Hi,

Invision have released version 3.0 of their forum software "Invision Power Board" which is the technology behind Web Designer Forum. As a result of this i'll be upgrading the forums early this week (Possibly even tonight) - so there may be some downtime whilst this happens.

In order to get it to the new version as quickly as possible I was thinking of a 2 stage approach.

Stage 1. Upgrade to new version with default Invision skin, test & change logo to WDF
Stage 2. Re-Skin forum & have 2 versions full & fixed width versions, which will come later.

You'll notice with the upgrade the forum appearance will change slightly, but the structure will remain the same.

Some new member features Include:
New Member Profile Area
Status Updates e.g. like Facebook - Ben is currently: Eating Dinner
Personal Conversation style PM system
Reputation (Will trial this to see how we get on)
New iPhone Skin
Friendly URL's
Multiple Uploads with attachments
Login support for OpenID & Facebook Connect
& a heck of al lot more!

The upgrades sound awesome, there's a reputation system on a forum that I visit and there are many cliques and situations where individuals gang up on one person.

I've been on forums with rep systems, and thanks systems, and their haven't been problems, but i get what you mean, and it seems more than likely in most places, but i don't think we have the type of people her to make that into a problem.

Look forward to seeing the new features though (: and remember to backup ;) wouldn't want all our post counts hitting 0 >.<
