You may have heard that I had plans to move our forum away from TalkAboutTennis.com/forum to a new domain name. This plan has been put on hold indefinitely. We'll stay were we are for the foreseeable future.

However, I will need to perform a minor upgrade to our forum software. In addition, I'll be installing new software that will help our search-engine ranking and I'll be upgrading the appearance of our forum. I hope to have most, if not all, of these upgrades in place before our influx of new members and guests prior to Wimbledon (I may not get everything done before then, but that's my goal).

All changes, except the forum's appearance, will more than likely be unnoticeable by you guys -- they're mainly just internal things, but necessary.

Any of these things that will require me to take the forum offline will be done during our slow times -- after midnight on the West Coast. My apology to those of you across the pond who will be affected. :o However, I don't see any single down-time going longer than :30 minutes.

I'll post notices at the top of our pages as I know times and dates.

I'll be taking our forum off-line tonight/morning for up to :30 minutes. I'll start between 3:00 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. and get us back up as soon as I can.

I'm going to go ahead with the upgrade tonight -- it's minor and won't take long. But the other modifications I mentioned won't be done until after Wimbledon. I don't want to risk making a mistake this close to kickoff at the All England Club.

I didn't have enough time to finish what I wanted to do last night. I'll have to take us offline again tonight sometime after 3am EST.

I completed what I had to (now it's nighty-night time ;)).

The rest of my updates will be put on hold now until after Wimbledon.

Let me know in this thread or PM if you encounter any odd behavior.
