We have tentatively scheduled a software update next Tuesday. The board will likely be offline for a while and we may have some kinks to work out once the update is done, but we are badly overdue. I'll post more about this as I have info.

Update or whole new software?

[Janet H]

This will be an update only. One step at a time.....

Looks good to me!

Interesting new format.Something new to get used to,just when I was figuring out the old.

We will see if new tricks can be taught to an old dog.

Looks good so far. What are "warning" points???

Yeah except where is the "show all as read" button?   I don't always read every discussion.   It looks like now I'll have to.  

[Casa Escarlata Robles Too]

Where is spell check?

[chnlisle]

It doesn't open at the first unread.

We're still trying to get some of the kinks worked out but thanks for pointing out things that aren't working properly.

We setup a test site so we could practice the upgrade but the software vendors (Invision Power Board) were unwilling to help us resolve issues on the test server and insisted that they would only help on the live site.  Normally we test, test, test and test some more so we know what issues to expect but in this case, if we wanted their help in resolving issues with their software, we had to give them access to the live site.  We were ensured it would go smoothly but unfortunately it hasn't.

 

We're now scrambling to find an IPB expert to help us get the site working just like before.  Once we get all settled on this latest version we'll get the smart phone apps submitted which will be a great way to participate from the backwoods.  Please hang tight, excuse the mess and we'll get things dialed in as soon as possible.
