The site will only be down for a few moments (a few hours) while I switch over to the new version. The bulk of the work will be done on a copy of the site, and then merged back into the live site. This probably won't happen for a month or two, though.

Just wanted to clear up any misconceptions of anybody not having their daily fix of ChiefDelphi.com or anything.

Darn, and I thought I was finally going to get work done for once.

I feel old, I remember when we went from vB2 to vB3 and what a big deal that was....

How does this compare in terms of magnitude? I remember there being some interesting...well...side effects of such a large upgrade last time around.

Most of the site will look & function the same. There are a few things here & there that will look or work slightly different. I think the majority of the high-traffic areas will remain unchanged, though. It won't be as big of a shock as vB2 -> vB3 was.

They're running a 3.6.0 version on http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/ if you were curious and wanted to look.

Are you going to enable the skype feature?

[Tytus Gerrish]

can we have more green dots?

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Looks like there's some cool Web 2.0 stuff hidden in there. This should work out nicely with the CD Media section.

Yeah. I may or may not integrate my Ajax stuff with theirs. We'll have to see.

Why just settle for green? I think instead of Green we should start to migrate to Gold dots or even purple. Oh the possibilities are end less. Tytus, you can have my green dots anytime you want.

I'd rather that the phrases change. Like with over 10,000 points it says something like "Andy Baker had this much rep... 3 years ago" and when it's under 1,000 it says "They're just dots -Brandon Martus".

Who's agitating my dots?

Tytus, are you agitating my dots?
