We're undergoing a major upgrade tonight at 8:30pm EST. The forum will be locked starting at this time until the process completes (by tomorrow evening). You will not be able to post replies or start new threads during this process.

You will know when the process completes because the site will look completely different. It will also be tablet/mobile friendly.

Please post any questions today before the upgrade starts and please be patient during the upgrade process. You can take this time to read posts and learn something even though you won't be able to reply.

From one software person to another, don't forget to do a back up before you start the upgrade. :lol:

Good Luck!

I became so confused just now... wondering why people appear to be posting in the future, as the site says posted 22nd November. In the UK it's 5:30pm on the 21st :p such time difference.

Is your time zone set correctly in your profile? It seems like you're set to Australian time or something. EST is an internationally recognized time zone designation and is only a 5 hour difference from the UK.

Congratulations on getting to this moment.

I know these things always look easier in the planning and the "devil is in the details" when it comes to implementation/execution.

Good luck tonight!

Can I be the first to complain about the new layout and how I can't stand it, even though I haven't seen it yet.

I'm in GMT time and by my reckoning I've got less than 5 hours left to enjoy the old layout... :-/
