Hi everyone,

I am performing a rather large upgrade to the forum software on Sunday night 15th of Feb at 9PM WST

The forum will be off-line for approx 30-45 minutes, hopefully no longer :)

On Sunday night, there will be a new option so you can try out a different theme of site, it will look completely different.. I won't be activating it by default straight away as I want to gauge interest first, but once a few people are happy, I will change it over. It's somewhat different to this layout.

Cheers,
Dave

Well, 2 hours later and it's done :( was a very frustrating upgrade.... damn those server permission issues!

Post up here if anyone experiences any problems, I shall hopefully get the new design up soon for you all to trial out before it goes live ;)

You'll probably notice not much difference here, it was an overall forum upgrade to fix a few glitches/issues etc, brought it up to the latest version which was long overdue... cheers for your patience everyone! :)

How come every time I do asearch lately I get no results except for the following message:
"No posts exist inside this topic for the selected time frame".

Is this related to your software upgrade?

I cannot see anywhere in advanced search how to selelct a time frame to search over.

I PM'd you abuot this a while ago, and never got a reply. The site is pretty useless without a functioning search facility

Thx

More to my previous message, in fact if you go to a forum list, elect to show threads updated more than 2 weeks ago and you click on one of the threads thats older than about 2 weeks and 1 day you get the same problem.

Cheers
