Thank you and Congrats for stepping up, to the whole group. I always pop on here to read even if I don't post as much anymore. IE is one of the best places I've ever found for honest analysis and genuine conversation on the gamut of topics. I have gone from angry twenty-something to middle aged reading this board, and I've learned that most of you old bastards actually know what you're talking about. You're good men, every one of you. Long may this refuge continue.

Tried to pickup IrishEnvy shares on the "takeover" news. Robinhood won't let me buy?
Huge short positions being taken right now. Screw the hedge funds (rumored to be USC Sucks Capital and Michigan Sucks LLC).
It's a buy and hold Lads and Lassies!
Cheers and Go Irish!!

Brother, if I had been mining bitcoin this site would've been upgraded years ago.
Like Clash said, hopefully once the server stabilizes a bit we can upgrade to the newest version of vBulletin. I've been chomping at the bit for that day."Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's *** by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather take his word for it?"

Y'all are really brave. Migrating servers, and upgrading. I'm guessing the migration forced the upgrade.
It was only chance I got in this way via a bookmark from another machine which led me to play around with older bookmarks.
Anyway, happy that there is progress, but... One of the primary complaints from folks in the past was that there was no warning of migrations/changes. Sorry if I missed a notification/post, but seems like y'all migrated servers without giving anyone a heads up. Glad it's the off season.

There was some discussion here that an upgrade was probably coming. There's still some little things to work out like the look and banners, but this was a welcome upgrade. There was a very real chance that the old server hosting the board could have gone down at any point or become unavailable, and then it might have been impossible to update or migrate the server due to lost data or incompatible versions. That's part of the reason it took a few days for Clashmore to work out the kinks with the vBulletin team, they had to do multiple updates just to make the site usable on the new server. It had been many years since anyone bothered to touch the software. In any case, big thanks to the new owners for working on this and putting us in a good place for the future! Updated features and quality of life upgrades can help bring in some new posters.
I'm uber happy to get both though. Just happy it wasn't at a crucial time.

Now we're in a place where the site is usable, but there may be intermittent interruptions (like yesterday) as we figure everything out and get this place set up in a way that feels more familiar.
We have experienced some redirect issues with trying to get our front page set up like it was on the old version, which seems to have resulted in the home address 'irishenvy.com' not being responsive. 'irishevny.com/forums' and 'irishenvy.com/forums/frontpage' are working, but we're trying to smooth everything out.

I also have yet to find how I can open a thread on the last page so I don't have to manually input it from the first page. We'll get there though, I'm glad our own people bought it.

It’s starting to come together and looks pretty good guys! Nice work.
A little irritating moving around & relearning everything but we’ll get there. Hopefully we won’t lose the older posters who are having a difficult time finding their way to the website since the original URL isn’t accessible.Last edited by Henges24; 02-16-2021, 09:32 PM."Fvck Michigan" - The World

We unfortunately were kind of backed into a corner because the 10+ year old software would not run on new servers... so we are having to plow through with an upgrade instead of taking it as slow as we wanted.

It's the offseason, so we can deal lol.
