Exclamation Site Upgrade / Downtime

Hey Everyone!

We've got some exciting news, Internet Brands has confirmed that we will be moving to the VBB 3.7 platform in the next week.

We are expecting to do the upgrade on Tuesday, meaning we'll be down for the entire day.

Please note that the timing is subject to change, but it's definitely going to happen in the short term.

What changes will we notice with the site upgrade?

Or is it cleanup/maintenance type stuff?

The forums been a bit sluggish lately, so hopefully this will speed things up... There will also be some changes to allow us to move off topic posts from here to the off topic forums (cartalk, etc)...

IB will be implemementing their search engine which will allow for searches on 3 character strings...

And with the upgrades to the forum software, adding new forums will be easier... a NSX and MDX forum are coming soon after the upgrade...

I agree, the look and feel is more modern; however, search isn't working properly, or threads haven't been ported over.

well, when I search for my previous threads ( as I did earlier, to find something of interest ), I receive no results. Maybe it's just a template issue, ie, the page showing no results because of a malformed tag, I'm not sure. but hopefully that helps.
