Well guys, the time has come to perform some major upgrades to the forums, so beginning Wednesday between 5:30 and 6:00 PM the forums will be unavailable. We do not know the exact time that they will be back up, but it will most likely be in the early morning hours of Thursday.

Although the forums will be "unavailable" during the software upgrade, there may be brief periods of time when it would be possible for you to log in. We ask that you please do not log into the forums until you see this message replaced at the top of the lounge.

Thank you all for bearing with us during the site downtime, and we hope that you will enjoy what you see when you come back to the site on Thursday.

Might want to just shut down all user access just incase theirs times when the board does become available. Not everyone reads the stickies at the top of the page.

User access will be shut down, however the announcement was posted because of the fact that due to software upgrades, the board might become available for brief periods of time.

FYI - board will be closed for the night in about 15 minutes.....

The changeover from phpBB to vBulletin has been completed!!!

There will be many tweaks to the current design and layout over the next few weeks, but as you can see, the major change has already occured.

If you have any questions or see any major problems, please drop me a message on AIM, or send me an e-mail. For general vBulletin forum questions, please see the FAQ section.

Looks good. some of the smiley faces have little red x's next to the description, and the avatars dont want to work, but other than that this is a huge step in the right direction

Avatar's should be working now, and I'll see what's up with the smilies.

Glad you like it!

Any particular reason(s)? This is far from completed, and there are many small changes coming over the next few days. Maybe there is something we could add.....?

Likin the new layout, and let me be one of the first to note that the logo in the front page looks really good as opposed to vBulletin

I dunno....there were no hosting changes made. Maybe it has something to do with the way vBulletin code works.

Looks good guys, nice job with the upgrade to Vbulletin.

It's truly a sad thing that the timeslip database and garage don't work with vb 3.5 though.

Yea, Evil LS1 gave permission for others to work on/release his code, but no one seems to be stepping up to the plate. That one guy has the vbgallery, but I don't care for it. Plus you are forced to pay for it, which I don't agree with.

It looks good because I took the picture! muwhaha!

Someday I will have sexy pictures of just about every members car! But no one has stepped up to the plate yet. Only one member has mentioned something & even offered to pay for something (but I declined).

If you cant tell I'm bored, and I do enjoy taking pictures, but I can only take so many of my own car :(
