Discussion Forum Software Update! - This Week August 27 ...

The Paceandcap Discussion Forums MAY be down for a (hopefully) short period in the next few days, hopefully just a few hours overnight Monday or Tuesday August 28/29.

An upgrade to the vBulletin Discussion board software is required to keep up with upgrades to the hosting server software. Sometimes upgrades go well - and sometimes not. When all is done, the site should look exactly the same, rather than inaccessible (like it was earlier in August for a few hours, and for the same reasons we need an upgrade).

If there is any extended downtime - you are most welcomed to write me: ted@sartinmethodology.com for information. If downtime is extended for ANY reason, I will make an announcement on PaceAdvantage.com

This upgrade and possible downtime DOES NOT affect usage of RDSS software. Only the PaceandCap Discussion Forums.

Here's hoping for a smooth transition!

Ted

Folks - I am taking the website down now, 4:30pm ET Wednesday August 30 for a vBulletin board software upgrade.

Hopefully all will go well and we'll be back up in an hour or so with not too many missing fingers and toes ...!

Captain's log: 5:16pm ET August 30 - site upgraded (from vBulletin 3.7.3 to vBulletin 3.8.11) and all looks well, so far. If anyone notices anything missing (images, smileys, avatars, attachments), or anything goofy at all -- please post it here, PM me or email me at support@sartinmethodology.com. Thanks!


Next stage will be tomorrow (or soon) when our web host upgrades to a new server software version (PHP7 - for those keeping score ). THAT'S why I had to upgrade our Discussion Forum software - to be ready for that.

Our Web Host has updated their back-end server language and this morning (Thursday) - all looks well.

Only thing I've noticed so far is the New Posts listing now shows everything as new - not sure yet how to mark everything as read. Will investigate.

Ted

Feeling upbeat this morning ...

Fixed that: under the Quick Links menu, click on Mark Forums Read.
