Jim-
Two Issues:
1) New Software: The Beta was already tested by Members and appears in good shape. It's the same stuff we currently use (vBulletin) but a major upgrade. As soon as the stable release is out, we'll switch. If all goes well, the tx will be transparent to the Members, except for the new features.

2) New Server: We took delivery about two weeks ago and have been playing with this. It's light years ahead of the current server, which is fine for our short term needs. We require a block of three or four days to bring the new server on line. I suspect this transfer won't be quite perfect, as the server settings are never really tested until there's a real world demand on them. We'll probably have a day or two of hiccups as we tweak the new system.

Any hints as to what new features the new release will have?

Perhaps the dreaded & much feared chat room?

- Personal and Public Calendars
- Many admin panel features to assist in management
- Other "stuff"

What's a Chat Room?
