In summary: I thought that was pretty cool! Yeah, I think that was the one.The most impact to members will be if you have journals. If you want to keep them, you should save them to your harddrive. There are some enhancements for contributors that have been mentioned, but just incase, my lips are sealed.

We have periodic upgrades here. The most impact to members will be if you have journals. If you want to keep them, you should save them to your harddrive.

I can finally catch up to Russ! (If you counted the TKC thread, I probably passed him a while ago. ) Oh, wait, but I worked so hard to finally get past 2000!
I've got my journal backed up...it was surprisingly easy to just drag the little mousey over the whole page and copy everything in one fell swoop (when I re-post the contents, though, it's going to be one LONG journal entry unless I'm particularly bored that day and feel like taking the time to recreate each individual entry.

So do we have to register again? What exactly is happening? I thought it was just some upgrade that would not affect anything but the journal entries.

I could be wrong. The March 2003 update required everyone to re-register, but a vBulletin upgrade does not necessitate this.

I can't believe I ever noticed that nobody's join date was like 1999 or anything!

I don't think this one will be so drastic, just an updated new look on our side, and a lot of behind the scenes stuff. There's already a thread started in Feedback where Greg is answering questions about the upgrade.

No one has to re-register, post count will not be lost AFAIK, it's more along the lines of the last upgrade we had, some people didn't even notice it.
In reading some of the changes Greg shared with the mentors, it sounds like there might be some cool enhancements for the contributors, if I read it correctly, but just incase, my lips are sealed.

FAQ: What's Here Now, What Will Be Gone?: Investigating Change
What is the purpose of investigating change?
Investigating change is important because it allows us to understand and document how our environment, society, and technology are constantly evolving. By studying change, we can identify patterns, make predictions, and develop strategies for adapting to and managing change.
What types of changes can be investigated?
There are many types of changes that can be investigated, including natural changes such as climate change, geological changes, and changes in biodiversity. Social changes such as demographic shifts, cultural changes, and changes in economic systems can also be studied. Additionally, technological changes, such as advancements in technology and their impact on society, can be investigated.
How do scientists investigate change?
Scientists use a variety of methods to investigate change, including observation, data collection and analysis, experimentation, and modeling. They may also use historical data and compare it to current data to track changes over time. Collaborating with other scientists and experts in related fields can also help in investigating change.
What are some potential impacts of change?
The impacts of change can vary greatly depending on the type of change being investigated. Some changes, such as natural disasters, can have immediate and devastating impacts on communities and ecosystems. Other changes, such as technological advancements, can have both positive and negative impacts on society. It is important for scientists to investigate change in order to understand these impacts and develop strategies for mitigating any negative effects.
How can we use the information gathered from investigating change?
The information gathered from investigating change can be used in many ways. It can inform decision-making processes in areas such as environmental policy, urban planning, and disaster management. It can also help us understand and predict future changes, allowing us to prepare and adapt accordingly. Additionally, the knowledge gained from studying change can contribute to advancements in various fields and improve our overall understanding of the world.
