Title: website upgrade/move
Post by: Captkaos on September 29, 2011, 12:10:32 am: Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that we are going to be moving the website to a new server sometime soon. If you drop by and the forum is not accessible and you can't order this is most likely what is going on. I will try to post and update to this so everyone will know when.

Also, once moved, I plan to be moving to a new forum software, not sure when that will happen, but it is planned. It will be XenForo.

Post by: Captkaos on October 04, 2011, 02:49:38 am: Ok, I just updated the forum to the newest SMF software. There are a few features missing but it is REALLY late so I am going to work on them as I can. Just not tonight.

If you find something important, make a post in the General discussion under the topic Features missing after upgrade.

Just go to Profiles and then Account Settings -> Facebook to associate it.
