Hey guys, I built a custom search index tonight it should make vast improvements in the quality of search results. Searching should be a little faster too.

There will be a bit of downtime tonight as I install a few new features and change a few things around. Yeah yeah I know it's such a pain in the ass for you guys but you'll live . Plus it'll be better in the long run for Headcase.

The site will be down for an extended period of time (at least a few hours) sometime during the following time frame: Friday, February 9, 2007 9:00pm - 5:00am MST. Our hosting provider is moving into a new data center facility and will be physically moving the server at some point during the previously listed time frame.

Just fyi, gang, there's a new subforum (under "Gear") dedicated to Home Theater stuff here.

The infinite dark theme will be going away shortly, the dev has already announced it won't be updated to support the upcoming major new version of the forum software. It won't be removed until I find a suitable replacement that will be updated to support the next forum software version.

I registered here before newbs were sent it and I'm kind of curious what is says. Would one of you mods send me a copy?

Sorry folks - it appears the email notifications on threads, etc stopped working back in December. After an upgrade to the site tonight they are all processing now - so apologies for the spam of notifications.

Seeing some problems with the forum since yesterday. The Condensed view doesn't seem to be working. Everytime I jump into a thread, I start at the beginning. Not a huge deal, but it changed all of a sudden.

I upgraded the forum software today from 3.2.3 to 3.3.1 it's a pretty substantial upgrade so you might notice some of the extra features are currently disabled. I'll be turning things back on one at time and upgrading them when necessary. I also need to upgrade the dark theme so that likely doesn't work right now.

Merry Christmas to all ! Happy & Healthy. 🎅

You have likely noticed that the email notifications have been broken for quite some time, they are now fixed and working again.

Doing some work on the site today so there will be periods where it's down. Edit: Server move and forum software update have been completed now. The search index has to re-index so it'll be a few hours before that's working normally again.

Merry Christmas to all a happy & Healthy one! 🎅

So here is the name of the game: Design a sweet Headcase logo no larger then 241x31 and post it below or PM me for you chance to win these pretty purple RCA cables that are 21" or so long. ...and go!

I'll be doing an update to the forum software starting at approximately 4PM EST today. This is a pretty large change, as search is completely redone and the traditional view new content functionality has been replaced as well. Other notable changes include the menu structure and an updated version of the WYSIWYG editor that should work better on mobile browsers.

Ok guys, we have a small decision to make here, for some reason during the day today something went wrong in the database that broke the user-readable url functionality. I've been able to switch to a backup from roughly 7am this morning. Which means we've lost all posts from later in the day.

The update to 4.0.8 didn't go smoothly today, the styling on the bottom section (who's online) etc is currently broken. Working on fixing it now, PM me if you notice anything else wrong.

Since there seems to be a bit of confusion around who qualifies as a Member of the Trade and what they are allowed to post about I've put together a quick little run down. Who are Members of the Trade?? A) anyone who makes or sells any audio related gear any persons who have direct relationships with persons or companies who fall under (A) C) anyone receiving gifts or money in return posts/threads What are they allowed to do @ Head-case?? All members of the trade have the exact same posting rights as regular members. They just a custom title stating their company affiliation and are put into the Members of the Trade group. We don't want to restrict what MoT…

Thanks -Todd

These are not on the home page this morning, and others mentioned it elsewhere so I'm not the only one missing them. Can they be restored? Thanks in advance...

New policy time . To try to increase membership and traffic here I'm asking our current membership to invite people they think would add to the community. In an attempt to keep track of who invites who, if you invite someone please make a post in this thread stating who you invited otherwise the person will likely not have their registration approved. Thanks

Is this the new format? I just learned the old! Is the ****** displayed?
