Just a quick announcement for members and staff...
We are now upgraded to the newest version of SMF, and have merged all the states into a single forum. Right now the forum is still under construction, but will be taken out of maintenance mode soon. Check back often! The next few days will be kind of rocky as we get all the kinks ironed out and all the settings tweaked to our liking. Expect some changes. We do apologize for the inconvenience, but we believe this was a necessary step in our evolution. This was a giant upgrade (and massive undertaking) and the forum software architecture has changed slightly. Some of the data... Like avatars and post attachments for instance... Could not be transferred over. Depending on demand... I will code something to port attachments (>2gb worth) over if need be. However, I will be leaving the old forums up for the time being at
http://www.atarnotes.com/agora/. They are in maintenance mode (read-only), but it will give anyone interested an opportunity to acquire anything (like avatars and attachments) that wasn't transferred to the new forum.
Plans (pre and post public opening):
All boards marked [new] were manually added to guide in the organization and consolidation of the forum. Boards which are not tagged were directly imported and will soon be disappearing into the new boards. Once this is complete, the [new] tags will disappear. For the moment, this does not apply to VCE. Since we already have a large established VCE community, we left the boards intact to aid in the transition. However, they too will eventually end up looking like the other state forums. Boards will be grouped, consolidated, and arranged all pretty-like.
The main page of the forum has replaced the national forum, and anything that applies nationally and has no point being in every state forum will be moved there. DuplicationFTL.
As SMF serves as the backbone for the entire site, other parts of the site will need some work to become compliant. Shouldn't be too many glitches with this, but this is a warning just in case. As always, let us know if anything breaks/is broken.
The current theme will be modified to better suit the aesthetics of the site.
Settings... Permissions... Etc...
Hopefully all these things will be completed during this week.
Thank you for bearing with us. <3
