Later today (or possibly one evening this week) - I'll be upgrading to Invision Board 2.3
The board will get switched off - the new content uploaded - and then an upgrade actioned - which should be a few hours at most. If you see the board acting strange during this period - don't email me - and don't try and post to the forum once the upgrade has started until you see this thread updated with news that the upgrade is complete. In the event of emergency - we have the UMSF lifeboat here : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unmannedspaceflight/ If the proverbial has hit the fan - I'll post about it there. Fingers crossed Doug |

The upgrade is basically done - obviously there will need to be some tidying up - logo's etc - but the forum is functional again

Congratulations - a thing like that takes a lot of courage...but I guess it's not your first time.

Thanks for not providing an anxiety provoking warning of this upgrade, say, oh, about a month ago.

Technically - I sort of did : http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...ost&p=97065 - but I just did it a LOT later than I thought I would back then.

No problem. I am fully capable of having a retroactive anxiety attack.

Hello Doug,
Glad to see the forum back. For the past 24 hours or so I haven't been receiving any email updates from a topic I'm tracking. Is this something with my email or with the forum? While I'm here another question. When I send a PM I would think it would appear in the PM "Sent" folder. However that folder is empty. Is this feature working? BTW I enjoyed hearing you on Planetary Radio recently... Thanks, -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

What do these colored figures by the poster's name represent? They seem to be mostly red, gray for some people and occasionally green/blue. Is that online status or something?
P.S. The "Front Page" is disabled, something about admin settings. -------------------- |

I was also wondering about the colored figures, so I tried to go to the "portal" to see who was online. I got a message telling me that "The portal has not been enabled. Please check your Invision Power Board Admin Settings." Perhaps that was intentional, but I thought I'd mention it. Otherwise everything else seems ok.

It's like getting a new version of Office - you suddenly find things that are new, and discover settings that have changed. The portal should be active again now - still got some stuff to figure out and tweak

Doug, I'm not able to upload image attachments with the new version. In the little Attachments sub-window I hit "Browse..." to select the file, and then hit the green "UPLOAD" button. (It says I have used 0 bytes of a 1MB limit.) Then the subwindow clears and displays the message "Uploading File...", but nothing further happens.
Could this be a browser issue? I'm using Mozilla 1.7.10. |

Also regarding image attachments, it seems like many of them cannot be viewed without logging in - though this might just be me.
