Ok. I THINK things are all here and working properly.

If you run into any problems, please message me.

I should point out, however, there is a bit of a good news/bad news thing.

The good news is I do believe all the posts and user information made it through intact. The bad news is that at the moment, the customized skins the EA was using are kaput, and we are running on the default skins. This shouldn't be a major issue, however we shall see.

Unaware of the pending change until just now, I logged on, and find that I am apparently just after the completion of this upgrade. Everything looks fine to me. No problems here.

I don't understand the "skins" thingy, but my skin is still attached to my body. Should I be worried?

Good to hear things look fine to you.

As to what 'skins' are, if you look at the very, very bottom of the page you'll see a little pulldown box on the bottom left. In there are some choices for how you want the boards to look. Colours, fonts, etc. Those are skins.

IE,

Just wondering around the upgraded house. Looks good but still slipping under the covers to see what is really happening. I will report any anomalies if found.

Take care and thanks for the upgrade...

hey I just changed skins and the ones on the menu work fine. they even load the next time you enter so i don't see a problem there. the blue default ones always worked well for me.

Thanks.

I guess some things are improving before the down time. I'm really enjoying the spell checker. Makes my life a lot easier. Thanks so much for all the work you're doing. Steve

Dear IEunuch,

Everything looks GREAT! I love the new features in the post writing area. Very nice work my friend.

Thank you for all your time and effort.

Ok, there've been a couple new changes to the system.

First, you may have noticed when you go to post, there are fewer smilies showing on the right. Never fear, they're all still there. This way though, the box doesn't stretch off the side of the screen, and you can see the new button.

What new button? Why the new spellcheck button. Yes, we now have a spellcheck, located on the top right-hand corner of the edit box.

It works, and everything. Although it won't check grammar, and may not know all the words we use here. But that's ok! It's there, as promised, and it works! (At least it works for me. Please let me know if it fails to work for you.)

now if we can get it to spell check in any language other than canadian we would be good.

<=bad bad toad! (waiting 50 seconds between posts sucks too)
