Forum Shutdown For Upgrades

[Edward Skira]

Hi all,


We are going to be shutting down the forum from late night Friday June 12, 2015 through early Monday morning June 15, 2015 for a significant upgrade. During that time the rest of the site (news, database) will remain live. Expect some significant changes come Monday!


UT Staff.

I am looking forward to the upgrade.

It would be great to give us previews of the upgrade.

Will UT use different forum software? Will it have a different design? Will it be snappier and/or more stable?

 

[Edward Skira]

We are switching to new forum software. I think you might have experience with it.

 

[DSC]

Good news, your current software is rather clunky and the search is ghastly!

UT is my drug, and you're cutting me off from it

 

[Edward Skira]

My drug and many others as well! But we will come out of it even better.

 

[Johnny Au]

I have a feeling that UT would move to XenForo. A weekend without UT will be well worth the upgrade.

This will be a tough weekend filled with withdrawals.

 

[Edward Skira]

Yes we are moving to XenForo. Been playing with it the last few days and it looks great. We will no longer have to +1 as a "like" feature is part of it. Stay tuned!

What time exactly will the forums be shutting down tonight?

 

[Edward Skira]

Around midnight lasting hopefully not too far into Monday morning.

+1

Beauty! Sounds like it will be worth the wait!

 

[Johnny Au]

In a few minutes, UT will go dark as part of the upgrading process.

 

[TheTigerMaster]

15 more minutes. I'll keep UT in my thoughts during what will be the longest weekend of my life. Goodbye everyone! See you on the other side!

I think without this site I spent my whole weekend crawled up watching netflix all day. This is my addiction.

So glad its back! The new skin will take time to get used to.
