Okay, it is once again time to do a major upgrade of the forum software It's way past time that I upgraded the forum software. First, I wanted to wait that all the necessary plug-ins had been updated as well, seeing as this was a major release of the software and the old versions wouldn't work, and then other things demanded my time and attention. Like previous times, this major update has the potential to turn into a bit of a hassle, what with previous themes not being compatible with it etc. But it simply has to be done, if not for any other reason than security - the old version isn't being supported anymore.
I've decided to give it a go tomorrow, April the 19th, probably beginning around 10 am EEST (convert to your time) and hopefully only lasting a few hours at most. I will be posting any necessary updates over on twitter. During the upgrade, only the forums will be down, the rest of the site will be unaffected. After the upgrade, things might look weird at first - clearing your browser's cache/refreshing the page is the first thing you can try, after that it would be really helpful to report any problems, missing features etc.
