Website update on Sunday!

We will be turning off all clan websites at 6am eastern (3am pacific, 11am GMT) for an update. This update will bring many new features, in particular we have made it a lot easy to design your own theme using the theme builder.

If you have a domain name you will have to change your DNS settings. This is because we will be upgrading our system and moving to a new data center. On Sunday your domain name will be disabled. You will then have to re-enable your domain name once we have finished our update. Please ensure you have set DNS A records for both your domain name and the alias of “www.” in front of your domain name to:

46.32.231.215

After the update your website will be temporarily available at: http://clan.iclanwebsites.com/YOUR-CLAN-ID

We expect there to be a few hours of down time and we will get your clan website back online as soon as possible.

Here is a list of new features/changes:

• New admin panel
• New FTP file space
• Improved theme builder
• Forum re-design
• Profile retouch
• New chat room
• Multiple members in private messages
• Admins can send site-wide private messages
• More social plugins
• Admin access levels
• Default avatar/user picture
• Template/theme backups
• Search engine optimization – describe your pages
• Quick reply box
• Bug fixes
• Free website: all features available (but ad supported)
• Premium subscription: $24.99/year (with 1 GB file space, no ads and customer support tickets)

You might notice your website will look different after the update. Also if you use the theme builder for the first time if you have already been using the theme builder: you may have to do some tweaking/use some of the extra features.

If you notice any bugs or something we have missed please let us know ASAP.

All the best,

iClan Websites
