Allotments4All Upgrade
« on: September 04, 2012, 21:17:44 »
All

I am preparing to upgrade the software the website uses, this should result in improved performance, easier use and in general more lovelyness  :)

In the short term some features may be unavailable as I move them back into place, but all should return email eventually!

I'll update you when I have planned the upgrade, but it will hopefully be completed by the 16 September,

If you want a sneaky peak at the new possible layout let me know and I will set up a public test site.

Thanks

Dan

An upgrade sounds good, forum has been great for a while but I noticed it getting a bit sticky just lately.
I'm quite excited to see how it will look once it's done ;D

 Hi Dan, would it make any difference if you got rid of peeps that have not posted in a couple of years only new peeps that registered & never came back again.
 Just wondered!!!.
Hope you are keeping good. ;D

Yes Rosebud it would save me trolling through the names on the calender to see whether they are still active before I wish them happy birthday
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Thanks Dan for all your hard work.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

Sounds good, but I hope you will continue having the current topics being discussed on the front.

The list of current topics will still be on the home page... and I'll have a think about the birthday issue.

Thanks

It'll be a bit like a birthday surprise... something to look forward to - sounds exciting (as well as lots of hard work).

Some people may be getting a bit of a surprise that they know nothing about.... guess it's up to them to snoop look around.

Eight days to go and counting......

Now there's an idea.

HAPPY NEW UPGRADE, or whatever, I thought I'd logged on to the wrong site for a moment. Hey, don't get rid of peeps who don't post very often, I look in on a regular basis to keep up to date although I don't post very often, don't obliterate me!  ;D

There is no front screen of latest posts very disappointed.

Sorry this is like every other forum now.  No idea of what is being discussed.

Sorry but please can we have the old format back asap.

I miss the old home page. It was a place to start for me. This is going to take some getting used to. Glad to see that you still have the new replies and new pots by yer name though
