Okay, so the upgrades are almost finished, but I think we can make do. I'm working on rebuilding the search tables in the database right now and while it's a slow process, it should be done in the next few days.

You'll notice that the articles section has a new look! I'm counting on you all to let me know what should and shouldn't be there since I ported everything from the articles forum to it. If someone would like to help get this section in order, shoot me a PM. :smile:

We also have a new reviews section! It's up to you guys to start getting it all going. :wink: The old Hair Products and Reviews section is now listed as just "Hair Products" now.

The sidebar is here to stay, though I have made it easier for you guys to get used to by allowing the main page to span the width of your browser.

Most of the major upgrades were server upgrades, so there aren't many new features, but I know you all will be pleased with the articles and reviews sections.

Enjoy, welcome home, and sorry for the delay! :flowers:

YES! WOOHOO!!! I have absolutely no grammar skills! I lubs you, Steph.:flowers:

Hurray! :rockerdud :rockerdud

Hooray,

:wethree:

It was nice to see TheBeautyBottle, but my obsession is definitely hair.

I loooooove the wider format.:heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat

Is there any way that we can review Vendors also? Sometimes it's really helpful to know about product differences and packaging methods when we're buying raw ingredients and things.

Yay! Thanks Steph! Hi all! :waving:

No vendor reviews yet. I'm working on a system to allow it, though. :smile:

:hollie: Yay! LHC is back! Thanks Steph!:rockerdud :hollie:

Thanks you guys! :grin: :flowers:

I like the pink. ;)
The pink is...

PINK

Wow.

Blinding. :bigeyes:

It's so great to have this site back! Thanks for redoing it - it looks really good.

Thanks Stephanie! I missed TLHC and now its back. Plus the Article Section that I seem to remember vaguely from when I was lurking is back !!!!!!!:cloud9::rockerdud:inlove::hollie::love::bo wtome::waltz:And so many more smiles including that shocked chicken from TBB (The beauty bottle)

Thanks Stephanie :flowers: The site looks great :inlove:

Yay!!! :hollie:

Thanks Stephanie!

Um.. this thread has gone all wide, I think it might be idealthursday's siggy (sorry!)

Thanks, Steph! There are things about each site that I love. :inlove: Glad TLHC is back. :flowers:

Hurrah thank you Stephanie it's great to be back I too like the beauty bottle but this is home. :hollie:

I must say, LHC is looking mighty fine, Steph! I adore the Fluid Blue background color. It's one of my very favorites. I lovingly call it "Tiffany Blue". :grin:

TBB is wonderful, too. I will continue to visit there, as well.

So then, a toast, to our very talented Webmistress! *clink*

Aw. :grin: Welcome home, everyone. :grin: *clink*

Oh c'moooon.... lemme turn off the sidebar. Please?

Thanks, Steph....It loooks great! :grin:
*clink*

Beatnik: Veuve Clicquot, here. *cheers*

Thank you! It looks super!:inlove:

YAY!!! The site looks fantastic Steph! :flowers: Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into making this such a fabulous resource & haven for all things long-haired! :rockerdud :rockerdud


R~

*sigh*....how wonderful it feels to be home again! I love the new blue color! Thank you Stephanie for all your time. TLHC provides much needed social time for me.:cloud9:

Wow, it looks really nice. I love the teal color. I'm off to go explore the new features. Thank you Stephanie and LHC mods!!!

And...we're back!
Yay!:hollie:

Stephanie! How did you know aqua is my favorite color? :inlove: Everything looks wonderful. :flowers: I'm so glad to be back here but I've fallen in love with TBB too so I'll just have to make time for both places. LHC addesses my hair addiction and TBB addresses the make up addiction. Sigh. What can I say? :wink:

Thank you so much Steph, for all the work you do. And I adore the PINK color.

Yay!!!! It's back, it's back! Thank you - I sure missed this place :) :) :flowers:

Great to be back! I love the articles. So much to read and explore. Thanks for all your hard work!

