Website maintenance (upgrade of forum)

Luc_VanDyck

The upgrade of the forum to the latest version of phpBB, is scheduled for the weekend of 20-21 September 2008. During that time, the forum will not be available for entering new postings. It could be possible that the forum is available, but then it will be in read-only mode. During the actual transfer of the forum database, the forum is likely to be out-of-order.

Other parts of the site will also be, partly, unavailable.

We expect to have the conversion completed on Monday 22 September 2008, but expect some (hopefully small) issues with the forum or site in the first few hours and days.

In the meantime, you can start preparing for the new forum interface and features, by reading kriki's blog postings: http://mibuso.com/blogs/kriki/category/mibuso

Thank's for your patience and continuing support!

Waldo

Yes, time to play with kids DenSter, this time you will not have excuse... 8)

Luc: I wish you luck during the upgrade... I never estimate time for such a job, because if I say to my wife "it is only small upgrade, it will be finished in 2 hours", I will return next day early morning with red eyes...

I think that all ITs know that...

But remember that with version 3, you don't need to put [SOLVED] anymore, but you need to change the attribute to solved!
