I plan to attempt to upgrade our (now very out of date) copy of the Simple Machines Forum to the version 2.1, currently a release candidate but as best we can tell stable enough to use for real.
This will start this coming Friday morning (10 April), and should take an hour or two; the forums will be unavailable whilst the upgrade takes place. If there are delays, I'll post updates on our
Facebook page.
There will undoubtedly be things broken and not quite right; I'm on enforced holiday this week and next so I should have plenty of time to fix them.
One thing I
know is that by default, email notifications will be turned off by the upgrade. After the upgrade, it's easy to re-enable these on the Notifications page of your profile.
If you want a preview of the new software, please visit
the QA site. Note that anything posted there will be lost during the upgrade, so if you spot a problem, please report it here on the live site instead.
Thanks,
Gizmo
