I'll be upgrading our forums to use VBulletin v3.0.3 this afternoon. This is a big upgrade from our current v2.3.5. VB3 has many improvements over VB2 and requires that the database be converted. The backup, upgrade/conversion and testing should take about 3 hours. Depending on how the whole voting thing goes tomorrow I hope to begin the process at about noon.
I have done a test conversion of the forums on our old server Thor on my network here. It went fine and the various scripts that power the main OCAU site from the forums back-end work with a minimum of modification.
So, if OCAU and/or the forums are unavailable when you visit this (Saturday) afternoon, try later.
There WILL be a transitional period where we work out the wrinkles and new features of the software. For example, the OCAU theme might need some tweaking before it looks perfect, and there might be some default settings we will end up changing. We'll make a thread for VB3 feedback, comments, suggestions etc once the initial conversion is complete and the forums are back up.
