Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Currently, TGP is optimal in a 1280x800 screen resolution. It's finally here.... We have made the large and cumbersome move to the most up-to-date software that Invision has released. I would like to apologize for the lack of warning you all received. To be quite honest, nobody was expecting the change to happen tonight, or for the board to go out of whack, or to be temporarily out of service. I got home from work and said to Vin, "I'm ready to do this right now." and we went from there.... Again, I apologize and hopefully if and when these kinds of things happen in the future, you (and I) will know in advance.Thus far, the site will be very bare-bones. Most, if not all of the features and applications previously installed are not compatible with this current version of the software and it will take us a little time to restore those features.A few of the things you will most likely notice right away....- Other than one skin we used before the upgrade, every skin has been modified or deleted. There will be another thread on this, so if you haven't read it, please check out the rest of the content in the Announcements section.- The arcade and bookie are gone for the time being and possibly permanently -- the future of these applications has yet to be decided. - The IPchat and Shoutboxes are temporarily missing. They will be up either early this morning if Vin has time, or sometime when I get off work. Sometime before the DEN-BAL game these will be back.- The Rep system is a little different, if you want to call it that. This version supports more of a facebook "like" system. Likes still accumulate and count towards your positive rep. - This new version of the forum did not support both the profile avatars and posting avatars... Thus it deleted all of one sort, which appears to be the avatars shown in posts. I apologize for this miscue, hopefully you can find adequate avatars to replace the ones you lost.Those should be the obvious things you notice right off the bat. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns... Please post them here and an Vin or I will get to them as soon as humanly possible.Thanks for being awesome, and hopefully this opens some new doors for us here at the Gridiron Palace! Thanks Again,Vin & Favre4Ever Edited September 5, 2013 by Favre4Ever 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick 791 Posted September 5, 2013 Board looks a little weird as of now lol. There's two 'Forums' tabs on the top left and the overall format is a bit sketchy. Granted, this isn't the finished product so no biggie. Just get the shoutbox up and running before tonight's game and I'll be satisfied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm seeing the same thing, so it's probably something F4E and Vin are still working out. Regardless, kudos to you two for dedicating so much of your time to the upgrade this close to football season. We appreciate all that you do! Edited September 5, 2013 by SteVo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUCK3Y3 44 Posted September 5, 2013 We cannot get rid of the arcade! I waste so much time there. I wouldn't mind some fresh game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully we'll have it cleared up tonight, we just ran out of time this morning with work and whatnot. For what it's worth, the chat does work in the mobile skin.

Milla4Prez63 678 Posted September 5, 2013 I just thought my laptop was being weird when I saw the site. I'm sure things will be fine once there is some getting used to it, as long as the shoutbox returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLUE 1,026 Posted September 5, 2013 We used this last night after the shoutbox and site (minus those that were in chat at the beginning of the upgrades) went out: http://tinychat.com/rc1kh You don't need an account to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted September 5, 2013 Those of you with the "not digging the layout" or "all messed up", if you could post a SS of the front page / index, I would appreciate it. It's almost identical as the last layout for me on my screen, minus the little tilt to the nav bar at the top. Pretty sure it has to do with screen resolution for the time being. Although I have checked the more popular 1366 and 1280 resolutions and everything is fairly intact. Your help would be appreciated going into as much detail as possible. Thanks!

Bucman 891 Posted September 5, 2013 I don't remeber the subforums showing up on the main page as links. It makes the page bigger then it needs to be. I'm digging the new banner though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted September 5, 2013 They were always there. That just seems to be a formatting error. Thank you sir! I shall add that to the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
