Most of you probably already know that Ggoodie has been working on a new skin for the site. Tomorrow the site will be going into Maintenance Mode from 12:00 AM-12:00 PM Central while we implement the new skin. This means that the forum will be temporarily closed to everyone except staff members while we make the changes. As a result, live chat will also be gone from the site temporarily; However, you can still access it by going directly to its URL: odbf.chatango.comThere you will be able to chat with us, and we will keep you constantly informed of our progress. I hope you guys are as excited about the new skin as I am! Hopefully this skin will revamp the site and breathe new life into it like never before. I would like to personally thank Ggoodie for making this new skin for us. And I thank all the forum members for their cooperation and support. |

The skin isn't even finished yet, he has nearly 100 icons to finish.

So, it's you can't log in or you can't even go to the site? if your not staff?

The skin isn't even finished yet, he has nearly 100 icons to finish. I think he's just going to use the current icons. Besides, he told me and TheListo on live chat that we could put it up tomorrow. |

Once the new skin and coding are in place, then we can work on the icons.....for now let's just focus on getting this done.

Why does the site have to go into maintenance in order to put in the new skin, or are we doing other things such as reviewing the codes, adding others in, taking some out, et cetera?

It will also most likely malfunction for a little bit. You have to set everything up just right. Also, during the adding of the codes it will look very weird and ugly. It should only take a max of a half an hour.
EDIT: It will take max a half hour if we dont' encounter any problems. It may take longer if codes start to affect eatch other.

I'm pretty sure it won't take 12 hours, even if codes DO conflict with each other.

You should backup the codes now, put in backup skins code only, and use that to transfer. then remove backup skins and add all H/F needed. That should be the first try.

I have already backed up the codes about half an hour before you posted. If something goes horribly wrong concerning the codes, we should be good...

Actually that wouldn't work BoL. The skin is already in place. The only thing that needs to be transferred are the codes. Those are what really make the magic. The skin itself is only colors.

And I see that some of the codes (if not, all) have been transferred over.
You see, that's why I want you to be the GA on my forums.
BECAUSE YOU ROCK AT IT!

I'm assuming that was a compliment.
Ggoodie, why the heck did you include your real name?
The new skin is awesome, by the way. Just figured I'd mention that. You did leave an option to use the old one, though, right? The classic skin?

First, I took my name out. Second, no. I did not. There were four colors in the whole skin, all of which i still have. Black, tan, blue, and dark red. If you really want it back i can remake it.
