Island Time 1,235 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Please note this site will not be available Friday morning, while I try an upgrade to the current version of Invision Community ( The site platform). I will take the site down at about 9am, then backup and attempt the upgrade. If all goes well it will be a couple of hours. If I have to restore, then we'll see what happens I guess... Please bear with us, it will be worth it, with lots of functional updates Hopefully it will work the 1st time! Matt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 OK, the main site update is done. There are a lot of differences in this version, for me to learn as well as you guys and gals. Perhaps one of the first is that some users had an account name, and a display name. Now you only have a display name... Lots of other stuff, I'll get to that, but more stuff to fix first! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eruptn 95 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 WOW, hope this works as well as it looks. Refreshing.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 And its not even Friday! Due to a communications error with one of Karls server guys, a change was made to the server that broke the old system, so we did the update today. Still quite a bit to sort out, but its going....

SloopJohnB 323 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 what xxxx does not work.😆 Plenty of new emojis🙈🙉🙊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It seems faster. I usually hate updates as I can never find tab and things. But this is not bad at all. In fact I think it may actually be better than the old software 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Wheels, I hope its better! Been a lot of time and effort, I'd be pissed if it was worse! There are lots of new features, some of which are not yet enabled, while I figure out how they work. More to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 197 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yep it's not easy to log in. Account name doesn't work, email doesn't work, I had to use display name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Loving the new platform IT, really good new features and I logged in just fine with my display name (it did offer my email as default, which might be confusing people). Thanks for all your hard work on the site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Account name doesn't work, email doesn't work, I had to use display name. The Display names have now replaced the old account user names in this version. The only option in the upgrade was that or to loose the display names and have account names only. So that would be confusing, as some would not be recognized as the same poster. I had to pick one, and you'll all get used to it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
