All,
I have now upgraded the forum to the very latest version of the YaBB 2.4 !!
As you have no doubt already noticed, all of the membership information, boards, threads and posts are totally intact. As usual, there was an extremely large amount of manual work involved in this upgrade. Not only installing the new, core files for the forum but configuration and having to manually update the default 'black look' template to make it 2.4 compatible.
I would suggest that each of you check your profile within the 'User CP' tab to ensure that all of your personal settings are as they should be. Also, if any nobody notices anything unusual, odd, weird etc. please start a thread within the '
Ask The Admin' section.
Before I (finally) go to bed, here's a list of the enhancements, fixes etc. within this version :-
