I've started disabling some of the forum add-ons to prepare for the impending upgrade.
So some things might not work as you expect, and other things will give error messages or not work at all.
When the forum software is upgraded it will take some time for everything to be reinstalled.
Some things that are likely not to work at first:
Tapatalk
Ignored threads will become visible
Censorship of certain words will happen in general chat.
vBookie won't work (already turned off - you may see error messages if you go to the vBookie page)
The Arcade is unlikely to work
Auto linking won't work (already turned off)
The radio/TV thing won't work (already turned off)
The anti-spam measures in place won't work so we may see some automated spam registrations and posting.
The current mobile forum style won't work.
The stuff in in the right hand column will disappear
New threads will no longer automatically be tweeted
The Facebook link will no longer appear in new threads
The current Youtube embedding system won't work (but a new version will be built in to the upgraded forum)
Pages may not load as quickly as the caching plug-in won't work.
The Top posters list is likely not to work.
The LCFC Twitter thread will stop updating
The ability to say thinks for a post won't work (already turned off)
And probably a few other things that I haven't thought of, plus a lot of stuff that you won't notice but needs to be upgraded on the admin side.
I am planning to upgrade the software tonight. It could take time, and that's if everything works.
If I need to make any announcement while the site is unavailable I'll post it on Twitter. http://twitter.com/#!/TalkingBalls
This thread is just for announcements about the status of the upgrade. Please post any comments and bug reports in this thread.
