Hi chaps,
Once again I am going to update the software for the forum.

Having looked at what needs doing I've seen that this is not your average update and it may take me some time. I want to do a full database and software backup before I start so I will close the forum tonight (Saturday) in order to get this done. If the database etc have been saved properly I'll try and do the upgrades on Sunday.

The reason the forum needs to be shut is that if something goes wrong and the datbase becomes corrupted or deleted I need to have it all backed up. Any posts made after the back up has been started would be lost.

Hopefully with this upgrade we might get a new and improved gallery but we'll see how things go. One thing we will definately get back is the spam blocker in any case.

Thanks for your understanding

Right the forum is now back up in reasonable working order. The gallery is not the new all singing all dancing one I'd hoped to install but I thought you guys would prefer to get the forum back up ASAP. I'll try updating it when I can't sleep one night.

The colours probably won't look exactly the same as they did before. All the old info got wiped and I couldn't be bothered picking through the backup file to find the required info.

Any bugs please let me know, we should have a spam-bot blocker in now as well.
