Upcoming Forum Downtime - Dan - 09 Sep 2014
There may be a few ups and downs tonight (or tomorrow, depending on when I do it) when we update our forum software from myBB 1.6 to myBB 1.8.
You can read up on some of the new features that this will allow us to have here.
I must note that this should allow us to have a 'Like' system again!
So if you can't get on the forum - my fault - but I've been waiting on this public release for a few months now since the beta was released!

That was me fiddling with a few things.

Apologies for the way the forum is looking at the moment... Will be sorted out as soon as the upgrade is complete!

The Like button has gone too.

It should have only been on for about two minutes - this is the reason why your signature appeared at the top of your post.

If you have changed the format of the forum, its terrible...
RE: Upcoming Forum Downtime - Dan - 12 Sep 2014
It's because when we updated the software, all plugins were disabled. I need to go through and enable them all again for it to go back to the way it was before.
I can't do anything until about 5pm.

It seems I'm having a few difficulties with getting it working, so I'm putting it back into Liam's hands for when he gets back from work tonight. Until he manages to fix it, you're stuck with an ugly-looking NEB!

Not to worry though - Liam thinks he knows what the issue is, so we're just waiting for him to get back from work.
He's on a late'un though, so mightn't get it done until tomorrow.

Both Liam and myself have got database backups (obviously), so if all else fails, we'll have to stick to myBB 1.6 and not have any jazzy new features that I'd been anticipating for a few months now.

Bugger.
It'd be a shame to have to stay with 1.6.I'm actually finding NEB rapid without everything enabled, despite the 90s Internet nostalgia.

Indeed it would - especially given the extensive list of new and updated features in myBB 1.8 (including the frequently requested 'like' system!)
I can't say I've seen a difference in page loading times, mind.
I quite like the time feature now:
