Dear Mustang6G Members,
We are very excited to announce that Mustang6G.com will be undergoing a HUGE upgrade starting this Saturday, July 21 at 2:00AM Eastern Time. The site will be down anywhere from 6-12 hours.
At that time, we will be transitioning from the outdated vBulletin software we currently run to Xenforo!
Many of you may already be familiar with Xenforo as its adoption by online forums has become widespread. If you are, you likely already know that it provides a much more modern interface combined with very practical and user friendly features.
Here is a list of the features and content that will and will not change.
What will be ported over?
What will be lost?
**We ask that everyone please take the necessary steps to save/prepare for the loss of the above features and content**
We really think you will love the look, feel and new features of the new site. Here's a list of all the upgrades (some will be added a few days after the port has completed).
Improvements on the new Xenforo software:
We’ve done our best to cover all of the bases, but with a data move this size there are always complications so we ask for your patience in the coming weeks as we smooth things out. I'll post up additional items or issues if I missed any.
Please use this thread to post any questions or concerns you have and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks and we can't wait to show you our new look come Saturday!!
