You make me sick, Mike.

[cphilip]

Rich told me it could take most of a day perhaps.

And remember when it comes back that there are size limits. Please resize your pictures and a be responsible. Or we will start just deleting all of them that do not comply. Read the rules!

[trevorjk]

RULES WHAT RULES!

This is AO we lead not follow!:mad:

:p :D

Yes. The upgrade itself should only take a couple of hours. What will take a while is the conversion process for changing the attachments to be file-based and creating a decent backup before starting.

Rich, can you confirm anything about the IRC Daemon?

Will the entire server be offline, or will you leave the IRC process running?

The server itself should not go down. Just the forums and possibly the mysql database

[Rich]

The forums are back up. The upgrade went fairly smoothly considering all that had to be done. There may be a few kinks that need to be worked out, but that will be easier than the upgrade.

The attachments are not re-enabled yet, but the conversion has been completed. I'll post again once I re-enable the attachments.

[Rich]

Also, the style needs a little work to be updated to the vbulletin 3 standards

[Smoke]

Looks good!

:cool:

[atm743]

AO has officially taken a turn for the worse. I loved AO before, but this change is horrible. I hate viewing forums like this... its just harder to read posts because its to busy. Thats why I loved the old AO, all it was was clean and gray. Sadness. New smileys suck too.

that's exactly what i thought. one of the many reasons i don't go to pbnation just to browse is because of that.

but like you said, it should be only temporary.

[Xyxyll]

:-/

I sure hope it's temporary... it's so... blue and busy. But then again, I always hate change.

[Rich]

As stated other places, it is only temporary :)
