Board Upgrade

[Hell and High Water]

Greetings!

And welcome to the upgraded Garden. I had been thinking I should really do this for a very long time, and then sometime yesterday, it crashed. I tinkered with it for some time but was unable to revive it. So instead, I've done a full upgrade and on a first look around, it appears that the database has been updated and all member accounts and (is it possible?) maybe all posts have made the transition. This is the most I could have expected, and I did think that it might not work. What did not make the transition is the header for one thing, so yes, this is still the PJ Harvey forum, and I will be replacing image files as I figure out the new software. But for now, I've been at this for a couple of hours and I'm taking a break. I would ask that any member reading this to post, say hello, and let me know that you are able to post, and anything else you may have noticed.

Cheers!

Hello,
I am still here and able to post if you can read this :-)
It all looks very clean and shiny.
Thank you for all your efforts in keeping this marvellous site going!

Thank you OM! Ok, so far everything seems functional but I'm still checking on things. It would be nice if things looked a bit more like the old board, but I'm not sure what to do about that yet.

Thanks H&HW for keeping it going!

You're welcome! I'm just looking at "styles" as they call them, that will make the board look more like it used to. I would at least like to get the old logo up. Still, I'm very pleased that the database survived and everyone still has their logo etc. and etc. I thought it might be over!

Ok! I found and installed the logo, for this style anyway. I think we had a couple of different styles, these are independently created and then the admin has to install them. I don't remember all the ones we had, this default style is not the one I used. I'm looking at other styles, and I'd like to install one or maybe two, just so we have options.

The first thing I did was title the site "The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site" just so you would know where you were. Does anyone remember, was there anything there before? I don't remember there being anything at all, but I'd like to update this somehow.

Hello Hell and High Water, thank you for the fundamental maintenance work you do and for keeping this forum alive and well. I can confirm there wasn't anything on the right side of the main title " the Garden a PJ Harvey Community". I do like the new look, it feels and looks retro enough (which is a good thing!) and very polished!
