Expect Field Guide downtime today for a software upgrade.

We are running on a default style while we bring the old one up to date. A lot of the custom additions we did are currently disabled, but pages should at least be viewable now. Expect some slowness. Hopefully it should be back to normal in the next day or so.

Thanks for the notification, Dan. I was slightly alarmed at first.

I hope everyone appreciates the time you put into these things.

Yeah, it was a bit more than I expected. We were way behind on upgrading Mediawiki because I knew it would break things (I always try to keep the forum software up to date because phpbb is notorious for getting hacked). Anyways, hopefully it will come out working better.

The skin is working now at least. Lots of the extensions are disabled still, but at least it doesn't look terrible.
