New Site Launch -- *SCHEDULED DOWNTIME ANNOUNCEMENT*

Post by matthew1 »

I'm planning to launch the new site on Sunday. The URL will not change, meaning your bookmarks will still work fine. The site will still be at www.matthewsvolvosite.com. I'm changing the design to make it better organized and more modern, and upgrading the forum software.

MVS will be down for 6-12 hours.

When it's back, it will look different, but everything will be there.

What you should do
_Expect to see a single page that says "Down Temporarily"
_Print out repairs you need now
_You may try the site to see if it's back, attempts to connect will not disturb what I'm doing

When we return
_You should be able to log in to the forum normally
_If you have trouble, look for a "HELP" button
_I'll be really busy, so look for solutions in that HELP page, don't email me
_Expect some things to be broken, but don't worry, I'll be working like mad to fix them

Please check back here for further updates as Sunday nears.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

As a tribute to the new site I chopped down a dead Maple tree in my backyard (OK my wife was on my butt to chop it down before it fell on the house).

I then uncorked a bottle of Macallan 18 year old and toasted to the new site - it is wonderful.

To the new matthewsvolvosite.com ! (Clinking of glasses)
