SITE UPGRADES
@everyone
Hey, hey, hey! We have got some great news. Over the coming week of the
9th of May we are doing a massive and MUCH needed site upgrade. There's going to be all kinds of cool new features as well as a return to some VERY missed and beloved ones such as live alert notifications and
DRAFTS. That's right! They're coming back baby!!!!!! We could not be MORE excited for the new changes.
That being said there are a few housekeeping items that are VERY important.
PLEASE READ1) If you use the bookmark feature on the website please
MANUALLY back up your bookmarks individually to your browser or a writing document of links. We will temporarily lose this feature, but in doing so we will lose all our bookmarks. When the site is live again, you will have to manually re-add them again.
2) YES, we ARE backing up the website. (Technically we automatically do regularly already but we are doing an extra special JUST IN CASE one for this) Your threads, posts, profiles, etc are SAFE and will remain so. Do not panic!
3)
DO NOT PANIC! The site may go down for several hours, be up and down for a while, and also temporarily look really hideous. The ship is not going down and the crew will be working hard to make it even better than before. There's a lot of complicated and tedious customization that needs to be done and we are very grateful for your patience in this matter. We will be working as fast and carefully as possible to get SotE back up and running better than ever before with all the amazing new features like
DRAFTS.
4) It is highly advised that you save posts off-site before posting them during the period of time we are setting up the forum next week, just in case the website goes down in the middle of your work. There is nothing worse than writing a masterpiece and losing it the moment you hit submit. (Also why
DRAFTS are going to be amazing!)
