Exclamation Forum Upgrade

FYI, today I have upgraded to the latest version of the forum software. Hopefully, we won't have any more issues with the spammers (our mods did a great job keeping them at bay).

But, this is a great upgrade and much needed. A special thanks to my friend Michael who helped me upgrade the database program.

Anyway, just keeping you all in the "technical loop", so go fish and have fun!

(and don't forget to take pictures and let us know how you did )

Sorry abou the spammers. I'll call the software manufacturer today and find out what we can do to help prohibit this. From what I understood, the patches in the upgrade were supposed to keep that junk out...

Exactly...

Chomper, the server we were on was an older version of the Linux operating system. I had some conflicts with the new forum software and was forced to upgrade to the newest version. A real pain, but necessary.
