If you see the forum go down for a little while I was in the middle of upgrading it.

If you see it down for a long while, I screwed up... LOL

Later

Ok, Upgrade should be done. I might do a couple backups here in a bit that could take it down for a few seconds at a time. Let me know if something on the forum that was working appears to not be now.

Thanks

Getting ready to update forum software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[E_]

Going to run an upgrade on the forum to the next version. Will run at 9PM.

Also in a side note, if you can read this and you could not before that is because I decided to clear the list of banned IPs for 2012. Hope this is a good thing.

Anyway, LOVE Bluehost, I just log into their control panel and select I want to upgrade the forum and it does it. (Well it did last time... lol)

Here are the release notes for the new version if you want to feel like a dork.
