Site Update

I am quite sure now many of you have encounter this dreaded bug by now that prevents you from accessing a page:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in some file on line some line in file"

After the software upgrade on the server, the template system coded back during the site's inception has suddenly decided it wants to be lazy. Errors, such as this, is being caused by the templating system which, at times, just stop generating complied files which are used by the site to output the HTML (the stuff you see). When we first started encountering this issue, we figured it was due the file transfer we did before upgrading the server. At clearing such files, the affected pages did work again, but now new files are not being complied correctly.

I have no idea why the template system is doing this and after trying to resolve the issue, I decided it is best to replace this system with something different; something more reliable. We have already started rolling out this new system with our admin backend, but it is still buggy due to how some of our template files were coded. The template files are being converted to work with the new system (around 900 files) and I need to make sure they all will work once we make the live switch.

I want to apologize for all of this. This upgrades, while necessary, has had many adverse effects with the site that hasn't been fun for anyone. I am going to get this templating system live sometime this week, but in the mean time if you encountering any pages doing this, keep reporting it (or if it happens to be the message page again, drop a comment here).

Around midnight (July 6th), we plan on disabling the site for about five minutes as preform some quick work on the database. When the time comes for it, I will make another announcement indicating the exact time.
