Forum upgrade

[Chris Worfolk]

Just a heads up, if all goes to plan the forums will be closed tonight in the early hours of the morning to upgrade them to the latest version of vBulletin. During this time the boards will be inaccessible for reading or posting to. The window should last no longer than 30 minutes.

The forum upgrade has been completed successfully. Please let me know if you encounter any problems when using the forums. Also let me know anything that has gone wrong in terms of the look of the site as I had to revert a few templates. I think I then updated the code once again for everything but I may have missed a few things.

Some of the new features of the new version are...

# Thread tagging
# Friendship system
# Public messaging (walls)
# User photo galleries
# User created groups
# Better profile pages
# Better spam protection!

I haven't really had a play around with vB 3.7 so I don't know if I have to enable features before they can be used and it is likely some will be pointless and therefore be removed but still, have a play and see what you think.

All looks good to me.
Thanks for the upgrade!

While I'm probably speaking too prematurely, the new CAPTCHA seems to be keeping the spam bots away.