Yay! It's good to be home again! And thanks for the new teal colour, Steph -- I like it and it's easy on my migraine-sensitive eyes. (Bright, high-intensity colours can trigger my headaches sometimes, and I couldn't use anything but the boring default grey on the old LHC site. :rolleyes: So this is a vast improvement!)

Hey, guess what time it is? :?:
It's nanner time!!! :hollie::hollie::hollie:

ETA: Drat, I like the purple colour too! Now I have to choose! :flowers:

Whew! Now my withdrawal symptoms will go away.

Thank you so much, Steph! The site upgrade is awesome!

It is great to be home again! :hollie: :waving: :hollie: :waving:

OH! Thank God LHC is back up!:rockerdud :inlove: I like BeautyBottle too ... but I miss reading the journals here... :)

Thanks Steph!:flowers:

Glad to be home. I missed you all. What a long week.

Happy that LHC is back again. Great looks and great work done.

Steph
Thanks for all your hard work and the site is looking stunning - it is good to be back here.

thanks again Steph !

:waltz: :smooch: :wethree:

Love the way the sight looks, Stephanie!!! thank you for all the hard work.

hey if you need any help let me know.

WOW! :shocked: You know how it feels to go on vacation, then come home. At first the vacation is great, then you miss home more and more. Then you finally walk in the door and you relax. Well the feeling is pretty much the same however better, because someone has come in and cleaned up, and rearranged. :bowtome: What a surprise!! Thanks bunches to everyone and anyone who helped :waving:...I see Stephs name mentioned alot. But I do not want to leave anyone out here. I absolutely LOVE the pink and the purple colors...Gosh this is so exciting to me. :hooched: White Zen all around...LOL

SOOOO HAPPY TO BE BACK HOME:hollie: :hollie: ! Really love the sidebar..thanks Steph:rockerdud !

It's so great to have LHC back; it's one of those things you kind of take for granted until you don't have it anymore, then you realize how much you miss it! Thanks for all your hard work, Stephanie! :flowers:

This is AWESOME!!! Thank you so, so much! I love it!

Yay! LHC is back! Thanks Steph! :flowers:

Wonderful! Missed this place - looks great!

I wanted to thank you for all your hard work, Steph, and to let you know that as much as I really like the BB (the board features are great!), LHC is my home. I love this place. :inlove:

Do you think you'll be offering premium memberships here? I always said that I'd love to have more PM space. I'm ready when you are! :wink: :flower:

Thank you Stephanie! The site looks great so far! I haven't done much exploring, yet. It's just so good to be home!! :hollie: :hollie: :hollie: :flowers:

Thanks for all of your hard work.:smile:

Great to have everything back to the "new normal." Glad to see the articles back, especially. Good luck with the new direction!:grin:

Stephanie, our beloved net-mama, we'd be lost without you!! Thanks for improvements yet again to keep us up and running, uh, posting :cloud9:

Thanks, Stephanie! I'm sure it's been a lot of work. We appreciate you and all you do!

Stephanie I've loved TLHC for these 5 months now but I was getting just as hooked on TBB. Both outstanding sites. Well designed, well run, well moderated. I'm happy to be a member of both wonderful places. Thank you for everything.

And now becaue I've missed these little guys...:flowers: :cloud9: :sun: :heartbeat :hollie: :love: :rockerdud :hollie: :D

Glad to be back.....in purple heaven bliss!
Thanks Steph for your commitment here and for the BB to hang out at when this was down. And the Mod Squad, back to vigilance now, glad for everyones input and support. Now I can read the articles, hurray:flowers:

Thanks Stephanie for all your hard work. Thanks !!!! for the color purple.:cloud9:

home sweet home. =)

Wow! Thank you for all your hard work! Love the new look and am so happy to see the return of the articles. Most especially I want to thank you for that newer, quicker edit feature. It makes it so much easier for me to correct my many, many boo-boos! :oops:

Thanks again for making this site such a wonderful place to be!:flowers:

thankyou for all the work! I just had an idea. Is it possible to make a link to your journal in the list on the left?

So glad that the site is back up, and many thanks for all your time and work!
