My apologies folks, if i'm ever this late with a report again, i'll have myself cut into little pieces and sent to the south pole... anyhow, report. :)
The coding has gone very well over the last week, and though i theorized a weekend rollover, it didn't happen. The main reason for this was a lack of confidence on my part in the preparedness of it. I found after some testing an analysis, that the extra wait will be well worth it.
With that, the coding is nearly complete, all functions are accounted for, and the database is ready to be repopulated with current data.
You can consider this report official notice that the new code and the redesigned database will go live shortly after my report this week. Hence, I will be calling a stop to all functions in the current database late friday or early saturday. This will be accomplished by removing the login function of the site. Once the rollover is complete, the login function will reappear, along with the new code. There will be a link on the main page for the purpose of describing the changes that have taken place, and if necessary, pointed out where things have been moved to.
After the change has been made, there will also be a link on the main navigation bar for site suggestions. I request that everyone take advantage of this to give me ideas on what to add to the site next. I have some pet projects I will be starting on once this is done, but the more the better. As a follow up to this, some of you have made suggestions for improvements to me on IRC, i would ask, due to my poor memory for such things, that you take advantage of this new feature once it is available, to re-submit these suggestions to me so that they can once again become fresh in my head.
KCB Trevarus Caerick, after close analysys of the current site, I find no information on the Knights, could you please get back to me in very short order to explain to me what you might expect to find in the way of information available to all on the site ? GM, if you have any input on this matter, it would be graatly appreciated as well.
In conclusion, I would politely ask for peoples patience and co-operation in what is quite a drastic move on my part having just taken this position. I certainly didn't expect to be working on such an undertaking from the inception, and it has been a load of work. Once the move is complete, I will be ready to accept "constructive" :) critisism. I have done my very best to attempt to make things as easy as possible, while maintaining the functionality that was already available to everyone. If I have missed something (though i don't think I have) please forgive me, and send me a note to mention it, so that I may rectify the situation in short order.
Thanks again to everyone.
