You may see a huge change in teh appearance of angel owners very soon. I am currently working on updating the forums software to the latest release of vbulletin3. This is going ot be a major change and may take some getting used to the new software for some of you. Once the software is updated it maybe sometime before you notice the header to say AOG. So dont freak out if you see a vbulletin logo at the top of the forums for a little while.

If once the upgrade is done and you are having issues please post them all here. I will try to take care of them as quickly as possible.


Just a heads up.....

stay tuned.

Let's just say that we should ALL appreciate the effort that Matt has put into this site both past and present. I think that everyone will enjoy the new look. With all of the work he has put into it we all take it for granted at times.

at www.paintballmessage.com, me and supairball77/justin moved to the new vb3. It is much easier to use, especially in the mod/admin panel. I think it's a great step for the forums, and some of the transition is a pain in the ass. Good luck matt!!

Karma will finally work right is one of the major ones, it will now be called reputation , multiple attachments , a lot of features have been moved around and will be easier to use especially for mods / admins and the users will see a noticable difference........... i may start the switch tonight.

I lauged when I read that hep. Good stuff.
As far as features is concerned, there's a little more stuff that makes the forums easier to use. I'm not sure if it's the new page, but on paintball message, it's snowing on the main page :) Kinda cool. Let's see the porn section:clap: :duh:

we hope so

we're doing some testing today and through the next few days to see how things work out.

When it's all ready we'll post about how long the site will be down so that we can migrate over and we'll let everyone know.

Just like with any new software upgrade little tweaks will continue to be made, and we'll ask for feedback as it happens.
