You read that right, aggiefans is getting a big upgrade to the latest vbulletin (3.5.2) but this is a major upgrade and will cause most of our "addons" to break so for a few days things will look wrong or misbehave.

I expect vbradio, downloads, arcade and maybe the contest to break so we might not have a basketball contest next week if things do not go smoothly. Also the "theme" on this site will probably revert back to the orig vbulletin one so it will take some time before we all see the good ole "aggiefans" look.

Also related to this we will be putting in alot of new features (and a completly redesigned front page). But there will be a new and improved arcade system, updated vbradio, chat and downloads section. Plus a few suprises. :)

Me and Vly are going to start on the upgrade either late sunday night or monday night so if you try to come by and see a error page you will know why.

================================================== ======
VBRADIO


Also check out the radio application. I put up a bunch of new TV feeds (they will require broadband to view though). But Im also trying out a new "hack" to the radio application so it can support firefox. It seems to work on my 1.0.7 version (there is no activeX addon yet for 1.5 so that will still not function correctly). But check it out and let me know if you like this way better or the old one (keep in mind this new version works with firefox).

Dont pay attention to the Gamers Euphoria Radio stuff.... thats just the default way its setup and we will change it but I want to be sure its better than the old way before I bother modifying it.

Note for the TV feed: "double clicking" takes the feed to full screen. And I know the "Austin Music Network" feed is down I would assume it will be coming back soon. And the size of the window can be fixed.

I just checked out the TV feeds and they work surprisingly well on my computer (I have the slowest cable speed cox offers). Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see the new features.

Just don't lose anyone's handle here on the boards while you guys are messing with the system.

Yeah, we don't want to see what polish and '06 will do if they have to start over their post accumulation.

i wouldnt mind that.... but we will make a backup of the database before we do anything so all your posts/usernames will still be there even if something goes wrong with the upgrade.

You already are a posting whore. If I want to know what every post of your's will look like today, I'll just go to Yahoo news and read the headlines. Of your 4300 posts, I think 4200 have been links to news stories that we all already knew about! ;)
