A new version of the software the site runs has been released phpBB 3.0.12.
Over the last few days I have been busy sorting out the necessary files and mods needed for the update and I now think I have them sorted.
The next few days I will be installing this on my test site and if all goes well I will be taking the forum off line wile I install the updates, hopefully I will be able to fix the issue with the chat box as well. I will post a notice when the forum will be going off line, but even if the tests go ok it will not be till at least the weekend.
It is also the time of year when the bills start coming in for the running of the forum like server costs, site name fees and security, etc.
I have had a long think about putting adverts on the site to cover some of the cost and decided against it, I may add a donate button at sometime in the future so members can help out if they want.
Thanks Bez
