Website Update

[GameWizard]

As many of you have noticed, we've been down most of the day. Well as you may or may not have noticed, we have upgraded to a new version of VBulletin, which includes many new features. However, with this upgrade, there has been a few complications, one of which is our news that will be down for a few days. Other than that, you should see a lot of changes and enhancements within the coming weeks. <br><br>
In regards to the forums, there will be a few problems here and there, and the avatars are all currently missing if you had hosted them on our server. We will attempt to retreive them.<br><br>
<b>Update: </b>Our forums have been fully upgraded, and are now available to be used. If you experience any more problems, feel free to <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/sendmessage.php">contact us</a>. We are currently working hard to get our main page back up, so stay tuned.<br><Br>
<b>Update 2: </b>It's been a hectic couple of days getting the forums setup and running properly, the same goes for our news. However, we're not out of the woods yet. We still have a few upgrades planned in the coming days, which will be for the better. You can expect a lot of new features that will benefit the community. Stay tuned.<br><br>
<b>Update 3: </b>News is back on the front page.

A lot of the new features benefit the moderators rather than the users, but this in turn helps us to help you. One thing you will notice is that the "read posts" will be managed properly using fields in the database, rather than cookies and session timeouts.

I just can't grasp why a community site with a memberbase as large as this would risk running their forums on a beta release version (unstable).

Cause we like to keep our community on the edge of progression.

Looks like sigs only show on old posts, any new posts don't show sigs .

Cheers

RC2 is barely beta. If there are no bugs found within this release then the very same files get rebadged as the final version. The previous stable release of vBulletin is 3.0.8 - to get to 3.5RC2 is quite a few beta stages in between.

I'm still stuck on 3.0.7 with mine - I've got so many custom hacks installed, I'm afraid to touch anything

Same, BFC been at 3.0.5 because of all the CMPS crud and other h4x installed.
