The major upgrade of the Message Board software has hit the streets. I've downloaded it and am preparing to start the conversion. I just wanted to give every one at least a day's notice before I do this.

There is a posibility that the board could be down for a longer than normal maintenance period. I wish I could say just how long. If all goes well, the turn-around time could be as short as an hour or two. At worst case, it could be down for a day. I will update the maintenance screen with information on planned duration as the upgrade occurs.

Again, this is a major upgrade that I must not rush or it could be catastrophic to the board. All user profiles and board threads will be untouched.

The new board will have dramatic changes. I'll outline in another message after the upgrade the new features that are available. I'll probably enable the features slowly, so we can all get used to them.

At the moment, I plan on starting this upgrade about 7:00 PM Pacific on Tuesday, 3/20/01. In preparation for this, I have suspended all new registrations as of now. Once the new board software has been installed, new registrations will again be accepted.
