  • Xenforo Cloud upgraded our forum to XenForo version 2.3.4. This update has created styling issues to our current templates, this is just a temporary look. We will continue to work on clearing up these issues for the next few days and restore the site to it's more familiar look, but please report any other issues you may experience so we can look into. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

The Official Anti - Change Thread

So was this a planned outage?

Don't websites usually... provide some sort of notice?

Put up a banner, weeks in advance?

Instead of just randomly going down for 24 hours?
Ownership was informed that an update was coming. Site admins were not. And literally nobody knew that said update would bring the site's theme to its knees.

I for one am hoping XFCloud provides "testing" instances to clients in the future to prevent this sort of thing. IIRC this is arguably the first truly big update since they started the service (certainly the first since HF moved to same) and some lessons should be learned.
 
Hey I have an idea, let's change how the boards look and move everything around at exactly the midpoint of the season to screw with everyone!

This black and blue theme is ghastly

I don't know who this Xenforo guy is but I'm going to slug him in the face 🤬
Xenforo is the folks behind both the software that makes this forum possible and the cloud hosting service the forum runs on. We're ever-so-slightly dependent on them for our very existence.

Life's like that sometimes. :(
 
Just here to say after understanding the situation, thank you admins for working hard to try and bring our forum back. Tough situation to be thrown into having everything reset unexpectedly and a bunch of upset users.
