Just to let you all know that I will be upgrading the forum to the new just released version next weekend. This will be planned for Saturday around 12AM (midnight) EST.

Expect the site to be down for about 2 hours while I get everything re-installed after the upgrade.

Any questions, just ask.

PS - We may lose the theme for a couple days as the upgrade has changed alot of the template files. As such, the site will be rolling with the new default theme that SMF has released along with this new version. If you wish to see this theme in action, http://dev.gamingbrotherhood.com

Yes, I know it's very bright, but it will last us at least until I can get the theme ported for the new version.

I know, you all hate me...  :wink:

Fuck sake.  I've re-written this post 3 times.  I'm just going to say "fair enough".  I don't know what time it is/was here when this happens/happened.

Decided to do it tonight while I have time. The site will be bare basic forum, no add ons.

No:
- Media Gallery
- Awards will not display
- Chat may be buggy

Upgrade went smoothly, and as you can see, nothing broke... yet.

Anyways, this is a temporary theme unless you all want to keep it. I kinda like it personally, but it's up to you all.

Anyways, here's the results:
- Chat is temp. out of service.
- Awards are temp. not showing
- Media Gallery needs to be re-coded.

Anyways, this was to be expected from the upgrade as alot of code has changed from the last version. So I'll try to keep up with the things that need attention, and my first priority is getting the chat back online.

Regards,
JB

I think it's the best thus far.

Not long. This is actually just a variant of the default theme that comes with the software. Just a few image and CSS changes.

Anyways, the hardest part is getting modifications, like the chat, to work with any new themes.

well apparently I am the moron, I liked the second theme the best.  the first theme when we all came over here was very difficult to navigate.  The second one was great, now anytime I start to get used to a theme we get a new one.
