Attention: Forums maintenance to occur this month

Recommended Posts

Dear community,

We will be performing a maintenance on the forums this month which includes an upgrade to its back-end system software. During the maintenance, the forums will be unavailable for posting or reply for approximately 48 hours. It is planned that there will still be a read-only access on existing threads and posts during the maintenance. When we have the precise date for the maintenance, we will update this announcement.

The upgrade will bring the forums up to date with the same software that is used on the DayZ forums, a migration from vBulletin to IPB. This migration is one step in the process of our goal to have a single, unified Bohemia Interactive login. In the near future it is planned that you will only need one account and once signed in you will have access to interact with all of the Bohemia Interactive game forums and other services.

After the migration the forums will have a slightly different user interface and layout. To see the difference yourself, feel free to check out the current DayZ forums and compare. Please note, the color scheme will not change too much from what is currently in use.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this maintenance and software upgrade.

Summary:

  • Maintenance to forums to occur this month, exact date will be announced soon.
  • During maintenance, creating new posts and threads will not be accessible.
  • The forums will be in a read-only state for approximately 48 hours.
  • The new forums will have a slightly different interface.

Best regards,

BohemiaBeck

Dear community,

The forums were migrated from VBulletin to IPB. This brought it up to date with the same software that is used on the DayZ forums. The main purpose for the migration and update was to migrate it to the unified BI account system. This unified account system is used in the store, for new games and for all future features and services intended for the community.

The are many changes from the previous forums. The migration did not occur without exposing/causing issues and we have been actively working to resolve those issues. Sorry for the inconvenience any changes or issues may have caused you and thank you for your patience.

 

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, it is appreciated. We have been taking in the reports and feedback and the web development team are continuing to work on updates.

Best regards,
BohemiaBeck
