Major new upgrade of MyBB

[DjPete]

We will be upgrading to new version in the next 24 hrs.
Since this is a MAJOR upgrade there may be some teething problems.

If there is any downtime...it will be minimal.

If anything breaks remember to call Volvi not me!!!
:-)

In any case a full database/file backup will be done.

Bear with us as we commence the changeover....

We will notify when complete...

[DjPete]

remind me not to push that button again pls.
Apologies all.
I had some ISP issues as I was uploading files for 45 mins.
And then had to try upgrade twice which didn't take.
We will try another way.

Images still uploading to restore the board back to normal.
Should be 100% in about 30 mins.

seems vers 1.2 plugins will intefere with 1.4 install. plugins need to be 1.4 designates which not be available at this point of time so I believe. Anyway leave it to you.......da Webmaster.

And I think I heard somewhere that the knee bone's connected to the thigh bone.....

WELL DONE PETE! Buggered if I know what you did.

[DjPete]

Um Heidi.
All we did was waste some time.
lol
We tried to upgrade but she didn't want go.
So if we upgrade to new 1.40 souped up version we will need to do it as fresh install import database routine.

A bit more scary but hey..we ride bikes don't we?

We're in good hands Heidi... just sit back, relax and get ready to give Dj a huge pat on the back.... it's that easy for those of us that know nothing of what's involved.

Of course, something tells me it's a pretty complex and intricate operation so I'll just whip on my peril sensitive sunglasses (for those of you who've read HitchHikers) and have another Pan Galactic Gargleblaster to settle my nerves.

No, on second thought... I'll go for a ride.

Absolute faith in you Pete....

[Dan85]

Gargleblaster aye Astro? not that theres anything wrong with that

[DjPete]

we may not be going ahead at the moment.
the new version doesn't support any of our plugins or themes so it would be a real pain.
also it is almost identical to look at.
most of the changes are in the backend.
and because it is new there will be bugs etc.
i think Volvi is thinking along the same lines.
