After months of messing about on a test site, procrastinating and modifying our custom theme our modest 350 member forum was upgraded from V4.5.1 to V5.0.4 tonight and it went without a hitch.

I’d like to publicly thank Andy and Steve for their tireless support even while developing the forum software. I hope that my development went some way to help shape things as they have turned out.

When our members wake up in the morning they will get a surprise, I am absolutely 100% certain that the new look forum will be well received. The upgrade really was extremely painless as I only have one core modification, everything else is in my theme.

So we will see how it is received and I will report back. Unfortunately the forum is very private so I can’t share it with you
