According to Proboards Support...
Due to server downtime as well as addition of new features, when the board reactivates in its V4 form, many bugs may end up in the site's coding.
Unless it causes a large problem for everyone, I will keep the board open (not in Maintenence Mode), but keep in mind that I will be experimenting with coding, so graphics or features may shift between page loadings.
Since one of the new features of V4 are some new uBBc buttons, I will hold off on updating those as well. However, after the upgrade I will start my work on them, as well as adding a few Metool smileys.
I apologize for any inconvenience that this causes, but at the end, Proboards should look better, load faster, and be more efficient.
April 30th - This support forum will be brought down for the upgrade. Expected downtime is approximately 8 to 12 hours. After the upgrade, we will be testing all of the features on here to ensure that there are no problems. This will be the largest test of the system since the Open Beta started. While it is good that many people have tested the system in the beta, I feel that it would be good for us to test it in this live environment where hundreds, or thousands, of simultaneous users are on the system using it.
May 2nd - Assuming that no major problems occurred with the upgrade of the support forum, on May 2nd we will begin upgrading servers to version 4. We will upgrade in sequential order, starting with server 1. Downtime for each server can be as low as 10 hours and as high as 24 hours. I will be doing, at least at the start, 4 servers a day. All data on the servers will be backed in case of any problems. In the event that any server has major problems, we will revert that server back to v3 until such time that we can fix the problem and continue the v4 upgrade. Even though I anticipate that there will not be problems, we're just going to make sure we don't have any
I estimate that by May 7th we will have all servers upgraded to v4, but it is completely possible that all servers may be completed before this date.
