New Forum Software

[flyingron]

Greetings,

One of the reasons I came on the Management Council is to get us from XenForo version1 to 2. I now would like to announce that the software is ready. If you would like to see what it would look like or offer suggestions, you can find the upgraded software in a test configuration at test.pilotsofamerica.com. This is a clone of the running site as of a week or so ago so your passwords from that time will get you in. This site is disposable so nothing you post there will persist.

If all goes well, I would like to do the actual upgrade on next Monday. This gives me a whole week to deal with things before I depart for Oshkosh. The site will be down for 4-6 hours while the transition is being made.

Thanks,
FlyingRon

And let me just say that Ron’s hard work on this is commendable. This will be a big move forward for Pilots of America!

Thank you, Ron!

Don't worry about the long outage. @eman1200 will be out of town that day.

Someone asked what's the differences between XF1 (what' we're running) and the new stuff XF2. Attached is a link to an article on the upgrade.
