_________________________________________________________________ Bits NewsThe upgrade will happen on April 1. When it does, if you have problems signing in, go here and tell us: bitsdiscussionboard.forumotion.com/
Also, of course, there will be work being done over the week, correcting all the bugs and missing things the upgrade will create. Dont panic, we'll get it back together.

I suppose the staff here know what they are doing. I'm dreading having to deal with the upgrade on my own two forums!

Thanks, Hunny. I may have to call on your wonderful wisdom when the time comes - I'm putting off the upgrade till the last possible minute!

Got up before 5:00 AM to start the upgrade and oops, only the founder can 'press the button'. *sigh* Well, sometime today...we'll get it pushed! When we do, if anyone finds they cant log in, go here ( click) and tell us. (I'm sure we wont need it but that's a spare board we can all go to if the upgrade is a total disaster.) But it wont be. It'll go fine. And even if you cant log in, and it cant be remedied, what we'll do is you'll just make a new account and I'll give you your karma score back. There's no need for losing members over this...it's a simple thing. (In fact, I think you'll find, if you have memberships at other Proboards forums, the system already knows your password and you can just click on your name) I'll be away from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Eastern time today, Lin. (3:00 to 8:00 PM your time?) But I'll get right on fixing up the little problems the upgrade will create, just as soon as I get back. And I have the next two days free for it.

Let me assure you, this was NOT an April Fool's joke. The upgrade is scheduled to happen today! I'd recommend you save your avatar, because you'll need to re-do your profile. We've saved your kharma scores, and that system will be re-installed, and your scores back, in a day or two. Stand by -

So has it happened yet? I ask because we in the UK are half way through the day.
I was quite looking forward to bringing my "number of posts" figure down. It makes me look as if I don't get out enough.

No, we're waiting for Lin to push the button. I was going to do it, but it told me only the founding admin can, so I had to pm her, and now we're waiting...

karma seems to have disappeared completely now and I've tried going into the admin control panel and the members list but nothing there seems to make it possible to use the karma function.
Unless my wonderful staff have any ideas I'd better try going to Proboards Support!

It's April 2 now and some forum admins have refused to press the button and their forums have remained the same! Will proboards force "noncompliant forums" into the "upgrade"?

Unless my wonderful staff have any ideas I'd better try going to Proboards Support! I have the fix for that. Don't worry Lin. I've been preparing for this for two months. I have everything needed to fix the little problems created by the upgrade, and I'll spend the next couple of days doing the work..

Lin ,you need a plugin for the karma ,if you're going to proboards support you will find it in the plugin index there .
