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!
H&HW

Re: Board Upgrade
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.

Re: Board Upgrade
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!Romario11 wrote: Thu Jun 04, 2026 5:38 pm I thought i'd come to the wrong place! glad this site is still going.

Re: Board Upgrade
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.

Re: Board Upgrade
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!Hell and High Water wrote: Fri Jun 05, 2026 12:46 am Ok!
