TitansGuru Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I figure if we are going to do it, now is better than during the season. This might make a few things a little wonky on the skin but I will work to get things back to normal. After that I'll work on creating a very similar skin to the one we have (because, frankly, I think we have one of the best, most modern looking forums out there) but based on a skin built on the newest version of the board software.

TitansGuru Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Back-ups are taking forever. I'll probably crash and work on this tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansGuru Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 No problem, really. Just be patient with me if I have to fix some things at first after the upgrade. Hopefully will just be some minor annoyances if anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Okay, so I've been testing the current skin on a test install of the new version of the software. Looks like things should be easy enough to sort out. I may need to work on a few of the plugins but everything else should be 95% fine within minutes of the upgrade. We shouldn't have to worry about this again until the next major release of the board. Probably 2014 if I had to guess but who knows? IP Board 2.3.3 was released November of 2008 and IP Board 3.0 was released in June of 2009. That and the company blogs are the only things I can really base it on. I'd probably wait until version 4 was tested for several months to sort things out before upgrading. Too many people on right now to do the upgrade but I am almost sure it will be done today. I just need to time it right to where board access is not cut off for too long or for too many people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ok, the main part of the upgrade is complete. Most everything is intact except for the members online/in posts/viewing forum.I'll work that out but you should be able to start posting again.

TitansGuru Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Done. Working on an awesome tweaked look but wanted to update the default look to the new software first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansGuru Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Awesome. Happy you like it. I have some tweaking to do for IE and then it's off to the front page and podcast page. VanCityTitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Guru, when you quote someones post it's now hard to tell the difference in the quoted part and your own part. This is easily fixed I hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yeah, easy fix. I can just make the border and background a little darker. I'll get right on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
