Jim Alfredson Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Tomrrow, Nov 8 2012, 9am EST the board will be upgraded to the latest version. This will induce some changes to the layout (much cleaner, imo) but should not result in any issues otherwise. The board will probably be offline for a short while, no more than one or two hours at the most. Thanks!

J.A.W. Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Good luck with the transition. Hope it'll be a smooth one this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Tomrrow, Nov 7 2012, 9am EST Tomorrow is Nov 8? Or did the upgrade occur this morning, in which case all's well? Serious question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Oops. Sorry. Today. Nov. 8th. Should be around 9am EST but might be a bit later. I assume the board will shut down for a bit. Invision (the software makers) are handling the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 So it must have happened already by now? Or maybe I'm more than ordinarily confused. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 from what jim said, it should have happened by now (nov 8, 4pm EST) - but it doesn't look like it actually has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 So it must have happened already by now? I could be mistaken, but I don't think there's any change. That's what I thought. I thought we were going to lose the subtitles, but they're still there. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 No, no, we're all going to lose the subtleties...WE'RE ALL GOING TO SHOUT LIKE THIS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 No, it has not happened yet. They did mention they had a backlog of update requests in the queue, so it appears they haven't gotten to us yet. If you look at the very bottom of the screen on the right, you'll see the version number, which is IP.Board 3.1.4. The newest version is 3.4.0. For a preview of what it looks like, check out he community forum at the Invision website. http://community.invisionpower.com/ Hopefully they'll get around to it today.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 It looks like we just got updated to 3.3.4. It looks very different. I'll have to get used to this. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Definitley different. I'll get used to in in short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 It looks cleaner, and it definitely loads faster. Searches are fast too. I do miss the subtitles, tho, as they lent a literary air; this is more "just the facts, ma'am." I'm looking forward to using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like an literal "bulleting board" than a "forum". But oh well. Onnward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yes, that was the one thing I was not happy they took away (the second title lines) but it cleans up the database, which when you have 1.2 million posts is not a small feat, and does lead to a cleaner, more stream-lined look.

brownie Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Have to get used to the changes... were they really necessary? One thing I regret is that when you check a page you are not directed to the last current post but to the top of the last page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Have to get used to the changes... were they really necessary? One thing I regret is that when you check a page you are not directed to the last current post but to the top of the last page That's not the case for me. For instance, I came to this thread from "View New Content," and when I clicked on "Today, 12:27 PM" under your name (to the right of the thread title) it took me directly to your post above.

jeffcrom Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) But after I posted above, I clicked on "View New Content" again, and this thread had disappeared from that list. Weird. And it looks like I'm in trouble - if the new version has spell-check, I can't find it. That's a problem for me, because my spelling is atroshious atrotious really bad.Just figured out the first part of the above. When I changed the option from "Content I haven't read" to "New since my last visit," it showed back up. Now if someone finds spell-check capability, let me know.

mjzee Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 But after I posted above, I clicked on "View New Content" again, and this thread had disappeared from that list. Weird. Look at the left column on the screen, under "By time period." Change "Content I have not read" to "New since my last visit." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
