Good news is though that they have been doing board conversions since the 15th but they still have not gotten around to ATN yet. So just be aware that the board will go offline for a few hours when it's finally done, and it will be without notice at any time.

Forum to be upgraded IMMINENTLY? At any time? No notice? Sounds just like the Harpazo-Rapture to me!

Advanced Member Posts: 1,032 Group: Members Member #58 Joined: November 9, 2005	I have been having a problem with changing my avatar and not getting email notifications about post responses. Sometimes I get the email notification and sometimes I don't. I figure it will all be fixed when they finally do the upgrade.

Administrator Posts: 9,179 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: September 21, 2005	They ended up having problems with the conversions so it is delayed until they fix them. Once they finally do all the issues that this board has should be a thing of the past, so hang in there H. and all, one of these days...

Newbie Posts: 7 Group: Members Member #3,923 Joined: April 22, 2008	Will there be instructions on how to use the new forum? Such as how to do the avatars etc? Or even the layout of the postings themselves. Mine seem so bland compared to everyone elses, at least in appearance!

Advanced Member Posts: 1,533 Group: Members Member #96 Joined: January 7, 2006	I hope there'll be a search feature, this time. This forum doesn't have one.

The conversion will take less than 2 hours, and it will most likely occur after midnight EST. It will look a little different, and yes Kathy have a fully functioning search feature, for a full list of the improvements see page one of this thread. Waiting4him feel free to ask any questions when it comes out, though most things should be pretty easy to do.
