Big changes...

[gordy]

Note to everyone,

Sorry for my absence lately I've been prepping for software conversion for planetFigure.

PlanetFigure is currently running on the aging vBulletin forum software solution, it's old, vulnerable to security flaws and doesn't fit well with the modern web.

This weekend I will be doing a forum migration to new software. This is a huge undertaking and will require everyone's patience.

Starting Friday evening around 9pm US Central I will take the forum into maintenance mode and it will be read only and no new registrations. I'm planning to re-open the forum on Saturday Noon US Central. There are many moving parts during this process so expect some odd looking pages and errors.

I expect everything to run smoothly as possible but there are always unseen issues.

While I complete the prep, there will be some things inaccessible and number totals will move around, while I rebuild and repair existing issues, such as post counts, thread counts and like counts.

Thank you everyone for your patience and I and the testers believe you will like the changes!

Talk soon and wish me luck!
Gordy
