Hi all, long time no see.
As a full-time student, it is often hard to find enough time to dedicate to improving the usability and experience of the PurpleFlock Forums for our members. For my lack of involvement in the community, I do apologize. On a lighter note, I arrive from my hiatus bearing good news.
XenForo, the forum software that PurpleFlock utilizes (We are still running on some iteration of Version 1), has had Version 2 released for some time now. I've put off upgrading for a while due to my limited free time, but time moves forward and we must follow.
This upgrade will bring a slew of improvements, ranging from UX, design, functionality, and security. To allow for the smooth upgrade from the current outdated version to the latest version of this software, the site will be put into maintenance tonight (11pm PT/2am ET) and will most likely be re-opened by (2am PT/5am ET). PurpleFlock will be using a temporary/basic theme for a few days after the upgrade while I finalize a proper and unique look for the site.
With this upgrade comes a new look, new feel, and new opportunity for change. If anyone has suggestions for feature additions/fixes or anything else, please leave them below!
