Team Adam's Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sorry for the prolonged outage, hopefully no one jumped off the ledge. Recently our hosting service moved us to a cloud server and the data center ended up having some kind of massive hardware failure which caused the forum to be down. Everything looks to be back up and running. In response to this we're expediting the move to our new server/host and the whole new AF layout. As it stands now the swap will likely happen this Friday (typically one of the slowest traffic days here on AF) so the interruption will be minimized and we can address any hiccups over the weekend. The new updated AF has a whole new look that lines up with our store site and utilizes a whole new software that will allow us to do a lot more and make your experience on AF even more enjoyable! It also features a built in mobile skin, so browsing AF on your phone won't require 3rd party apps like tapatalk. Some preview images below. Thanks again for your patience and we look forward to rolling out the all new AF later this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 If I hadn't take vacation last week I'd have had it done and we'd have missed the downtime... oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yes, imagine the number of outages if the cloud provider had issues with yours. The week following will see a mass exodus from that provider, just like if a data center that is supposed to have no power outages etc. goes dark at all. Glad to see the forum back on line.

GerryC Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Invision Powerboard, good choice. It's what I've used personally and on client sites for the past 10 years, pretty fluid and very feature-rich. Can't wait for the transition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matts88yj Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hopefully there will be a dark version skin to simulate the look of the forum now color wise for the background. Easier on the eyeballs for longer viewing times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
