CF upgrade in the works

CF will be upgrading to a newer version of Vbulletin soon. This likely will result in CF being offline for a bit, sometime within the next couple weeks or so. When I know the timing in greater precision, I'll let folks know.

Apart from the core software upgrade, many new and cool features will be implemented. No doubt there will be a few bugs as we go live, and a number of things will seem strange. However, overall, the new version is much much nicer, and easier to use. It also reduces the strain on the servers substantially.

A few things:
1. CF characters stay, although upgrades in functionality will occur down the road a bit.
2. CF pets will be quite different, although it appears the underlying database will remain. Not completely sure.
3. The guestbooks and profiles are way different, and much more powerful than the current ones.
4. The navigation will be changing to hopefully make it easier for new members.
5. Skins and color schemes will be changing.
6. Major updates to CF radio and internet TV will likely be a new feature


This is a substantial change, and prayers are very much appreciated as we go forward.

....my only question is~why?? What are they trying to turn this into~myspace? What the heck is "more powerful" guestbooks and profiles~is that like MAGNUM force:doh:?

Sounds like just so much more clutter to me~

Yeah, this bug is annoying, but kinda funny too :D

Unfortunately, the time stamp error doesn't have anything to do with the upgrade. As far as I know they haven't even started that yet. Bugs Bugs - get them bugs

Companies always have to keep upgrading their product just to give something for their emplies to do so they can charge more money to those that are using their product.

Good point, and actually it would be for the advertisers ultimately since they are the ones spending money on the product (apart from the site supporters).
