Yes, finally, we are upgrading the forum software that LandyZone is running on.

On Monday July 20th LandyZone will be taken down in the morning and converted to XenForo, a modern forum software package that is a huge upgrade over our current outdated vBulletin installation.

LandyZone will be down all day and maybe into the evening. I'm really hoping it doesn't take that long though.

The new software is fully responsive, which called for a total redesign of the site. This means it works as well on mobile phones and tablets as it does on your computer. No more tapatalk required!

A few of us have been working on the new system for a while now, and whilst we hope to have got most of the bugs out of the way, I'm sure with such a big change we will have problems. When the site comes back up please bear with us!

Community, Social Groups will not make it into the new site, so if you have any content in that area that you would like to save, now is the time.
 
I spend quite a lot of my working hours launching new websites and generally most people are quite excited about it.

Me too, but I now fecking hate it - fills me with dreadd about what the client is going to banging on about next when they change their mind.

Maybe I'm in the wrong game?! :doh:
 
plus there are a bunch of old buggers on here who have probably just mastered how to use this forum

Guilty as charged! :eek: :D Havent even mastered it, but I can look at LZ live! :)

Think you forgot the word grumpy between the of and the old! ;)
 
But the pink and baby blue you wanted wasn't really an improvement :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I liked the pink and blue. A bit of a feminine touch around these parts wouldn't be a bad thing... I mean beebeee's cushions only go so far...
 
Don't panic Rosie. My solution was to stop you having your lunch break but Accy and Roy wouldn't allow that. :rolleyes::p

They were worried that if she didn't have a lunch break there'd be nothing at all for her to do at work :p:p:D
 
Just a reminder that tomorrow is the big upgrade/downgrade/lalalalaaaa day. Down from about 9am tomorrow morning.. Updates and stressful moments may be posted on our facebook and twitter pages during the downtime.

So please feel free to follow and like us, and maybe the #landyzone hashtag can be used for members to communicate with each other during the downtime?
