Forum will be temporarily unavailable
« on: July 22, 2012, 21:49:54 »
The forum will be offline for a few days for general maintenance and the long overdue upgrading beginning tonight at 00:00 GMT.

Things may look a little different when we return, but hopefully all of the topics and important stuff will be unaffected (fingers crossed!).

Hi everyone :wave:

Sorry for the long downtime! Hope you weren't getting worried. :-[

The upgrade took longer than expected and there are still some glitches here and there which I have so far been unable to eliminate completely.

If you notice something off or receive an error message when trying to visit a page or execute an action, please let me know at once by replying to this topic.

I will have to put the forum in maintenance mode briefly again in order to completely fix the errors and to install and configure new files for the "Coppermine" Photo Album area, but I will leave it for a few days as I really need a breather. ;)

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, Sylvia!!! On a first glance, the new changes look very good and easy on the eye!! It certainly looks less heavier this way I think.

It has been a hard slog and there were several nerve-wracking moments when I thought I had messed things up. This is what I get for leaving it so long between upgrades, I guess.

I quite like the layout. It's more modern and minimalist. There is a lot of grey shades but I think the avatars and other little icons help to make it look cheerful.

It will take some time to get used to it, but it seems fine to me too. The only thing I noticed is that the "Mark All Messages Read" button is now at the bottom of the index instead of at the top. :lol:

Just a style change, I guess.  :)

Also, instead of a "show all unread posts" link, you now have the choice of viewing unread posts by a selected category only by using the right-hand link in the category bar on the index page. :)

Hi Sylvia!
Thanks for the info on the recent upgrades and, especially, for all the work you do to keep Playmofriends running so smoothly day after day!   :hatoff: :-*
I like the new look very much!  At this point, I don't have as much time to visit as I used to, but I found that I really missed Playmofriends when it was offline for a few days.
