In the coming year we plan on upgrading the software Bluelight runs on, hopefully twice to bring us up to the latest version.
Doing so will mean that some older parts of the site, parts that will not be compatible with the latest version of vBulletin may break permanantly.
In anticipation of this, the administrators have decided to close the Bluelight Gallery for good and put on notice to those with jounals in the old vbJournals plugin that they must archive their journals if they want to keep them. Image uploading and commenting in the Gallery has now been turned off.
We will do everything possible to keep these modules working in future, if we're lucky one or both of them will hang around as parts of our history but we also have to take into consideration the time constraints we're under and that the priority of our efforts will be on improving our forums.
We have set an earliest estimated date of deactivation of both for April the 1st 2010. This is the earliest that we estimate we will be ready for the second upgrade to vBulletin 4 Suite.
Until that time, if you have content on either, please copy and backup anything you would like to keep. There are tips in this thread on how to export your journal quickly.
Journals of course have been replaced by blogs, the blogs module is now a fully integrated part of vBulletin and a valued part of Bluelight, they will not be going anywhere.
After our upgrades are complete, we may look at starting new galleries using the vBulletin member albums feature but we are a long way from evaluating whether this will be worthwhile.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. Also we'd like to thank and express our gratitude for everyone over the years who has worked on Galleries and Journal.
For any questions or comments, please use this thread in Support.
