:yay:
Great fantastic wonderful news! I've just signed off on our new forum design ( :boobies: ) and it has moved to coding. This process should take about 5-7 days and then we will be ready for 1) upgrade and 2) a whole new look!
Upgrade
We are currently running what is now an antiquated version of vBulletin. Our version is 3.6.8, the current version is 3.8.1. This will not only keep us up to date on security but will also bring us shiny new features like being able to design your profile page, form a 'social group' (like a mini forum), and have your own photo album connected to your profile.
With the upgrade, I am also updating the flash chat software so that hopefully it will work for the people it doesn't work for now. I'm also removing the vbJournals application and going to vBlogs. VBlog is a more robust blogging add-on that I think you'll enjoy much better. I am not sure that I can migrate entries, so please start saving the entries you want to keep!
New Look
We'll be getting rid of the current front page in lieu of a specially designed word press page that will be home to articles and snippets that will give interested parties an idea of what we talk about here, with its main focus to be driving traffic to the forums.
Our new forum design will be light, feminine, sophisticated without being girly. Our current theme is nice but is rich and 'fall' like. It also isn't compatible with 3.8.1 so it has to go.
I do not have our upgrade or our new skin install scheduled. I will update when I do and give you plenty of time to be elsewhere!
