Is anyone going to be hugely upset if we replace the forum with version 3 today?

This will mean the forum skin will be a default forum skin until we can skin it.... however forum will be much better in terms of functionality.

yay or nay?

I think it'll take about 5 hours due to the fact VX220 appears to have a bizillion private messages.

Will keep this thread updated.

Its doing it on another server at the moment. So won't take the site offline at all hopefully.

Only thing we may get is a slight loss in data... I'll try to work around that but either we go offline and upgrade or I do it along side and we loose a few threads.

Take ya pick!

Fair enough.. ill upgrade on a test server, make sure we are good, come back here and upgrade it properly but will have to take offline.

I'll know how long its going to take as well once its done the upgrade.
