Panache was selling porkies about wearing the tall, pointy hat. Think about it. It's me going to be doing the upgrade, so who's wearing the hat?

Mike,

Thanks for all the hard work you do here. Next time you're in Colorado, let us know and we'll buy you a wee dram or three.

Wow. You're going to do the upgrade while wearing a hat with Margaret Thatcher sitting on top?!

You're braver than I.

Welcome to vBulletin 3.7.0!

The forum upgrade procedure is complete and everything is working as it should. I'll be a while editing templates to bring back some of the functions you are used to seeing, so hang tight.

While you're waiting, go visit your User Profile.

What do you mean it's 'done'? I only just woke up and now I have nothing to bitch about! Thanks for nothing, oh and doing this. You have to admit It is fun watching Riverkilt getting all flustered during the downtime...



Edit: Went to my user profile, it looks very interesting. What is Visitor messages though? When would I use this feature? Is it new or have I just missed it in the past?

[Mike1]

OK, boys and girls, it's all yours.

There are some new options and those all require permission settings, so don't pitch a shoe if something isn't working quite as it should. Use the Tech Questions forum and we'll address the issues as quickly as possible.

I'll be making some changes as the morning progresses, but you should be seeing everything as it should be.

re: Visitor Messages - yes, they are a new feature. Instead of logging into the User Control Panel to send a quick message, a visitor message can be left in your profile. These messages are viewable by everyone, so please do not use them to send sensitive data.

For the record, that was one hour, thirty-three minutes, from get-go to gone. That will be all of you, on the bell.
