Is anyone else's connection crapping out?

That's true for me too.

What happend to the board today?  I got a Smiley telling me everything would be ok.  But when i came back on the site i had to reenter my login which is usually saved? 

[Diomedes]

That was fun.  For a couple mins the whole board was down and a message about SMF copyright was displayed.  Then that went down and we got the white page smiley face.  Then the board came back and wouldn't let me log in until I deleted all my cookies.

Board upgrade. Major upgrade, apparently. Had to be done. Sorry about the lack of warning.

I'll fix the minor color screwups on the forum index pages after I get some sleep.

Anything in the upgrade that we'll notice?

The VORP will be much higher now.

So is teaming up with Razorgator then?

And the EMB. We're all in it together to screw one person.

So what's the deal with the board upgrades?  What exactly was upgraded?  The only visable changes I see is that when you open up a particular section (Eagles Talk, General, etc) there is a border across the top where it lists the subject, who started it, views, replies, etc. 

And on a couple of the different section, the # of views and replies for the first couple of threads are completely blacked out.

I can only assume that this is some sort of error and not the intended look for the board.

Pinned threads.

Pinned threads.

I've noticed that but I still don't understand why they would be blacked out.  The threads aren't locked in every case.

Mostly bug fixes and a few features (such as the captcha thing for new registrations). If you want to know the real details, feel free to click the SMF link at the bottom of the page.

It looks like the upgraded version added a few CSS classes that weren't in our original CSS template, so that's where the blacked-out cells were coming from. I updated the style sheet, and it looks a little better.
