Please Pardon the Dust - Board Update

[Brad]

if you look around you'll see that the board is back on with some things missing or looking a little peculiar.  We got most of the way through the process undertaken last night and had to stop for the time being.  The choices were 1) to undo everything and go back to original configuration which was not working, 2)  leave the board in Maintenance Mode during which it would essentially be taken down, or 3) let it run in the condition it is in and work expeditiously in the morning to resolve.

With that said, there are no guarantees it will stay up as is, but you do have access and can post a topic or reply.  As you can see, some text is missing from buttons, etc.  While the board veterans can post in their sleep, it might make for a frustrating experience for our newer members.

We are committed to getting this corrected.  I ask that you please stick with us and realize we are trying to continue to improve this Bulls fans site.

Thank you for you patience and participation at TheBullsPen.com

Brad and the entire DEV team.

On behalf of the Dev team...

Just a note that the board may be up and down during the week this week as we attempt to optimize the system.

We regret the inconvenience... we believe your surfing and posting will be even better once we fix the glitches.

I had to do work at work today because I was so bored without the board :'(

Well we're up again.  The DEV team comprised primarily of JimUSFSig, NAM37 and Velcro have been going at it since last night, trying to improve performance.  Jim sums it up well in that all efforts are being made to improve the performance but in the meantime there might be some unexpected downtime.

I appreciate the tenacity of our members, I see every time we come back online we get dozens of BullsPenners reading and posting.  Hopefully we'll have this stabilized shortly.

If you happen to run into one of those periods where it seems to hang up or take forever to open a thread or post, please report it here.

Thank you.
