Forum outage: 31 Dec 2017

[gabba]

Hi all

Happy new year to everyone. We are a couple of patches short on the core forum files and I'd like to patch these up tonight if possible.

The patches being applied contain security and minor enhancements. One key change is support for PHP7. Implementing this, along with a couple of other changes I've already made on the server should make things run a little faster.

The forum will be unavailable while the changes are being made. This could be as early as from 7pm tonight. If all goes well it won't take too long to make the changes.

Any concerns or questions please post below

... You are going to willingly do software upgrades on New Years Eve

I think you must be " a couple of patches short "

Thanks gabba, hope it all goes well & doesn't eat into your NY's eve too much.
Happy New Year & all the best for 2018.
Cheers

Ditto from me, too Gabba.

...that's probably quite accurate ;-)

I figured that early this evening would be a good time as I thought it would be a quiet time. If it all goes well it will be pretty simple. If not, then I'll try and stay off the alcohol for as long as possible lol

Fingers crossed and thank you Gabba

All done

Thanks for your patience. No major problems this time, just took my time. If you spot any issues let me know.

Cheers
