Upgrade Update #2

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 21:57:46 -0400

It’s been about 13 hours since we started the upgrade, and we’re obviously not finished yet. The forum is working, but it still looks pretty funny. We’re basically having to rebuild the template (all the files that make the Corner look like the Corner) from the bottom-up, so it looks like it will take us a bit longer than we initially thought. We’re aiming to have most of the design bugs complete by this time (10pm-ish EST) tomorrow (Tuesday) night - we’ll be working on it most of the day tomorrow. In the meantime, feel free to continue to post stuff up in the forums and galleries, and don’t be freaked out if stuff looks different, or you get an error, or it’s blue instead of orange, or whatever - over the next day or two. Because of the delays, however, the winner announcement of Contest Corner Challenge #52, and the announcement of CCC#53 will be a day or two late. I’m aiming for late (as in past midnight) on Tuesday night for the CCC#52 winner announcement, and hopefully mid-afternoon on Wednesday for the announcement of CCC#53 (but don’t hold me to that… it depends on how the rest of the upgrade goes, and how tired I am by midnight on Tuesday night). But enough with the updates - go back and enjoy the new Corner forums.

Upgrade Update #1

Since 9am this morning (EST) we’ve been upgrading the software that the Corner forums run on (vBulletin). The upgrade is complete, and the forums are now open again. We do have some work to do, though, to make the Corner look pretty again. If you notice some things that look different or aren’t quite working properly, rest assured we’re working on it now (though we’re going to take a break for dinner and stuff soon). We’ll keep working on the finishing touches into the night. Once we think we’re done, I’ll open up a thread so you all can tell me what I missed. Hopefully by sometime on Tuesday, we’ll be all done! If you want to send me some coffee, though, you’re more than welcome to drop by with a latté.
