Hello,

This notice is to inform you that the Neocodex will be undergoing maintenance on December 6, 2006 to install the new Invision Power Board release (version 2.2.0 Final). Expected length of downtime is unknown, but estimated to be around 6 hours starting at 8:00 PM EST so that we can install our modifications and ensure a smooth transition.

Some board functions will most likely not be installed by then, so everything should be running smoothly the next day. The board will be opened before then. wink.gif

Please note: Some skins may need to be removed due to incompatibility. If this happens, we'll just have to select some new skins. tongue.gif

Program Users: Programs secured with the CodexChex Validation System will be non-functional for the time the board is down. The validation system will be up and running when maintenance is finished tomorrow (Wednesday).

File backups are being done tonight and most of our installed modifications will be documented and converted to 2.2 standard (whatever that may be, I shall educate myself within the next couple hours tongue.gif) in between now and then to ease installation.

Thanks!

~ Neocodex Administration

Nope. sad.gif IBStore completion is not part of the maintenance this time unfortunately. It won't be for another little while until it's all set up.

The release candidates came out a few months ago, however the final version is being released tomorrow four hours before we do our maintenance. tongue.gif We'll be one of the first to have the final version on the internet. tongue.gif

We're going to install some more later once we find some. tongue.gif I might even be able to install some of the ones we have right now back, it all depends on compatibility. biggrin.gif

Oh, don't worry about Rooq. It's a very popular skin, and if it does turn out to be incompatible, developers will quickly sort that out.

Looking forward to all this, as well. Pity we have to lose the DHTML Menu because someone copied us. Oh well. Not that I'm in need of the menu all that often, it's just pretty cool.

GMT would be 8+5, since EST is GMT-5. So it'd be 1am, since 8+5=13, and 13=1.
I think. O.o
