Site founder - Your best nightmare

Several days ago, and at the recommendation of both Invisionfree and Zeta Boards support techs, I decided to "opt in" to have this message board's primary format converted to the ZetaBoards format. Invisionfree has been a most reliable web hosting service, with little or any downtime from IF server #15, which this site is assigned to. I have been told that the ZetaBoards format will include more features and functions for members, which is why I decided to opt for the upgrade. The conversion process of IF boards to Zeta Boards is currently underway by the Zeta Boards staff. The conversions are being done manually right now, which is more time consuming. An automated format converter is being designed, and tested by ZB staff. It will be used after it has been successfully tested. I may, or may not, receive some advance warning that Monsterland Forums is about to undergo the format change which, for a message board this size, will probably take 2-3 hours. Within the next week, possibly two, members trying to access this message board, including myself, may receive a message, when trying to login, that the board is being upgraded and that access is impossible. This will be a temporary issue only. There are currently a far more limited number of forum skins and site modifications available for ZetaBoards sites than there are for Invisionfree hosted boards. That means that after the conversion this site may lack a "skin". I'm told coders are busy compiling skins and other CSS and HTML codes to be made available for those IF admins who have opted for the upgrade, and it is an upgrade, to ZetaBoards web hosting. I will open a topic thread called "ZetaBoards Comments/Questions" after the upgrade is finished, so that any members here with questions/comments about the new format can post them. I would like to ask everyone here to bear with this change, and me, as I work to stay on top it. If anyone has any questions right now about this upgrade to ZB please PM me or email me at packmule84@yahoo.com. Here is a link with some info about ZetaBoards and forum hosting services provided for IF admins: http://s1.zetaboards.com/zb/learn/ Thank you. Sincerely, Lee "Packmule" Merritt :) |
