If there's one thing I'll regret, it's not being able to have implemented 4.0 before stepping down.

Step up, implement 4.0 and step down again. Nobody will notice.

I do believe it's still in testing phases and not an official release as of yet? HV correct me if i'm wrong.

Correct. You can see it live here: http://zend.ipsdevserver.com/ips4/forums/

Since it's a major update, you also need to make sure you have a compatible skin ready to go before upgrading or you'll be stuck with the default (white) skin for days/weeks while you try and get the custom skin working on the new codebase.

If we had access to a test server I could probably tinker with the current skin and get it to work, but we don't... so it's one of those things you're better off paying someone to do (used to cost me around 100 bucks with these guys).

I've been reading through the 4.0 update details since it was mentioned in the thread. Looked at the links you posted and the update looks to be fantastic once a usable release is available. maybe even the first beta. Would really love to see this on the board when it's available, everything in general looks 10 times better, especially the Profiles page.

Test server would be nice, i'd like to tinker a bit myself.

So when is mags going to be made a mod?

I'm not. Even if they offered I'd decline. I don't want to feel any external or internal pressure to change the way I post here.

And I don't want to deal with what they have to deal with.

You already post like a mod, hooray for tolerance!.

This is such a big forum problem. Just scale down the member mass and you can easily get by on a free server (I know). It's not hard, just delete all sections not pertaining to GN'R directly (if people want to "chat" and "hang out" they can go to Facebook). If that's not enough just ban the morons. Or most of them. There.

the best idea is to probably pay someone to do the switch over. the savings over time will make it worth while and once it's done the monthly payment. only problem is what about maintenance and issues that might come up? can the current guys handle that?

How do members with zero posts not active since 2006 become SILVER supporters?

Like so - http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?/user/16440-snooty-fox/

Good question, better question is, how the hell did you dig that far to find that??? :lol:

Anyway, whoever that was, donated close to 10 years ago, thus the Supporter title

Going to PM donators soon(ish) for a few updates.

Silver is 12 months. Nota. Clue what's happened there!! Ha.

Will look after I've had awesome tea with awesome family :)

I looked up members. ordered by post count and went to the last page and et voila!
