Members -
As I'm sure you are all aware, we have been under attack with a malicious redirect code that was sending members to various sites when trying to access BtownBanners.com. From 8pm last night to 6am this morning I was working very closely with a company we hired to fix the situation. Once the situation was fixed, the only way we could ensure the code didn't reappear was to update BtownBanners.com to the latest software version 4.0.
We know there are many changes to this new version that will take some time to get used to. We ourselves are not well versed in the new system yet either as we did not get the opportunity to play around with it before going live. That is NEVER the best situation, but when members can no longer visit BtownBanners from work, or their computers we had a problem.
The site you see right now is VERY BASIC. This was the bare bones to get us up and running. Over the course of the next few days/weeks/months we will be adding back and changing the site to your preferences. I want to stress that this is a VERY BASIC version of what we will end up on.
The company I used last night's advice was to keep the site down for two weeks to get familiar with the site for a smooth transition and launch. You all know after reading that how crazy that suggestion was given the time of the year. We decided to move forward with the hopes to use THIS THREAD as a learning tool.
PLEASE use this thread to comment things you like, things you'd change, things you don't like. If it isn't mentioned in this thread, we will not be able to fix it as we don't know there is an issue. We will continue to update this first post with your Ideas and suggestions below. Please do us a favor and let us know your thoughts.
Thank you for being a valued member of BtownBanners!

Things We Love:
BtownBanners mobile browser and computer browser are the same experience. (App is still best mobile w/ update coming!)
Things We Hate:
#IUBBPickems - Where did they go? Pickems are going to have to be rebuilt from the ground up for this new version. The coding was never transferred by the app owner so this is something we will tackle this summer. We apologize that the current pickems are affected by this.
Things that need to change:
fix the broken images under everyone's avatars. (3/24/16) FIXED
Notifications for Firefox & Google are really annoying. Can we turn off?
