Changes are a coming...Offline at times on 5/4/2016

Well, not for the Angels but for our community here. 

 

Yep, it's time for an upgrade again.

 

Sometime in the next couple days you will see a significant upgrade to the forum. 

 

If you'd like to see what's coming here's a couple links that show all the new feature enhancements and improvements to our community. 

 

Here's some features that I'm excited about.

 

IPS CS Core (forums not main app)

Activity Stream

Mentions

Better Blocks

Menu Manager

Dedicated Reviews tab in apps

Better mobile version of the forum

 

 

Here's a video on the activity stream and how you can customize your experience on the forum.

I could only imagine if its down and its during today's game with Pujols up with a runner on first.

Why? We already know what will happen if it's him or Simmons up in that situation.

I swear when I first saw the thread title I thought Chuck was finally solving Glen's farting in the main forum problem. Thanks Chuckbama.

Heads up.

 

Today is upgrade day. Once the upgrade is finished the entire forum will look and feel a lot different. 

 

We may be down for 30-60 minutes. 

 

You may also lose your profile avatars, but you can upload a new one no problem. 

 

I will be re-designing the forum once the upgrade is finished, so you may hit refresh at some point and it looks a lot like it does now, albeit a little more modern look and with more features.

What time do you think this will go down?

Anytime in the next hour or two. 

[Chuck]

Starting the upgrade now....

[Chuck]

Sorry peeps, ran into multiple issues with the upgrade so I rolled back.

Will try again tomorrow or Thursday.

I need a bourbon and smoke. Ugh!

Maybe you've earned two?

[RallyPanda]

Every time I checked and got the error message I freaked out.

[Chuck]

Yeah dudes, I'll make sure next time will be the last time.

[gotbeer]

I just knew it.

 

Chuck can't handle change.

[Chuck]

I need another bourbon

[Angel Oracle]

Maple Bourbon does the trick.

[John Taylor]

All hail the new Angelswin.com!.....looks just like the old Angelswin.com......wait it is the old angelswin.com.......screw it, just go back to HTML 1.0, I heard its supported on Netscape Navigator!

[Chuck]

So sorry to disappoint.

I'm actually disappointed in myself if that makes you feel better.

Nope. I'm sure you will figure it out Chuck, after some bourbon infused inspiration.

Bear with me peeps, I'm giving the upgrade another go at it after a revelation was found early this morning on how to get past a hurdle that I was unable to yesterday. 

[Angel Oracle]

So far, so good.   Made my first post after the upgrade already.

See what happens when you get a few bourbons in you.  You start to think more clearly.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Well, apologies to Adam for the IM as I had not seen this previously....I didn't have a way to reach you Chuck as it said there was an error code.

[gotbeer]

Oh, and any chance we can change the forum colors to Angel Red instead of Doggie Blue?

[mtangelsfan]

I agree the blue is kind of a bummer.   I like a lot of the other stuff though.

Just testing the quote function..

carry on.

And yes we will all want red.

[Tank]

looks good so far.

and so far, it looks like my older version of Chrome is supporting this well. i was having troubles on my school computer, which is closing in on ten years old and doesn't support a lot of the newer software, so big thumbs up from me.

[Homebrewer]

I liked being able to switch forums from the cursor-over drop-down menu...this version doesn't seem to do that.
