GreekChat will be temporarily offline for a few hours sometime... this week.

Saturday & Sunday I got the new server prepped. Basically reinstalled & reconfigured as per the tech recipe that I've been sorting out over the last few months.

Another few things to do today, then will be moving GC over to the new server, doing another software upgrade, then re-opening the site. That should be before the day is over.

By the way, I don't want to disappoint anyone who may have missed where I posted about it not being a visual upgrade. When GC is back online it will look the same (with this project) but should be running a lot better. Background software & hardware is what will be changing this time around.

What would we do without the classic GC look? Over the years, my kids have said, "Don't go in the bedroom if the screen is glowing periwinkle, Mom is on Greekchat."

Wasn’t there something you were going to do differently? Like, to where only mods and members who bought a coffee would be able to see? It was like a preview or something. Maybe I misread it. I just thought you posted something like that in the coffee thread.

Some things haven't gone as quickly as I expected today and did get distracted a bit. So probably will be extending this into tomorrow.

Hmm... maybe we can have the classic GC look still be an option.

Yes, but that's not with this upgrade. When we do the preview that will be when I have GC migrated into a different more modern forum system. So some members and mods have a chance to test that out & get familiar with it before it replaces the old software.

That was way back in the day. The original software that GC ran on, before even what we are using currently.
