This week we will be doing an update to the site's forum software. We will be going from Xenoforo 1.5 to Xenforo 2.1. This is a relatively easy upgrade and the downtime should be 1-2 hours max. All addons, sub-accounts being the main one, will no longer be compatible with the site. We will always look for an alternative to sub-accounts on XF2 but, as of now, no good alternatives have been found and the sub-accounts addon is only compatible with XF1.5.
The main reasons the the update are:
Below you will find the time for the temporary downtime:
The main reasons the the update are:
- XF has cut technical support for anyone on XF1
- A number of QOL improvements to the site for both the backend and users
- Certain features of the Sub-Account addons have caused issues in our backend (the whole reason we went with XF1 to begin with)
Below you will find the time for the temporary downtime:
- 5:30 pm Thursday, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)
- 2:30 am Thursday, Eastern Time (ET)
- 11:30 pm Wednesday, Pacific Time (PT) Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the upgrade to any of our staff
