We will be performing a software update tomorrow morning requiring us to close for a while.
The update will begin at 5:30AM PST. Estimated downtime is 1 hour.
Update Notes
The first part of the update went as planned, you'll find the list of changes below.
Unfortunately, we hit a small snag with the feedback migration which requires us to leave posting new feedback disabled until it's resolved. Watch this thread, I'll post an update as soon as it's re-enabled.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or problems, please open a ticket
Updated Feature: Member Feedback
The feedback portion of the new Classifieds System has replaced the old feedback system in preparation for the upcoming launch. Existing member feedback has been imported into the new system.
New Feature: New link destination account preference
We've changed the default destination of the new tab/button to the new content overview page (rather than the new posts page). Because different members use the site for different purposes, we've added an account preference allowing you to specify where the new tab/button takes you.
New Feature: X per page account preference
This option allows members to customize how many threads, posts, conversations, and conversation messages are shown per page. This is a Supporting Member feature (Platinum+).

Update Notes
- Posting and editing member feedback will be disabled after the site is reopened while we import old feedback into the new feedback system. You will know it has been completed once you see the Post Feedback buttons again.
- With nearly 135k feedback records, this is a big migration. If you see anything strange, no matter how small, please open a ticket ASAP.
