ummm...smileys have disappeared? Only words show now...eg..."wink" "Cheesey", etc. Just an upgrade bug?...please say you are not getting rid of them!

I'm getting the same thing, a little box with the word"cheesey" plus a smaller box inside it with an x.

But seriously, the strange characters should *mostly* be gone from all posts. I may have missed a few here or there (particularly in the Robservations), so if anyone happens to come across any, please notify me here in this topic.

There are more tactful ways of telling me I have to get the hell off the board.   Sheesh!

Thank you! for the little boxes that say "laughing" and "wink #2" in them!

an announcement will be made in this topic prior to the upgrade taking place so that most people won't be too surprised to find that the forum is offline.

If all goes well, the upgrade will take place tonight.  :)

The upgrade to SMF 1.1.2 has been completed successfully - however, by no means are the changes done. Only a handful of the SMF 1.1.2 features have been activated, and many others will be activated in the coming days - though we'll do our best to stagger them out to try not to overwhelm too many members with too many new features all at once.  ;)

At the moment the forum is simply using the SMF default theme, but that will change very shortly. As soon as the bloodred and Variations on Blue themes have been upgraded to SMF 1.1.2, they will return. Though other newer themes will probably precede that. Barring something unforeseen happening (like maybe once I go to bed, I don't wake up until tomorrow afternoon  :D), one of those newer themes (Lightning) will replace the default theme before the day is over.

So, enjoy browsing the new features that have already been activated. And if you have any questions whose answers can't seem to be found in the forum's new Help section (accessible by clicking the "HELP" button in the main menu), please post them in this topic and we'll do our best to answer as soon as possible.

Have fun!  :)

I forgot to mention that several aspects of the stats page are off. But that will be adjusted in due time...
