Upgrading the forum software - IMPORTANT

Post by nchoney »

Talked with Monica's friend, Emily (who knows about the software that runs our forum) and she's willing to help us by upgrading the software. We were hoping to create a backup today and she could do the upgrade tonight. But... I'm not finding a backup option... so she may wind up doing that tonight if she can find it.

We're hoping it will all be done and happily running by morning.

BUT.... if the forum is down later tonight or tomorrow morning, don't be alarmed... we'll get it back up as quickly as we can.

Not to worry. If the forum is down I'll just go sit in a corner and cry for a bit and then eat chocolate. Chocolate makes everything better, especially Milky Ways. :lol:

Thanks for the update Debi and of course, thanks to Emily for being willing to help us out.

I'll sit on my hands and get lots of hugs from Kenan to help me though the stress!

Try crafting therapy... :lol: Be interesting to see how much Emily swears and grumbles tonight in the process. As I'm sure Debi can attest, there is always something that has to be kicked or tweaked or adjusted or whatever... And no, I won't video any of it. She'd murder me in my sleep! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe this should have been done under the full moon?

Hey guys, Emily here -- I found out how to do a backup of the forum, I did two - one local to my laptop and one online - and now I'm working on setting up my laptop to let me do the upgrade for you - The site WILL be down for a very short time while the upgrade runs and I'll drop back by to let you know when it's done!!
