Title: Coming soon.....a refurbished c5alive
Post by: Karl on 10, January, 2012 - 20:26:13
Yes indeed , a bit overdue but I've finally taken the plunge and given the ok for Dan (aka "thedesigntaylor") to go ahead and carry out a complete redesign of the c5alive forum and website, including the club shop as well.


If you've any really great ideas you think could be included to make the website even better, I guess now is your chance to put them forward .

No pressure then for Dan to come up with something really special !  ;D

Most important of all though , a big thank you to MikeDx for keeping the present setup limping along despite his own huge workload. A top man  8)

Estimated launch date for the "new" site is late February , subject to me changing my mind several times on what I want and driving Dan absolutely mad .....

After the events on Friday the 13th this updated version of the site can't come a moment too soon - the hosting site suspended c5alive due to suspicious activity that threatened the host servers   :o

If I understand things correctly,in order to protect c5alive , and other hosted sites, we were temporarily shut down so the problem could be isolated. It was identified that the shop side was possibly being targeted so it remains in isolation as a precaution. The forum side and emails should be working fine.

Dan has been liaising with the hosting guys to keep things "upright" - so a big thank you to him for all his efforts.

Just sent designs for the shop to Karl for sign off - If he's happy to I can post them here for you all to see but it might be more fun to keep them till the site is finished as a surprise!

...c5alive is a hosted site and it seems their server keeps changing the time. I reset the forum time offset every now and then but to be honest it is getting a bit tedious now forever changing it  ::). Just tend to leave it alone now  ;D


Dan - happy for you to show a few teaser shots  :o :P
