Software Upgrade & Forum Down - 2:30 PM

[MMiz]

In less than half an hour I plan to upgrade EMTLife's software. During this time, which should take less than an hour, the software will be updated to the latest version. The upgrade will provide users with additional features that I think you'll enjoy.

The forum will be disabled from 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM today. Hopefully all goes well!

Thanks,

And we're back. If you have any problems, issues, or feedback, please post it in this thread.

what are the new features? also, should the chat function be missing from the panel at the top?

There aren't many major changes in this version, but vBulletin created a post with the information.

The biggest items for our users are the privacy features, PM upgrades, and social group changes.

I can't help but be underwhelmed with vBulletin these days. Their recently released 4.0 product has many new features, but I can't imagine upgrading for at least several months.

Seconded. I have lost the hyperlink to the Live Chat on the top bar.

Seconded. I have lost the hyperlink to the Live Chat on the top bar.

We're looking into it.

I had to re-agree to the rules, was that supposed to happen?

There appears to be an issue with the new forum upgrade and the chat link. We are working on this to get the matter corrected.

We're looking into this, because some users have had to accept the rules again and others haven't had to.

We're not sure why it's been selective in it's implementation, but WE ARE NOT PICKING WHO HAS TO ACCEPT THE RULES AGAIN. This is beyond our control, and it's not part of some larger conspiracy.

This is the first I've heard of the Quick Reply issue, so let me check on that one too.

This is true, I had to accept the terms again, but i was not part of the so called conspiracy

I wasnt even here for it...by the way FFEMT quick reply appears to be working again...

 

[Aidey]

I'm using Firefox if that helps any.

It appears as though I made a mistake when I upgraded the forum and overlooked a new feature. All members who try to post a new thread, reply, or send a PM may have to agree to our rules at least once. Unfortunately I did not catch this new feature before upgrading.
