PHPBB upgrade is complete. If you see errors, let me know.

I'm suspicious because it seems to have gone remarkably well. I only managed to consume a small amount of rum. So little in fact that the Mrs is worried that I've missed something. She has triple checked my list and all items are checked off. Post here if you encounter issues.

There was an error with an no longer supported module (the one that added the little forum drop down tree in the breadcrumbs top of page) so I've had to disable that. I'll look into how we can get it fixed and reenabled. Weather is bad today so I may just do it myself and submit it back but... I'm too old to be responsible :)

Let me add my "Thank you Jaysen" to the chorus. :D

Website maintenance seems like the kind of job that nobody notices when things are working properly, so it's more often you would hear complaints than thank-you's.

No problem guys. I value the forum here and I know that BBC isn't an IT shop. It's the thing I can do to give back to the community here.

In other news... if we are lucky I may have managed to remove the need for that stupid "are you human" check as well this weekend. fingers crossed!
