Well, this has probably been the least smooth website upgrade I've ever done, and I apologize. I copied all 150 tables by hand at 1am last night (new website tables had different structures so that's the only way to migrate) and then by 3am I was ready to rename the old vb folder and move the test folder over... Only our hosting company wouldn't allow me to remove the vb folder while it was still in use. Since Savvy is worldwide (YAY!), our servers were being pinged all night long so I never had a free time when I was allowed to move the forum. Which left me with my shaky plan B... copy the test server files into the vb folder manually. Sadly, this is a long procress so I wasn't done before most Americans woke up. Good news though is that I'm about 45 minutes away from being done. YAY!
I appreciate everyone being patient as we migrate over to our new website. I had to pull a few of the home page widgets just to speed up the copying process, but they'll be online at some point today. These new widgets include Twitter feeds and member outside blogrolls and a few other nifty items. I wanted to get our core forums up and running asap so no one was without access to their workshops for very long first.
So, you should see the links in your emails slowly working and the rest of the site going live within the next few hours. Please hold all bug reports until this evening to be sure the entire test server has been copied over.
Thanks for your patience, and we hope you enjoy the new site features!
