The rctspace.com forums will be taken offline at 07:00 GMT (EST+5) on Saturday 7th November for an upgrade.

This is the biggest upgrade we have ever attempted, with the board, links system, downloads system, Ride Exchanges and Steve Franks Track Packs all affected.

Downtime will be extensive, it may be more than 24 hours before we are up and running again. Latest status will be posted at RCT*Mart forums

As part of the upgrade there will be some housekeeping carried out, and a significant change.

In terms of housekeeping, all members who have not visited for 12 months and who have 0 posts, and 0 Ride Exchange uploads will be deleted. In addition, all Personal Messages that are older than 12 months will be deleted. If you have any Personal Messages older than this, and you wish to keep them, you are advised to archive them at this link .

The significant change is that Steve Franks Track Packs will be retired as a separate standalone feature, and instead added into a dedicated section of the downloads system.

To get an idea of the 'look and feel' of the new board, and what to expect here, take a look at the official site .

After the upgrade, we intend to introduce some new board features which we hope you will find a great addition to the rctspace.com community. :ph34r:

As I think I mentioned, the 'look and feel' is a lot different, particularly the serach and the member profile.

See? Viral marketing works...

It is indeed a glimpse into the new board.

The PM has been answered.
