There have been some concerns regarding speed and performance on the site, and I've had some personal concerns regarding security, scalability, and stability. Also, it's usually cool to have the latest version of software that includes new features and such.
So I'm considering upgrading the 6GC forum software. However, this is not such an easy thing to do. I have tons of custom work invested in the current version of the forums. Also, the database structure has been heavily modified to accommodate integration of the forums with the rest of the site. The biggest hurdle that comes to mind immediately is the user reputation/feedback system. This is a very custom piece of work and would require a ton of work to get it integrated into a new version of the forums. What do you guys think about not having it immediately integrated into the forums after an upgrade? Benefits of the upgrade include higher performance and more stability, as well as tons of new features. But for a while, the boards may be bare and lack some of the current custom functionality that you guys are used to. Also, there will be probably 8-12 hours worth of downtime. What do you all think? Would you all like to see an upgrade? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

more features will be great. Like personalizing our member page, IDK.
The feedback system is not fully working, well sort of. Like, for it to work complete, members have to use it ![]() I wish there is another system in place to earn more pictures. I have created some how to, but have not pm the mods since i will get nothing. I would enjoy more pics, that is what i really want, more smiles, and more pics, and did i say more pics. lol but downtime, man, we will suffer. But all for the greater good! -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
