PentaxForums.com will be offline for a
major software upgrade starting at 11 PM MST on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008. I expect the downtime to last at least thirty minutes, and the site may not regain full functionality for several hours to follow. However, everything should be back up and running by 2 AM MST on Sunday, May 4th.
I will be testing this series of changes on a test server to ensure that everything goes smoothly during the live upgrade.
This maintenance will include the following changes:
- Forum software upgrade to vBulletin 3.7.0
- Thread tagging
- Search cloud / tag cloud
- Built-in thread prefixes for the Marketplace
- A new profile page with public messaging as well as inline editing.
- Lightbox viewer for attached images
- Enhanced global announcement
- New sub-forums under the DSLR section: *ist D series, K100D series, K10D, and K20D
Please feel free to post any comments or suggestions prior to the initiation of this upgrade. I apologize in advance for the downtime, but on the bright side, it will be conducted during a period of minumum traffic.
