Site Maintenance Late Wednesday (UPDATED)

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!

I can bet that I won't like new changes 
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 
But I understand your desire to change. Go on ahead 
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.

This is exciting news. I am excited to see what transformations will be made.

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.
