Hello Mac-Forums members & visitors. The Mac-Forums Staff has some very exciting news to share with everyone. Mac-Forums very soon will have a new look & feel...with an upcoming software upgrade.
Mac-Forums has been running on the current site software for approximately the last 10 years...and after 10 years things are a bit dated:
- Most significantly the current Mac-Forums mobile device experience is not the best. With the new site software...Mac-Forums mobile device experience should be MUCH improved.
- Website speed should improve.
- Site security will improve.
- As well as many up-to-date features & ways of doing things expected from a modern internet forum.
We're sure there may also be some important initial details many of you may be interested in regarding member accounts. To the best of our knowledge...most member account data should be unaffected:
- Login's & Passwords
- Avatar's
- PM messages
- Post Count
- Reputation
The upgraded site software does have a different reputation/reward system. Current member reputation is converted to "Likes".
If you have any questions...please let us know. We will do our best to answer all of them.
The new site software has many new features (or different ways of accomplishing the same things we do currently)...and we may not immediately know exactly how every feature works (at this time). Many initial questions will likely revolve around "How do I do this?" or "How do I do that?". Rest assured...once the new software is up & running...we will make every effort to answer all questions.
Timing for the changes is estimated to be within the next 7-10 days.
Prepare for some awesome excitement coming soon!
