Site Maintenance Late Wednesday (UPDATED)

UPDATE: All right, we're finished at a much too late at 7am! But it's here and we hope you like it. Tell us how you feel here!

Original post: Hey guys, if all goes according to plan, we will be performing fairly major software maintenance very late Wednesday. Currently we intend to begin at 11pm Mountain Daylight Time (so 10pm Pacific), and will probably go into Thursday morning until about 3am (with any luck).

Due to the nature of what's happening, all the forums, including IP Board (our software)'s other applications, like the Home page, Gallery, and such will need to go into maintenance mode, and you will not be able to post or even view the forums. However, the Coppermind and the Mistborn RPG will remain unaffected.

In addition to this stuff, we will be making minor adjustments to the forum layout, so if things get moved around before then, don't be alarmed!

When the time comes, we'll be updating you on Twitter and Facebook on how things are going. And I think you're really going to like the enhancements biggrin.gif

I can vouch for how awesome they are. It's actually fairly off-putting to come back to this version of IPB after playing around with the new one. I think you guys are going to like it a lot! :D

I can bet that I won't like new changes biggrin.gif
My reasoning is simple: 
A. I am satisfied with forums now.
B. I almost never go above satisfied.
C. I abhor change, with the exception of additions.
Hence, the most I can hope for is the same level of satisfaction smile.gif
But I understand your desire to change. Go on ahead smile.gif
And thanks for the warning.

Can you give us any hints as to what we'll see?

EDIT: Have you squashed the /> bug? :huh:/>

I'm not the one who built it, so I won't be doing any previews. However, I just tested it, and yes, that bug is gone. :D

I'm really sorry that you feel that way, but I'm more than a little put off by how it seems that you've already decided that you're not going to like what we've been putting a lot of hard work into. I love the current site too, but it's getting old, and things are breaking that we just can't fix anymore.

I get it, change can be a little scary, but we're loving how it's looking, and we think everyone else will too. Yes, it's going to be a little different and everyone's going to need to adapt a little bit, but it's also getting awesome new features, which are looking gorgeous. I know that we can't satisfy everybody, but I think we're making awesome improvements, and we're really proud of it. Thanks for the go ahead, and your understanding, but we were planning on doing it anyway. ;)

As for hints, you can already see we've implemented an updated forum layout. The big change is yet to come ;)

Well, I wish you guys luck! I have gone through a number of these as well (one very recently) and it always takes a lot of work. We appreciate what you guys are doing!

Can I just say that I'm immensely pleased that I'm not responding to a "skeleton" site tonight (as I did last night)?  Thanks, guys!

Yeah, there were some, uh, interesting serverside stuff going on yesterday. Thank goodness it's done today.
