I'm going to be converting the board to the ZetaBoard format. EVERYTHING should convert over, so, no data (including your stuff, posts, etc...) will have to be redone or lost.

I've been thinking about this for a while because of the added bells and whistles for you guys to amuse yourselves with, plus the added security measures, etc...

My only concern is getting rid of the orange "accent colors"... :lol:

The CSS menu is a bit different from the one used here, so, I'll be screwing around with that in the middle of the night so there aren't any "WTF??" moments. :he:

Anyway- just another heads up today. so, you're not taken by surprised when the conversion is done and wondering where the fuck you are.

This should be started some time tonight. There shouldn't be any down time for the board, as it is supposed to be almost instantaneous. I guess we'll see.

If tonight there IS some downtime, for some reason, there's no need to panic. Now you know why.

Yup. They will get converted over.

Here's the conversion scoop:

What is converted?

* Topics & Posts
* Forums & Categories
* Board Settings, Admin notepad, Board rules
* Member accounts and their settings
* Permission masks
* Groups
* PMs, PM tracking, contacts
* Polls
* Board Stats
* Moderator logs, warn logs, email logs, and admin logs
* Calendar events
* Badword lists
* Forum and topic tracking
* Moderators
* Validating members
* Emoticons (smilies)
* Titles & Ranks
* AutoTools (MultiMods)
* Attachments, pips, and uploaded files
* Ad removal

(Essentially this means that all data on your InvisionFree board is converted)

I think I got rid of Parcells = Prickcells. :lol:


Also- here's the board I've been screwing around with the last hour, (mostly looking to figure out how to get rid of the friggin' orange. I won't lie. LOL), so, if anyone wants to sign up, to play around and get a look at some of the new options, etc... have at it. Go wild.

http://s1.zetaboards.com/Blue/index/

When OUR new board goes up, I'll be adding a bunch of stuff for us to enhance posts and profiles, etc...

My only concern (aside from the friggin' orange) is the text size of the posts. Gonna be boosting that up a bit on the new board.
