Message Board Software update
Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 11:29 am
If you're reading this you've undoubtably noticed that the message board software has changed.
I've updated us from PhpBB version 2 to version 3. I had been resisting doing this because I hate changes to software and websites that I'm comfortable with, but it became unavoidable. Our web hosting provider upgraded to a new version of PHP, which introduced a weird bug in the older message board software that I was unable to fix. Certain users (anyone with "do" in their name) were unable to log in, getting redirected to pages that did not exist.
So, we are now upgraded. All existing messages and users should have been preserved. The only features that didn't survive the upgrade is the photo album feature, which I hope to get operational within the next few days.
Please send questions or reports of any bugs or problems to me via PM or email.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
