Wanted to give everyone a brief rundown on several items..
First, with our new more powerful server, we are using a lot more power. Unfortunately, this has more than doubled our colocation facility rental cost. Our monthly rent is now in excess of $225/month -- If members are willing to assist more than ever with the donation costs, then are going to be good. Otherwise, we will have to search for an alternative ASAP. Please post your thoughts and any suggestions on how to reduce our cost. Keep in mind, anything we do MUST allow for very large database sizes.
Secondly, What are your thoughts of the new software now that we've had it live for a few weeks now? I know a lot of you do not like the "big" icons and how spread out everything is -- I'm in the process of trying to find out from vBulletin if there is a way for us to go back to the "old" feel, but with all of the new features. Mobile version is still in the works..
Lastly, the color scheme. I've had an injury to my wrist a few weeks ago, and am still recovering. I have had to limit my computer time to almost nothing due to this injury, so the update to the color scheme hasn't been happening at all. We are open to suggestions. We may also open up our testing site to some members who are interested in assisting in designing the template/style to use here on 3ADL.
Please limit any discussion to the items above, anything that is offtopic will be deleted.
