IMPORTANT!!! Board Downtime on November 1st! Details inside!

[Petra]

I know I've been mentioning it for most of this year, but it's FINALLY that time! We're going to be upgrading to vBulletin 4!

The upgrade is set to take place on Tuesday, November 1st at 15:00 GMT +1 and will come up again at 9am GMT +1 on Wed. For those of you who's entire lives and self worth revolve around this message board, I apologize in advance for the trauma this will cause by having to breath fresh air and interact with real people!

Unfortunately at this time some features in myFreeOnes WILL be shut down (account sign ups, changing preferences) due to the fact that there's interaction with the board.

As to those that have concerns about PMs, post count, reputation and the like transferring, it should all be intact when the board comes up again.

vBulletin 4 has a different look and feel from the current version, but for the most part it will work exactly like the board works now. Over the next few weeks, some new features and plugins will be added to make the board a lot nicer (like being able to mark threads in the ID section as "solved").

So that's that! Again, apologies to anyone we traumatize with the down time, we promise to get you back to your regularly scheduled program as soon as possible.

I'll try to keep you guys updated via our Twitter: FreeOnes Twitter

So this is when post count and rep will be reset, too, right? I also heard that everyone will be newly signed up, so it looks like all members joined on October 25, 2011. That's going to be awesome.

I can't wait.
