Important: New forum software discussion


Recommended Posts

Dear all,

 

Vbulletin has served us well over the last 10+ years but the time has come to move on.

 

As such, I'm really pleased to let everyone know that in the New Year (provisionally Friday 5th January) we'll be commencing a move to the latest version of IPBoard.

 

Unfortunately, as much as this is really positive news, it will mean the forums are closed for up to three days as blueflag and I migrate all our data over to the new software.

 

IPBoard offers a lot of advantages compared to the existing software: it's faster, gives us improved functionality, reliable updates, flexible themes and increased security so it's well worth the short period of downtime. After a very busy month of competitive football for Rangers in December, the SPFL closes for its winter shutdown after the Old Firm game on the 30th December so with a few weeks to spare before our next league game (notwithstanding the friendlies in Florida) it's the ideal time for us to move forward with this.

 

We're hoping the process will be as seamless as possible but if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please let us know here by PM or email (info@gersnet.co.uk) and we'll endeavour to answer them now. However, we've already undergone a trial migration and are testing the software with an older database to good effect.

 

Fingers crossed the real thing next month also goes well! We'll look to confirm the date of the move asap and keep you all informed throughout the process via here., our main site and social media accounts.

Wonder if our next manager will be announced by then?
