We have been offline for the past hour or so in order to bring the forum up to the gold release of the forum software. This was necessary for several reasons:
1. The security of the forum. Out of date forum software is a prime target for attacks by "kids with scripts!"
2. We can now add modifications to the forum without fear that the next upgrade will break them (up to a point!)
3. There were several bugs in the control panel that are now fixed
All in all the upgrade took just over an hour, which considering we had to go up 2 versions and repair several mods to the forum I thought was pretty good going.
There are bound to be some teething troubles, as there are with any new version. If you spot something not working do please PM me and I will aim to fix it as soon as I can.
Thanks,
Jim
