FE is Back Up and Kicking!

Safin

After a harrowing 3 days of downtime, we are back up

Thank you all for your patience and well wishes

Unfortunately the upgrade never went smoothly from the 1st hour. Due to reasons beyond our control, and as luck would have it the server cache crashed on Sunday corrupting a lot of data.

From that point on its been a painstaking process of fixing the corrupt entries. While I can't say its all been fixed(there is some data loss, read below) most of the data has been recovered.

What was lost:
1) Your avatars and siggie info
2) All your plaza gifts

Anyway the good part is that, we are back up, the original reason why the downtime had to take place has been catered for as in we are now running all latest version of scripts and most of my custom code has been ported.

You are also seeing a brand new skin,"Funster" designed by "Private Ryan" thats FE default skin right now.But incase you so desire, the old skin is available also via the style chooser

.You will see a host of new options already, and a lot more await you as we slowly turn them on. (I have disabled most of them and will slowly turn them on, most probably by tomorrow)

The good part is that there will not be any more downtimes in future for upgrades.

PS: There are tons of bugs(I know plenty myself right now), please help me find them. Go and list them in the feedback section.
Bugs in the Upgrade

Enjoy!
