Planned Maintainence Required

[Detomah]

At some point over the next few days, Total Format will have to shut down for a bit of planned maintainence. This should literally not require more than 2 or 3 hours of downtime, as the work required is straight forward and is already planned and ready to perform.

I shall give a few hours notice before actually beginning the required work and shall try to perform the work during a quiet period, but wanted to let you know in advance that it will be happening.

I would also like to take this as an opportunity to let people know that the member system for Total format will be making some changes in a few weeks time, introducing premium membership, which will in turn change some of the functionality of what members can and can't do as paid or free members. As has been previously discussed on TF, the premium membership fee will be £10 for a 1 years membership. Some of the things that premium members will be able to do, will be from basics such as have unlimited PM space, access to a premium members private forum section, ability to upload gallery images without moderation and unlimited gallery space and a large variety of other things, including various features which are in the process of being built. Some features currently available to free members will be changed so that only premium members can use them, in a similar way to the way basic members can not access the same things as the current full members can. More details regarding premium membership will be released closer to the time. Oh and for those concerned about payment methods, cheques, cash and postal orders would be acceptable forms of payment when the time comes, too.
