We needed to do the upgrade, because the old version will only be supported for so long, and I wanted to be sure we did it in relatively low season, so we wouldn't have a deadline right in the middle of busy season.

I'm afraid I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Is anyone else with those devices experiencing the same issues as Amy? If so, would you please let me know the model you're using? I know that a lot of software right now is optimized and tested for a limited range of operating systems. (That's why I no longer have a gen 1 iPad...)

The attachments option should not have been enabled, and I've changed the setting. There used to be an option at the bottom of the mobile app to revert to the desktop view, but that was removed in this release to rely on the phone browser to "Request desktop site." That didn't work for me on my Android. There should be an option at the bottom of the page to "Load more activity." I can look through the help files this weekend, but I don't see anything in my preliminary search that allows a classic view within the software.

You can either click "Unread Content" under the Search box under your username in the upper right, or you can choose "Content" > "Unread Content" from the main left menu During the upgrade, all of the "Unread Content" was reset, and you should see very little until there are more new posts.

After a bit of a struggle, including locking myself out several times, the board is back up. . This new version is very different, and I decided to bring it up as is, and poke away at it over the next week. The main issue I've seen so far is getting a message that my password is incorrect. I've learned that I need to try one more times, and if that doesn't work, to open up another browser window and bring up the site, and more often than not, I'm signed in to the other instance. Very annoying. There are a lot of changes, some intuitive, some not so much. If you suddenly find yourself locked from a forum, please let me know, by PM, Contact Us (menu or link at the bottom of site), or by replying to this thread. I'll be posting more info and making changes as I figure things out, but here are some high-level things: To find content, click "Content" from the menu, and you'll get a number of options. Until I can figure out how to make a link, if the Contact Us form at the bottom of the site doesn't work for you, clicking "Contact Us" from the menu will bring you to a post with our email address. You can decide forum by forum whether you want to get notification when there are more replies by toggling the switch under the post box and above the Submit Topic bar. In the top right under the search bar, there's a button for "Unread Content" and another "Mark site read," which was removed in v.3, but is back for v.4.

You can leave us a note by clicking the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page, or you can email us at this address: pavlova.nijinsky@gmail.com

But I can't go into the Admin CP until it's over, so I can't put up the closed site message until it's over.

I plan to request the upgrade tomorrow, August 11. We don't get confirmation that the upgrade has started until after it begins. That means that although the site looks up, and you may be posting, if it hasn't hit the database before invisionzone backs it up, your posts will be lost. As soon as I know the upgrade has begun, I'll put up the "Site closed" message to avoid lost posts. It's a major upgrade, and it may take a while for me to get everything settled. I've read documentation, but that doesn't always coincide with reality

This is incredible news!!!!

Hello Celestrial Kiss, and welcome to Ballet Alert!, a discussion board from the point of view of the viewer. We'd love to hear you experiences of ballets you've seen.
