Well... hello everybody!
We're back online now after a long day of updating, coding, testing, eating, and fixing things. This is all a learning process for me, so even though everything looks to be working nicely now, don't pour on too much Haterade if something doesn't quite work yet.
There are still some features I want to implement, but the biggest hurdles (implementing WordPress and updating phpBB) are complete. I've tested things on multiple browsers on both Mac OS X and Windows XP / 7. There are a few tiny issues with the site and I.E. 7/8 on Windows. Solution for now is called Firefox. It's all visual quibbles, so functionality isn't impacted if your hand is forced to use IE.
The forum (obviously) has been re-skinned in an attempt of working better with the new look. Yep, buttah is gone for now. If someone misses it dearly, I would happily install a BB3 version of our old skin. It won't convert by itself, and I don't have the time to re-create it 100%. Also, if anyone has suggestions for the current theme, please let me know.
I'm open to suggestions. Most things are very easy to change - I just have to work around my "real job" schedule.
I've been on my laptop since 3 PM today. Bedtime for now... and I'll be gone at Busch Gardens tomorrow. Post up impressions, comments, qualms, great-hate (just kidding plz), love, goodness in here and I'll get back to y'all tomorrow night sometime.
Enjoy MM '09!!
