We’re currently going through a period of some neat and nifty updates to the site, which should make the forum more user-friendly. Unfortunately, to do this requires the forums to be closed from time to time (though we keep this as rare as possible, and try to pick less busy times if we can). As part of this, the…

Wouldn't a more convenient time (for the users, rather than the techies :rotfl:) not be between something like 03:00 to 05:00 on a Sunday morning, perhaps? In the days of the mainframe we always had to suffer these sort of times... :mad:

Yes, but then Martin might have to pay overtime or make an anti-social hours payment.

Does anyone know what these forum closures are for??

Performance? New features?

CLLC

According to the vBulletin site, the latest version of the forum software is 3.8.3 and were running 3.8.2. It looks like a maintenance upgrade so you won't be seeing any new features as such

Issues resolved by 3.8.3 include the following:
Date picker in private message filter ignores start of week preference URL="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=27516"]27516[/URL

Last post title on profile page allows permission violation URL="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=27548"]27548[/URL

Potential for redundant SQL query when searching for posts URL="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=27575"]27575[/URL

List of members in social groups has no specified ordering URL="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=27636"]27636[/URL

Potential timezone confusion affecting statistics generation and display URL="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=27586"]27586[/URL

Inability to search for users with a specified custom field by entering text URL="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=27610"]27610[/URL

Can anyone help me. Booked flights with easyjet. 2 tickets but only myself travelling. The idea is to take two bags x 20kg rather than pay excess baggage charges.

So basically 2 seats are cheaper even though i am travelling alone. The booking went through no problem

will i be allowed to do this at the airport and has anyone else tried this!!

Sorry, seems the award needs be passed on.........!

(see my post above)

Seriously, looks as if there may a glitch if these new user posts are appearing here.
