Admin Announcement Site Upgrade 2026

[Chief]

Over the next few days we will be upgrading BigFooty's back end and then the forum software.

Site Availability: The site may be disabled for a short time on Friday 2nd Jan.

Posts and Uploads: There may be a short period of time tomorrow where anything you post will be lost: it will not persist into the upgraded system. Save your magnum opus for the weekend.

Log in: You will need to log back in after we cut over to the upgraded system. Make sure you know your password and your email address is correct.

Search: The Search Index will rebuild over a couple of days, so will be either unavailable or incomplete during that time.

Site Notices will be posted to let everyone know what is happening.

If you have any issues or questions, please post them here.

It has begun. Anything you post or upload or change will be lost when we cut over to the new system. This version is currently a dead end. Don't post any big or important stuff. You will just have to re-post it on the new version.

What new features and functions will the new version of XenForo have? Both admin and for users?

Does the same apply for PMs/DMs?
