I have decided to make this post to keep everyone informed of when I will be doing updates and such so they will know of any down time or anything like that.

I will try to give a good amount of notice as best I can and will post it here in this topic.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. :up:

Updates visible to the users posted below.

Update (Jan 18th 2013):
New method/info on posting video in posts on the site. More info here - http://www.hydrostreamforums.com/posting-videos

Image/URL pop up box removed and how to pages updated to reflect the changes (I will be adding a HowTo for posting links in the near future) - http://www.hydrostreamforums.com/howto-images

Update (Jan 30th 2013):
Updated the donation software. Will make things much easier for everyone and also added a few features that were not present before in the old software.

Update (Feb 2nd 2013):
Removed the events forum from the Community section and have added an Events Center section and split it into two forums. One for posting events and event information (Event information such as event location, times,dates, etc...), and one section for even discussions (i.e. Asking about event dates, locations, anyone attending, etc... Anything that is not the actual event info). I have split up most the topics I could so please refer to them for a general idea.

Update (Feb 10th 2013):
Major forum software update. All seems to have went good but if anyone finds anything not working please let me know ASAP so I can get it fixed.

Update (Feb 12th 2013):
Updated the way you submit your boat for Hydrostream of the month. CLICK HERE for more info.

Update (Feb 16th 2013):
Fixed the issue with registering from the mobile site. I was unaware it has been broken for ages until someone pointed it out to me the other day. For any new potential members, you can now register from your mobile device(s).

Update (Feb 22nd 2013):
Finished a few more updates and switched over to the new site design. About 2 weeks early. Hope everyone enjoys it. :up:

I will be doing some work on the site tonight. Not sure when yet (shooting for approx 9pm CST) but the web site may be closed for just a short time. I will post here when it is all back to normal.

More work tonight. Just not sure when yet. Depends when kiddo goes to bed.

Will be changing the way the site handles videos so it will be much easier to post them and also will be removing the pop up boxes for links and off site images.

Just getting everything ready for the big update in a few weeks.

I will be shutting down the board some time today for about an hour or two while I do some more updates. Thinking around 3 or 4pm central time I will disable it. I will try to get to work on it as fast as I can. :)

Hope to get a fair amaount of work done on the site tonight so later in the evening it might be down from time to time while I get the updates done. Looks like I might be well ahead of schedule on getting everything done. I will give you some notice before the big changes though so your not to surprised when you see a whole new look.
