THOSE DARN MONKEYS!!! Ahhhhhh...what am I going to do????

So...will there be any changes to the interface of the site, or will it all be behind-the-scenes?

I'm not the webmaster, but my guess is that it will be behind-the-scenes, like most of ticalc.org's previous upgrades. Otherwise, it would probably be made clear.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, of course. :-)

I assume by "anyone" you mean someone on the staff. I'm curious, what other "Behind-the-scene" upgrades have been taking place?

I just remembered several mentioned in news articles from time to time. Here were a few I found on the news archives page:

23 April 2002: Welcome back - new ISP connected
13 May 1999: Planned System Downtime
14 September 1998: Planned Downtime on Thursday
21 March 1998: System Upgrade and Downtime
18 December 1997: Connection Upgrade

Oh yeah...those updates!!

See the positive side they warn us early, LOL

Well we warn you early...I have known about it for some time :-)

"due to a major scheduled hardware and software upgrade" generally doesn't mean "due to a major overhaul of the outward appearance of the site", so I'm guessing it'll all be behind the scenes...

Has anyone else noticed that the "Search" utility seems to be nonfunctional? Even searching for "ti" yielded no results! I seriously doubt that no one has ever used the word Ti on this site. Maybe this downtime will fix the problem.

I noticed that too, a long time ago. I have since stoped using it.

-W-

Yeah... I noticed that before I even started working here... perhaps I should mention it to someone.

well maybe with this upgrade and everything they plan to do, maybe they will fix all those broken links in the hardware section, i have 2 spare 83+'s that i would like to modify, but i would like some info first....

i dont know why by in my browser the search engine works very well...

I don't think it is your browser. You are probally just searching for more important things than "how many times does 'TI' appear?"

-W-

Well, the mailing lists will still be there... you could always use them.

MWM

AHH! The precious! We can't go on without the precious for two days! They STOLE it from us! Must get it back! Get back... the PRECIOUS!

Haha... okay, but... wow. Looks like I'm going to have to try to pass the time... some... other... way... *faints*

It'll be worth it...

Oh, good. :)
Are you allowed to say?

Ha, ha. Thanks for the mirth. I never thought of ticalc.org as The Ring, I reserve that for my v200. I tend think of ticalc.org as "heaven" or "nirvana".

Ticalc.org as heaven.....that sounds about right.....my TI-86 is the image of calculator perfection.....I once had the great privilege to see its extremely revered electronics....I was awed..... Sorry, I know that sounds strange :D.
