July 2021 - Board, PHP and more Upgrades Warning
Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2021 10:02 pm
Greetings everyone,
While we haven't been having any issues, as some of you know this version of phpBB is rather old. Because I had to actually downgrade PHP to get it working, and I now have a few weeks to work on things (for once), I'm going to be testing making a fully site and database backup, then upgrading the board.
During the upgrade, to ensure that no one is able to post, I'll put a basic password on the website with an upgrade in progress message.
I do not have an exact time yet, as I would like to do a practice run or two before doing the final upgrade.
One thing I am worried we will use though is our current theme. If anyone has any suggestions on new theme's or looks for the boards they would like considered please let me know.
