Latest forum upgrade - IMPORTANT - READ THIS!

We will be updating the software that power you community in the next few days.. Here is some important information you need to be aware of:
ALL users that have a password that is the same as or similar (as in uses part of) to their username WILL have to change it. I strongly suggest you do so NOW as you will be forced to do so once we have upgraded.

No other user-related issues are expected.

Also check out this page to hear about the new blogs features: http://www.pokecommunity.com/blog.php?b=1

so uh... will PC be down while this occurs?

Okay, now say if you have your username, but you have a different password? Will it effect logging in this forum? Do I still need to change it?

PC will be shut off (not down) during upgrade process (about 5 - 30 mins) - a normal vB maintenance update.

NO passwords need to be changed UNLESS you use your username as (part of?) your password. i.e. username: joebob password: joebob

You guys don't do that right?

Okay, phew. My password is totally different than my username. I just trying to make sure, thanks a lot. *walks away all happily*

no. I dont do that.
that would be foolish o_0
i say you do this "maintenance"
next week while im at school ^_^

Normally maintenance updates of a version (Like 3.7.x, where x is the maintenance number)
have only bug/security fixes. So none or less features are added (normally none).

There are several template fixes with 3.7.3 but none of the templates were changed extremely.

this is good news, a new security measure to stop people from stealing accounts and spamming the board. Thanks for the heads up! (not that it really affects me, but still good to know)

I wonder if the update is over?

Na its not I want the though

How do you post a blog entry? XD;

I get an access denied message. o_o

But nobody else with over 5000 posts has made a blog yet so maybe it isn't working for us?

I like the Blog function on the Forum, things keep getting better and better.

......5000 posts...?

...................

How exactly did you come up with that number?

Exotic, I know. D: It's the free way to get a blog - and that's assuming your posts are of quality. Besides, if you're much of a regular, 5000 isn't that much of a stretch. If you're truly dedicated, surely you can gain a high number. :x

Or, you can fund us a bit extra (and by the way, you can shoot me now).
