    Default Upgraded Finally!

    This is the third or fourth time I've tried to upgrade the forum software. This time I got some help from a geek-genius in the data center that hosts my server and it worked

    Things might look and act a little differently however by and large all should be the same. One thing to watch for is that you can see new posts since your last login not by clicking the 'What's New' button but by clicking the 'new posts' link under the 'Forum' tab near the top of the page. Not sure why that is but will take a look at changing it.

    If any of you have had any issues previously e.g. loading blank pages, please let me know if these still exist.

    Thanks Andrew!

    I'll let you know if I spot something funky going on. BTW, I hope there is a process of doing backups of the forums posts - it would be such a shame if we lost a bunch of threads due to a hack or computer malfunction (especially sad to lose the ones from members who are no longer with us I guess).

    Will you let us know if you need any contributions to paying for the bandwith & maintenance?

    Right from day one I have always just clicked on the new posts button. But I do remember back when the front page would have a list of the new posts and threads.

    Thanks Yes I have backups running to a local backup server that is maintained by the data centre.

    As for contributions, a few people have mentioned that. I will set something up soon!

    I always click on the New Posts tab, never on the What's New because that always says there is nothing new - lol

    I have always clicked on New Posts, because I am all caught up and want to read only the new stuff. Weird.
    I do notice that people who are currently "online" are now green!

    I know my name is green when I'm online but hadn't noticed the others - mostly because I'm colour blind

    Oh yes also note the Activity Stream which is accessed via a link under the 'What's New' tab. It's kind of like the Facebook news feed:
