Just to give everyone a heads-up.
Sometime in the near future this board will be upgraded to the new version 4.5.
Not sure exactly when. It depends on when they get around to upgrading this server.
As I get more information I will post it.
As well as a list of changes you might see.
Most things that are affected by this upgrade won't be noticable to people here.
The only reason I even mention it right now, is that there may be some down time.
Idealy it won't be long, but thing are not written in stone and you never know what exactly will happen.
More info tonight, when I get more of a chance to research things.

A few more details. How long will the upgrade take?It may take up to a day to upgrade the entire server. During this time your forum will be 100% accessable until your forum is in the conversion process. Most message boards take less than a minute to convert, while some of the largest may take up to 3 hours. For the duration of your forum's conversion, a message will be displayed letting your visitors know that an upgrade is in progress and to check back later Will all of my old codes in my headers/footers still work?While the majority of codes will still work, we can not guarantee that every single one will. I am not running a lot of codes on this board, so hopefully there will be no conflicts. After the upgrade anthing causing problems I will disable and try to find an updated version of the code. Most of my code deals with the smilies and the multiple skins.Version 4.5 Features (abbreviated) New thread sort options, Revamped poll system with many new options: Character limit in posts and personal messages has been in been increased from 25,000 to 60,000 characters. Listing of all users online over the entire day is now available. We have that now, but it is a code I added to the board. The new included version might be slightly different but it will still be basically the same thing. I guess now it will be something that each user can choose to see or not to see. So if you don't like it, you should be able to turn it off in your profile..Calendar entries displayed at the bottom of the page are now in date order. Ability to request a forgotten password by email address has been restored. I didn't even know they took that option away  .Improved page jump, decreasing load times on large boards/threads/member lists. |

The upgrade has now occured.
If you notice anything not working correctly, please post it in this thread so I can check on it.
I know there are a few things that may not be exactly right until the entire server has been upgraded (ie link addresses for some codes and such)
