Warning: major bulletin board upgrade coming soon
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 2:05 pm
I might even try pushing it out tonight if I can work out some last critical kinks (habitcal integration).
The new version of the software (phpbb3 vs. the phpbb2 we're currently running) is much, much nicer -- and all the urls to existing posts and discussions stay the same. Among other things, the search mechanism is actually useful. It's working nicely in test (except for the habitcal, but I think I'm close to getting that to work as well).
I'll have to shut down the current version before porting the data over to be sure no one loses messages they post during the upgrade, but I'll post a warning here about an hour before I do that so you don't get cut off in the middle of a magnum opus.
