If all goes as planned, I will begin the migration on Monday, April 14, 2025, at 12 PM EST (UTC-5). The migration is estimated to take approximately 4 hours. During this time, the site will enter maintenance mode and remain inaccessible until the migration is completed. Once everything is fully migrated and set up, the DNS will be updated to point to the new server. I will update the maintenance page if the migration takes longer than expected or if any issues arise. If there are any changes to the migration schedule, I will post updates here. Thanks

My pleasure..

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you.

Hey everyone, I’m excited to share that I’ll be upgrading our forum software to the latest version soon. This is a major update focused on backend improvements, enhanced security, and overall modernization. While I’m working hard to make the front end as close as possible to what we’re all accustomed to for this initial migration, you will notice some changes. Here’s what to expect: Classic and Modern Themes The current look and feel of the forum will be called “WPX Classic” and will remain the default for now. After the migration settles, I’ll introduce a “WPX Modern” theme. You’ll have the option to switch between Classic and Modern based on your preference. Even in the Classic theme, the forum will gain a more modern, functional experience. Key Improvements While there is an endless list of little things that are improved on the front & back end, here are a few of the key improvments. Mobile: A significantly improved mobile browsing experience and App Setup. Dark Mode: A native dark mode option will be available from launch. My Streams Menu: A customizable view for sorting articles, posts, topics and even tags, moving beyond just showing “Unread All.” Performance Improvements: Along with the software upgrade, I’m also moving the forum to a new server. This upgrade to both the software and hardware should provide noticeable performance improvements. While things have been running pretty well, now is the perfect time to make these enhancements. Future Customization: This upgrade will enable us to introduce and customize future enhancements on both the back end and front end, giving us greater flexibility to adapt and improve over time. Temporary Changes Tags: Tags will be temporarily disabled at launch but will return soon as we digest how to use in the new system. The updated tagging system will be more useful, allowing features like creating streams based on tags and following your preferred tags. The store will not be available initially after the migration. A new store will be launched soon. Downtime Information This migration is a large and complex task. I estimate that the forum will be offline for up to 4 hours during the update. I’ll try to keep the site accessible in guest mode during this time, but you won’t be able to log in. Migration Timeline The update will take place between April 12th and 15th. Once I finalize the exact date and start time, I’ll post an update here. I’ve already done a few dry runs, and I’m confident it should go smoothly. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to bring you these exciting updates. I’m confident this upgrade will not only enhance our community now but also set the stage for continued improvements and useful features in the future, providing a more secure and customizable platform for everyone. I think thats it for now.. Stay tuned for more details.

@TimG nope wasn’t me, I went against the grain a bit and played around with the Z 14-24. Welcome @Jeff181818

Welcome!! Glad to have you here.

Wetpixel is on a much older version of Invision, as time passes Security vulnerabilities increase. Potentially allowing the site to be hacked, accounts compromised, new accounts created in order to scam current members. Be more cautions than normal on Wetpixel please. Thanks @jlaity for mentioning this as a warning to people still using Wetpixel classifieds. Im not saying this happened but it's 100% possible. Seems that Adam is paying the bills currently on hosting and domain as well as he just updated the DNS on the domain to the new server. Maybe he is approving new accounts and rumaging around I don't know.

Yep, looks like he updated DNS.

Welcome!!!
