So our current server expires in July, and the server version has been deprecated by the provider, which means we will need to setup and migrate the site to an all new server, which I purchased yesterday.

As such there will be a time in the very near future (TBD) where I will need to take the site down for a maintenance period.

I don't quite know what all is involved in the migrations yet, so I need to figure that out first, and then after that I will determine when exactly I am going to take the site down. I will announce it here once I figure out when the time will be so everyone has at least a little notice. Hopefully the site will only be down for a few hours at most, but will have to see how it goes.

I almost forgot about this, but the time to switch the server over is almost upon us. So consider this notice that the site likely will be down for maintenance this weekend. Not sure how long the server switch will take but I will likely start on it tomorrow evening or Sat morning, and I will try to get it back up as quickly as I can.

Server and Site upgrades are finally complete. I am currently working on adding some new add-ons to the site and there are a few that I thought you guys should know about.

- Chat - there is now a chat panel available to most site user. You can find it in the 'Chat' button on the top navigation. You won't be able to see that in the mobile app though
- Advanced Search - You can now use advanced search to narrow down search results on the board. There is a link in the top navigation bar and also a button in the regulars search field next to your name.
- Rotate - All members will be able to rotate images in any newer post. The link/button for this appears toward the bottom of any message. Only shows up on newer posts though, so any older post (prior to the server upgrade) likely wont have the option for it.

Hope you guys find those useful. Let me know if you have any issues with any of them

Click to expand...
Added another feature for you guys. Light and Dark Modes and you can switch between them 2 ways
1- You can change it via a dropdown in your preferences and just choose which style you want
2- All the way at the bottom of any page on the site, there is a link that says your current style with a paintbrush icon next to it. If you click on that you can choose which style you want.
