UPGRADE IS NOT YET COMPLETE
#1

I'm just making this known: The update is not yet complete. I opened the forums up so everyone could post, but everything is not yet finished. Expect the portal update to be finished tomorrow, as well as a few things on the forums.
Just a note though, about some changes to expect:
- The shop, as it was, would not work with the new version of the forums. Everyone's data was not lost though, and an update for the shop is being written so it can work with these forums. When the update is stable I will re-implement it, and everyone's inventories will be transferred.
- For a number of reasons, the undocked forums will be removed. Some of these reasons include search engine spider issues, some members going directly to the undocked forums not seeing anything else happening on the site, among some technical issues. The docked forums will run more smoothly though, when re-implemented, since linkbars can be completely unloaded in the forum view to decrease the number of queries (and remove load issues for some people).
- Quantum Star is going offline, but when the next version is stable, I will be upgrading to that. There are a lot of reasons for this, and I will probably go into it more later.
****************************************************
Anyway, the forums should be working, along with the arcade and a few other things I moved over. The skin is still a little rough, but I will be working on it. Once this default skin is working as intended I will re-implement the other skins in the closest manner as possible.
Tomorrow, the rest of the site should return.
Just keep in mind that I cannot guarantee that there won't be a rollback to the moment of this post, so back up anything you post after this that you don't want to lose.
(this only applies to anything you post after the forums came back up)

I really hope the Arcade doesn't reset and we have to get our highscores all over again...
But thanks for all this Cspace! Now no one will suffer from SFWS - Seed Forums Withdrawal Syndrome.

High scores won't be resetting with the update

You can actually use the arcade now. The link is still up at the top, but below the header.

Great to have things back again, even if it's a little weird temporarily being back on undocked until the upgrade finishes.
Nice work Cspace, it sounds like you've been working hard the last few days. If you don't mind me asking, what knocked the site off in the first place and prompted the upgrade?

And... To echo Goto, what did prompt you to update the entire forum and site?
I believe the forums were in need of an update. Not in need, just that they could use one. I'm registered to several other forums on the internet, and I've seen several features that the CS forums were without. Now I'm noticing a couple of those features as I view just this thread, like the color-picking option, the full edit and quick edit, etc.
Anyways, great job with the updating Cspace!
