Jon i noticed the forum was down Saturday ,   it seems it has been updated, can you tell us about anything that has changed.

I noticed avatar does not show  and i tried to edit another post and recieved a message cannot display.

Hmm now avatar shows.

something is certainly wrong. Things are not displaying properly.

Me too (had/having problems).
Right now the SEARCH function is saying:
This page is currently unavailable due to system maintenance or technical difficulties. Please check back in a few minutes.

Gorgi yes does the same for me also.
I did notice now thought forum page loads fast compared to this morning and now when i view my profile the avatar show there all the time.
The birthday feature on bottom and in profile looks new to me i dont recall it before but could be wrong.
Jon if you read this im sure you worked hard last few days and many thanks to you!

I haven't changed anything, so it isn't my fault. Maybe the provider (websitetoolbox) has made some changes in their hardware, or whatever, but I have not been notified by them.

Obviously, some major change is being done.
Everbody, just hold STILL for a while..., the out-come
should  benefit all of us (fig-crazy-nuts).
Thanks Jon!

I see that some features were also added to the chat room. Except the ability to have more people on at the same time.

You might have experienced a disruption in accessing your message board on Saturday, March 7, 2009 morning during an upgrade of the system. The upgrade was planned to complete within a short time frame with very little downtime. However, due to technical difficulties, some message boards may have been unavailable for many hours beyond the anticipated maintenance window. Additionally, the difficulties during the upgrade process resulted in glitches which would have otherwise not been there.

As a valued customer, your online experience is important to us. We understand how important the availability and smooth operation of your message board is to you and your users, and it is equally as important to us. Over the last few days we have managed to resolve almost all glitches and have taken steps to ensure that future upgrades go smoothly. If you submitted an inquiry to customer support, please note that due to a high volume of customer inquiries and feedback after the upgrade, it may take longer than usual to receive a reply from a representative. Our representatives are working hard to attend to your inquiries as soon as possible. Additionally, we have gathered all of your generous feedback and we will do our best to exceed all of your expectations. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Looking forward, we are confident the new system will make it all worthwhile. You may have noticed some changes to your message board design which were unavoidable when implementing the new skins system. The old system was only able to configure very few aspects of your design, while the new system has the ability to control virtually every aspect of your design, including colors, images, fonts, positioning, and more, all through CSS. If your existing design was modified, you can change it to your liking through the skins section of your Website Toolbox account.

If you did not receive the upgrade notification email, please enable the option for email communication in your Account Settings and click here to view a copy of the upgrade notification sent.

Thank you for your loyalty and understanding during the upgrade. We are working hard to keep your message board communities chatting away...

The Website Toolbox Team
