it may not look like it, but this is a HUGE upgrade I have been NEEDING for the last year to solve many user requests.
Can't wait to get this installed.

Hopefully it allows us some more member requested features to make this place more enjoyable.

Chris, when is the app coming out?
I think I remember you saying something about it on our ride?

Looking forward to how this new update works out.

Update:
The next upgrade should happen to the forums in August
We are holding off till then to give all of the Modules Creators we use time to get their software compliant with XenForo 2.3
On Aug1 we will make the cut.
Those that are not compliant we will DROP.
The rest will be updated and re-installed.
That should give us all of August to debug and make sure SnoWest is running SMOOTHLY by September for the next season

UPDATE IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE ON WEDS AUGUST 7TH

See you in 2025.

WORKING ON THIS TODAY

 

[christopher]

SNOWEST FORUMS WILL GO OFFLINE FOR ABOUT ONE HOUR THIS AFTERNOON.

 

[volcano buster]

Did I miss it?

 

[christopher]

Did I miss it?

hang in there, just takes time to remove, upgrade, reinstall everything
You should see the effects today

 

[christopher]

We ran into a rather major issue last night in the upgrade.
A classic Circle Jerk.

We can't upgrade the forum software till the "Theme" module is updated.
And we can't upgrade the "Theme" module till the forums are upgraded.

Be prepared for what might be a MAJOR CHANGE TO LOOK & FEEL for a while today.
Will likely have to REMOVE the entire "Theme" of SnoWest, then upgrade the forum Software, then rebuild the "Theme" all over again

 

[christopher]

And we have a HARD UNSOLVABLE CONFLICT in the "THEME" we were using and the new V2.3 upgrade to the forums.
That is the root cause of the strange post issues so many people are seeing.

Looks like we are going to have to DITCH THE CURRENT "THEME" and chose another.

That WILL IMPACT the over all LOOK & FEEL of the forums.

Be ready for a possibly NOT TO SUBTLE CHANGE..
