Finally, at long last, aberdeen-music will receive the first major upgrade since late 2005 this coming weekend. The upgrade will consist of upgrading the forums to vBulletin v3.7.2 and the deployment of a completely new look and feel to the web site including the not-so-new-now logo.

What does this mean for you? Well, the web site will be completely closed from around 11pm BST on Friday, 18th July and will not re-open until Sunday, if not even later. If the upgrade is going to take longer than planned then an updated notice will be posted on the web site along with an estimate of when the site will re-open.

All user accounts, posts, threads, private messages etc will be preserved and so there is no need to take any action yourself. Just login as normal once the web site re-opens and enjoy (hopefully!) the updated look and new features. For details about some of these new features please take a look at this post on the vBulletin web site:

vBulletin 3.7 First Look! - vBulletin Community Forum

If anyone has any questions in the mean time then please reply below or contact me privately. Thanks!

Is the arcade still going to be there after the upgrade? I've made it my life's mission to get the top score on Yeti Sports 3 yet at the moment I am still only 18th in the leaderboard.

Yup. Although I'm becoming increasingly tempted to reset all the high scores to give the newer peeps a chance to get a top score.

Yeah you should do that. I can't get near any of the top scores! And some of them are being held by people who don't even use the site any more..... Maybe reset them once a year?

Just a quick update - the site will probably be closing at around 11pm tonight, if not later. Why? Because I'm going to the pub first.
