Hello everyone.
1. Soon we are planning to move to a new server.
(Location: USA, New York)
2. We plan update our forum to new version vBulletin Publishing Suite 4.0.3 + CSM + Blogs

Therefore, from Friday to Sunday may be interruptions in forum work.

The bright side: the new version is much better.
The dark side: we lose our design - it is not suitable for the new version. :(

No, I think I will need about 5 hours to transfer and update the forum.
Everything stays the same, except design. The new forum will look like this:

That will take some getting used to, but I am sure we will muddle through!!
Change can be a good thing, right?!

I like it, it doesn't look like any other site I've seen! I like our current style because it's different, but I think I'd like this one too.

OK-I like it too-but as Lois said,take used to getting used to-Dolores said-we don't look like other forums-even better !
That's it cause we are the best & me have the best members-Sergey-you haven't steered us wrong yet & we trust you-you always "keep us in & on line" (Ba-Ha-Ha-OK long nite at work)
As long as everyone knows where to find us.....................

If the new design bothers anyone eyes, you can change the way your account displays it....at the bottom of the page click on the box below that says Juicy and you can change it to the vB4 Default style. The Juicy really bothered my eyes, but the other style looks sort of like the other.

I'm not sure what way I like ti better. It will take me a while to find where all the new light switches are when I walk in. :), but I'll get the hang of it. I like the little envelopes, although I miss the bold type for new posts.

I really like how quick reply has more options to use and I won't have to go to advanced posting as often. That's very nifty!!

Woot! I'm liking this! In my limited admin prev history, I've always liked the ease of vBullentin, and the sometimes hidden goodies it has to offer for admin and users alike. Great choice! :D
We moved to NY? Where was the server located before? (just curious)

lol@ The Juicy, I totally had to grab my sunglasses! ;) Are there any other theme options SadMan? (As if you aren't busy enough with all this. ;) )

THANK YOU SadMan! :drinks:

In profile settings, is it possible to upload or add a link to our own avatar of choice? Within size limitations, of course.

Kudos to Sergey. That was one quick change over! I'll have to play around with the new format before I decide how much I like or dislike it. I don't have a Juicy option! I have "Skylight". Anyone else have it?

I deleted juicy, tired eyes.

What do you think about new forum skin - Enlighten ?

Glad you brought that up somechick. I too have found it a bit irritating that I can't find which topic something is posted in when I search.
