Howdy y'all,
In the next few days PC101 is going to go through some changes. So, you may find her offline now and then. Here's the short list on what's going to take place...
1. Change hosting
2. Change registrar
3. Update or change skin entirely
4. Update VBulletin
5. Update and change some hacks/mods
I'm really looking forward to these improvements! I hope y'all are too! 
Lyte

Rep Power: 6 | Yeah, I'm kinda torn on the skin. I like it because it's clean but then I kinda don't like it because it's not very snazzy! Maybe we'll keep it and I'll just have some custom buttons made.

Rep Power: 0 | I think these changes are very good for the board. We'll not mind a small downtime. We all know you can't make an omelette without breaking the eggs first .. so don't worry. I'd keep the skin and tweak it more. Maybe a new header and footer, some buttons ... Best of luck with all the changes ..

Rep Power: 6 | Thanks y'all,
I'm hoping to add some SEO hacks too that will bring more traffic and make site more search engine friendly. We definately need a site map and a mod/hack that will optimise the thread/post URLs. Ya know, turn them into keywords vs the numbers they are now.
I would like like to change the header and buttons too! It's time for something more spiffy!! Maybe a contest it in orde once all these others technical changes are done!
Later gators!

Rep Power: 6 | Hey y'all,
Well, it seems we are back online but not complete in our transformation! We had some difficulty moving to our new hosting company but with their help it looks like we're up and running!
We're still going to update our version of VB and the skin! But, that'll probably happen next weekend... cross your fingers! 
If you run into any error messages, please... please.... please... let me know! 
Thanks!
Lyte

See email... I later thought that might have been the issue when I remembered we have 4 different skins loaded in the admin area. Eeek! Quote:

Rep Power: 3 | Darken the colors and it'll be fine. There's a purplish tint on some areas(like the quick reply box too). Darker colors should fix that up and look as spiffy as always
