Upgrades complete!

Done in just under a week...

Sorry about the delayed downtime everyone, but the forums are finally back up. �Other than a few problems, the conversion went fairly smoothly. �Unfortunately, I wasn't able to import everyone's PMs, but I do have them saved on my hard drive. �So if anyone wants theirs e-mailed, please let me know. �To make things easier, I'll just make an outline of what changed.

-Personal avatars are gone. �If you have more than 50 posts, you can upload one, however that folder is shared with everyone on the boards.

-Avatar linking, as an alternative to shared uploading you can now link them from a different server.

-Avatars are set to a maxium of 100x100 pixels although you can set the proper size specifications on your own.

-Everyone's custom titles were deleted. �However if you have more than 50 posts, you can now change your own, whenever you want to.

-On certain forums you are allowed to upload attachments. �So far it's only in the Balto and pok�mon artwork sections. �

-The most used forums now have links to the FAQs and Guidelines above them. �Although Acanis may want to add his own rules to his forums.

-Two of the Pok�mon Forums were deleted to make room for a Gaming Forum.

As for everything else, explore the boards and have fun! �Also lemme know what you think of the changes. �I tried to take everyone's suggestions into consideration, including the colors. �

As for thanks, you can thank Winter Winstar for the Balto drawing in the new forum logo. �The icons at the very bottom of the forum �come from Fluke's Tribute to Balto. �I'd also like to thank CW and Winter for the board suggestions and support as I made the upgrades. �Also I want to thank Ag and Halfwolf for doing a few tests posts for me last night. �

I'm exhuasted because between the last few days i've only sleep 8 hours total. �So i'll reply to those other posts when I get some rest. �Happy viewing and happy Labo(u)r Day for those of you in the US and Canada! *collapses and sleeps.*
I'm very impressed, Silver! The boards look beautiful, great job. :-) *sparkles and two paws up*

*editing to test member title and such*

Glad you all like it! :) �Personally i've noticed the boards seem to load fastest for me during the morning hours.  

Oh, and I can still change your member title if you don't have 50 posts yet, Warrn.

Wow this is looking really cool, I'm going to have to take some time to find all the features.. really nice job!
heh, i am little intimidated by all this newness.. but it seems some of the new features will be really nice. As always, your choice of graphics and color schemes turned out great. So, here's to a new chapter in the Balto fan-network! ^^
yay! Silver changed TIB and....SHE MADE THE COLOURS BETTER! It's terrific Silver! GREAT JOB!!!! :laugh:
Wow! Looks great and much advanced from the previous edition: kudos for an excellent and very fast upgrade, Silver. The wonders of hard work. The colors look great as does format... The topic smilies seem a bit of muted color, but then these days earthtones are prefered. LOL.

Cheers!

It did go quik, didn't it? The upgrades, that is. :p
within one week's time, im impressed, this place looks great!  :D
oooh! nifty! gonna miss the blue smileys though  ???
It may take me awhile to get used to the new colors as I am not used to reading black text on a sky blue background. �I do, however, like the the new logo at the top of the page!
Many thanks again! �I'm glad you all like the upgrades, and that the process was quick enough for you. �:D �As for the smilies and such, I could always find a new place to download new ones in the future. �*nods* �This time around, I'd have everyone pick from a set or something...

As for the colors, I used TIC for the colors I needed. �You can change the skin if you want to, but for the moment it's only this skin and the default Ikonboard one to choose from. �If i get time, I may add more in the future.
Good Job Silver! I will have to get used to the change. The boards are very different from the old ones.
Hello :)

You've done a great job with the upgrades!  The board looks awesome!

:laugh: Wow!! New home!!! I like it..^_^    everything look interesting...^_^ and nice to see everyone too!!
O.o Marvelous job,Silver! I got such a surprise!All of a sudden everything seems so lively!It might take some time for me to adjust (is still in a daze)
I'm new here so I don't know what the site used to look like but...(looking around), I'm very happy with the overall appearance. :;):
Thanks again, it's good to see that everything has come back to life. ^_^

The old boards weren't bad, they were just a little old.  And a lot less colorful too. I really should have kept a screen shot. ^_^;
Here's a screen shot:

And the new boards look great.
Thanks for the screen shot Maverick!  Thought I'd never see one of those any time soon.  :D
"The old has to go,the new has to come" It's a Chinese saying.Makes me feel nostalgic looking at the shot.
