In Development Platform upgrade

[Nik]

Hi all,

CCF will be undergoing a significant platform upgrade over the next couple of weeks. This was originally planned a few months ago but had some personal setbacks to deal with.

All said and done I will gradually disable certain features prior to the upgrade before going ahead with it so do not panic if you see some things stop working. It's temporary.

The base forum functionality should largely work as it does today.

Will keep you posted but expect sporadic downtime for 10-30 mins on occasion.

There are loads of new features that I'll be building on top of the new upgraded forum - particularly around Events that has been sorely lacking.

Thanks for your patience.

Folks, have started the migration for CCF. There will be sporadic outages and as mentioned I will be disabling all functionality other than basic posting as part of the migration. Will keep you updated as this will be done in stages.

Few noteworthy items.....

To keep up with the the cool kids these days below are notable changes to CCF:

1. The new CCF theme will by default come Dark in colour - you can switch it back to white/light but Dark looks good. Takes a bit of adjustment at first if you've never seen it, easier on the eyes and improves your phone battery life when browsing the forum. So think of it as environmentally friendly or sort of like an EV without the EV bit.

2. Most features will be brought back incrementally so it will take a little while to get us back to parity

3. There's a totally new Events system in the works - separate thread on this one

The initial cut will be pretty barebones so don't run away. Will be a little different.

As always suggestions, feedback is welcomed.
