Hey Everyone,
I had to do some major modifications to the forum backend last night and didn't get any sleep. The forums were still running on mysql4 and the support for this was discontinued. I had to upgrade the database to mysql5 and it didn't go smoothly. There were some database names that would not convert and it was a major PITA.
I have to thank our hosting company ICDSOFT (http://www.icdsoft.com/). They have hosted my various websites for about 15 years now and are second to none when it comes to technical support. They pretty much rebuilt my database for me and got things back online.
Please let me know if anyone experiences any issues with the upgraded database.
Cheers, Allen
