on it this weekend (and Terrell as time allows). I know it's a rough transition, but I hope this preview (of the new content site) will restore confidence in our mission here, and Aaron's abilities: Thanks for your patience everyone!

MiDri Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Can't view the image. (EDIT: However, when viewing your info in the lookup on reply page, I can see a thumbnail. Interesting security vulnerability.) P.S. Straining my eyes to read light grey text on white background =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Is it the format, or just can't get to it (it's a png). Also, figured out the deal with the PM's and 14700 have been coverted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 One more update: ALL PM's have been migrated. We're done! The main item left is completing the skin conversion which will be completed over the next few days. Keep comments coming - they're all helpful!
