phpBB has just released Version 3.0, Olympus. I will be doing some testing tonight and I may or may not be installing it tonight. It will all depend on the testing and how quickly or slowly I learn the new administrative procedures.
When I do make the changeover, whether tonight or later, there will be some down time for the Board. This is due to the way the database is converted from Ver. 2.0.22 to 3.0.0 and the recommendation that the "old" Board be deactivated during the conversion. I don't know how long this will take, but my guess is anywhere from several minutes to a few hours.
Although I don't anticipate any major problems, if anything causes extended downtime on the forum, I'll post a notice on TexasShooting.com and in the Site Announcements section of TexasIDPA.com in the forum section.
I think most folks are going to like the new feature in Olympus; I just hope the conversion goes smoothly!
Chas.
