Updated Forum Software

Just done a fairly hefty upgrade to the software & database...

If anyone runs into any errors, please post in here so I can get onto it...

I am aware there are some issues hidden away where regular users can't get, but this shouldn't affect normal use.

Cheers

Paul

Hmmm that should still work...

Is there a PM Icon underneath?

As for the current time-out issues, there is quite a big queue of things being processed by the board at present, so will take time to clear unfortunately...

I get this error whenever I click on previous pages on "View your posts"

"Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes."


If you can fix that, i'll be well happy.. :)


And the postcount has gone



Also get a load of BBCode errors whenever I post. They're at the top, above the banner. When they appear again, i'll copy + paste them here.

Search is a load issue, will have a go at sorting it soon...

There are a few problems still though, I may have to take the board down sometime next week (mid-week ish) for a day or 2 to properly sort it though...

I've increased the tolerance of the search, shouldn't cut out as often/if at all now...
