Forum upgrade: Saturday 5th March

Post by archibalduk »

This Saturday (5th March) I will be taking down the site in order to upgrade the forums. During this period, the site (with the exception of the Wiki) will be inaccessible. I'm afraid I cannot give an estimate as to how long the upgrade will take. I hope to have it complete within half a day; but it is a very complex process and may take the entire weekend (or longer if I'm very unlucky!). If there is any delay in the upgrade process, I'll post updates at www.ehmtheblueline.com/upgrade.html

As part of the upgrade, I will be removing the current Downloads and Blogs sections. This is because they're both several years old, unreliable/buggy and not particularly secure. New forum-based download and blog systems are going to be setup instead. Although most of the blogs have already been moved across behind the scenes, I cannot do much with the downloads until the new forum is installed. For this reason, I will have to re-upload the entirety of the downloads database manually. This will take a number of weeks and so there will be limited access to downloads during this period. I will be prioritising the roster updates, patches and demos so as to ensure that these are available as soon as possible.

Archi :)

Sorry, I mistyped the address for the upgrade updates page. Here's the correct URL: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/upgrade.html

I've corrected it in the original post too. I'll try and post a few regular-ish messages on that page during the upgrade.
